Shiny and New
I’m trying out a new storefront. It’s more clean and uncluttered than Etsy, and I like that it’s my own little place. It feels kind of like moving from dormitories into an apartment, though I’m not leaving Etsy. I don’t have everything listed there yet, but I’m slowly adding items. Check it out here. For […]
