In the beginning of 2012, I worked a desk job that's monotony was unrivaled. It was a small office, and while the people were great, it was next to impossible to fill my time with the few responsibilities I had. Therefore, I had ample time to browse the internet and daydream. During this time, I realized the beauty of Etsy and the platform it could afford me to market my creative passions to the world. So, I started thrifting more regularly and collecting beautiful items that I could offer to the Etsy community. On April 3, I opened my shop with 13 listings including 12 vintage items and 1 handmade item.

Since I have been selling on Etsy, my market has become nationwide and international. It is hard for me to imagine my sales expanding outside of my own circle of friends without a market like Etsy.

As the months have gone by, I've discovered that what I really love is creating handmade products to sell. In October 2012, I started offering handmade greeting cards and continue to grow the inventory of paper goods and handmade items. Then in February of 2014 I purchases a sewing machine and am continuously coming up with new products to create for my shop.
