Wow. Where do I even begin? The past 48 hours have been a bit of a blur [which might have something to do with only sleeping 6 out of those 48 hours], but I know there are many "thank yous" in order. First off, thank YOU for all the kind words about the grand opening of the shoppe. Really, I never imagined that I would make + sell anything, let alone sell it online, so this is a bit surreal for me. But I am SO incredibly thankful for all your support and encouragement through this whole process of opening up the shoppe. Who says kind words can't make a difference? They do!
I also want to thank our babysitter who watched the boys on Tuesday morning so I could set up the shop, which unfortunately took me almost three hours because my internet connection kept going in + out. [Thank you again for your patience!] I hate being late, so there was a bit of stressing out over here, but in the end it worked out. And thanks to Appah, who is out of the country right now, but is always very supportive of my work whether it be in person or through telephone calls.
And lastly, thank you to everyone who placed an order over at the shoppe. I was hoping at best for a nice trickle of orders, so I was a bit surprised when I checked my shoppe after uploading the items. I thought I made a mistake because over half of the items were missing. After a few seconds of panicking I realized they were sold. Duh. Anyways, thank you for your support. It is greatly appreciated. All the orders placed on Tuesday were shipped out yesterday. [Julie, see my granny cart? It comes in handy when you have to mail out over a dozen packages.]
Now I'm back in the studio working on the stationery collection. I thought I was almost finished with everything, but I realized there is still a bit more work to do. I'm hoping to make the collection [or at least part of it] available in the shoppe by the end of next week. Stay tuned.
