etsy shop expansion

I’ve expanded my Etsy shop! Now alongside my classic custom pet portraits, I also have some cardigans/sweaters, and spring coats for sale! I’ve been enjoying making these so much, and I have many more on the way.

The hardest part of this entire new endeavor has been setting prices. I’ve always tried to keep my prices as low as possible (to my detriment — I’ve never hit the minimum wage mark with my custom work!), but with this project I needed to actually start charging for my time and the material (the prices are still low for the amount of hours put into them).


this long, boho cardigan is currently my most expensive piece; from the material cost to the hours I put into washing and combing the vintage cotton trim, and putting it all together. The design, material, and color combo is just gorgeous!! I imagined it being used for something special, like an elopement wedding 🤍

fishnets & mushrooms (ootd #2)

When it comes clothing color schemes, for many years I’ve been a brown+cream combo kinda girl, but lately I’ve gone back to my roots and have wanted more of the stark black+white combos again. Now I’m in desperate need of some black boots.

Also very happy to be bringing the mushroom purse back out, because it’s her time of the year to shine. A couple years ago Instagram targeted me with this purse in an ad, and I’m embarrassed to admit that they knew exactly what they were doing. I bought it as a Christmas gift for myself. I love it, and it’s held up really well 🍄✨

daisy jeans (ootd #1)

Two things:

1. I finally learned how to make Dutch braids

2. I thrifted my first pair of non-skinny jeans in like…15 years

Actually, the latter isn’t true, since I’m still fully in my flare-pants/bell-bottom era. But now I can see why Gen Z brought the relaxed fit back, and despite continuing to hold on to my millennial skinny jeans, I’m fully on board 🌼
