A bag with a meaning ✨🌸🫶

If you scroll back far enough, you’ll see just how far I’ve come when making pouches. I started here on lemon 8, documenting my journey as an aspiring entrepreneur with a passion for making things.

I’m not a professional by any means, and definitely have made some atrocious items (that will never see the light of day), but I’m so insanely proud of my progress.

It’s almost been a year since I took my Etsy shop seriously and the amount of support I’ve had from literally strangers is unfathomable. I’ve had repeat buyers, and long-standing supporters. I still remember y’all 😭😭😭.

I’m rich in ways I never thought possible. This is insanely niche and low-key tmi, but the amount of feminine love I feel from y’all is inexplicable and priceless. Something I’ve never really felt before.

Anyways… the video on my TikTok did so well and I’ve never had something like that happen so I’m just feeling grateful.
