Hi, my name is Ong and I own a stationery shop on Etsy. I also enjoy being outdoors with my camera and admiring the beauty of nature. I plan to document my journey as a stationery shop owner and I hope to inspire others to do the same. I think seeing personal growth in our lives and how much we can improve from today compared to a few years later is incredible, and being able to look back on these experiences makes it even more precious. Sometimes we may not see the growth because we're so used to our routines. To see the hardships and challenges you've faced and how you got through it is inspiring and is a reminder of your strength and potential. It too could be an inspiration and motivation for others.
I feel the pain of testing so many different papers and materials. I am not even a business, it is just for fun. Thank you for sharing the supplies you use!
@@designsbyong Same, I am well versed with different types of paper now 😅 Maybe you can use them for thank you cards or even look into selling gift tags!
Thank you! I don't have white ink. I assume the printer just prints color around the white areas as if the white was transparent, meaning it's just the white of the paper itself.
Beautiful 💕 My fave is the Rose bookmark with the filigree edges 💕 But they are all so pretty and I love your aesthetic…… wishing you much success! 🌷sheri
You have a beautiful aesthetic! Your work is impeccable and your color story feels cozy yet sophisticated 💕. I really enjoy watching your vlogs and seeing your creations. Wishing you much success!…… sheri
Awhh!! This makes my heart so full. I love seeing how your journey is all unfolding and coming together. 🥹♥️ You have always talked about wanting to expand your business and vendor at local markets and craft shows and I am so proud of you for stepping out of your comfort zone and making it happen!! You are an inspiration Ong ! I hope you continue to do what you love doing because the work that you do is amazing. I can’t wait until I can come and support you in person one day until then I’ll be supporting you from afar. ♥️♥️
I agree, you are going to go places because you're so innovative and creative and your art is beautiful! :). Thanks for taking us along your journey :)
Congrats on a great second market! Your booth looks great! I only do inventory when I am doing an in person event, haha... I rarely have a lot of one product so I do not feel the need to keep up with it too much. I just make sure that there are enough listed in my Etsy shop. I think prints will go well with your stationery goodies! A lot of people who do stationery eventually branch off and make other products. You do not have to if you do not want to since you want to be stationery focused. Having too many products require extra space anyway, haha! Grid cubes are a great option for displays since they allow you to create many different set ups.
Thank you for watching and for all the feedback! ☺️ I guess it doesn't hurt to try and see if it works. I'm currently planning out some display ideas so your comment about the grid cubes is coming in handy! Thanks again!
Congrats on your first event!!! I think having a calmer first event is a good move since it allows you to ease your way into in-person vending! I recommend individually bagging your stickers or sticker sheets if you live in an area with humidity or you are exposed to humidity - curling is a natural cause of the moisture in the air coming into contact with the paper backing of your items. Good luck at the next one!!
