Whimsy Cottage Creations: A Wild and Wonderful Start

The rollercoaster ride of starting a new business!

Hello, lovely friends!

Wow, what a ride it’s been! I can hardly believe it’s only been two weeks since I launched my Etsy shop, Whimsy Cottage Creations. It feels like a lifetime of excitement, stress, and joy all packed into such a short time. Let me take you through this whirlwind journey!

Launch Day Madness

I launched my shop with so much excitement and a bit of nervousness. Little did I know, all my inventory would sell out within just three hours! I was over the moon and couldn’t believe the incredible support from all of you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

The Unexpected Twist

Just when I thought things couldn’t get any crazier, Etsy banned my shop 24 hours later. I was devastated and completely lost my mind. I couldn’t understand what had gone wrong. After 3.5 days of sheer panic and countless emails, Etsy finally contacted me to say they had banned my shop in error. Phew! My shop was reinstated, and I could breathe again.

Catching Up and Moving Forward

With my shop back up, I had to play catch up with producing and shipping 101 orders. It was a hectic few days, but I managed to get everything done. And guess what? I restocked for a second time, and once again, everything sold out! I’m still in a bit of shock but in the best way possible.

Grateful and Excited

I’m beyond thrilled to be making pretty things and sending them to my friends (that’s you!). This journey has been a rollercoaster, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Thank you for your incredible support and for being part of this adventure with me.

Stay tuned for more updates, new creations, and lots of fun. Here’s to many more whimsical moments together!

With love and gratitude,

Jenny
