How a Kentucky creator turned a hobby into a new Mall St. Matthews store
When her last semester of college moved online because of the pandemic, Kara Holbrook found herself with extra time to lean into her creative side. From the floor of her apartment, she started making polymer clay earrings as a hobby, but after posting some pictures of her handiwork on Facebook, orders poured in. “Next thing I knew, I had people ordering earrings from all over the U.S., like this is crazy, but I want to ride this wave,” Holbrook recalled. The eastern Kentucky native was soon running her own website to help facilitate orders, and a newly created TikTok account, where she showed the earring making and order packaging process, took off. Her business, Beanstalk , was born, years before it would become a brick-and-mortar shop at Fayette Mall in Lexington in 2025 and, as of mid-October, a shop at Mall St. Matthews in Louisville.
