POV: your “easy little side hustle” somehow turned into 5 alarms, 12 coffee refills, loading a car like a game of Tetris, and explaining for the 100th time that yes… we hand make everything 😂✨

Wouldn’t trade this vendor life for anything though 🤙🏼

Over 3 years since our first sale and I still couldn’t do any of this without my partner by my side 🤍 From day one, she’s pushed me, supported every crazy idea, celebrated every win, and helped me through every challenge. This business wouldn’t be what it is today without her love and constant encouragement. Forever grateful to be building this dream together ✨🤙🏼
