Moving Out, Moving On

I recently decided to terminate my space at the brick and mortar art community I was selling my things at. I learned a lot there, especially about what I’m capable of. I created a space there that I felt was inviting and innovative. My ideas trickled into other businesses and honestly, it was nice to have people appreciate my ideas. Unfortunately, it just wasn’t lucrative. I spent more money, time and energy trying to upkeep, and there were months that I couldn’t even make the space rent.

When I first started there, I was excited to have my things in a store, and the prices were very reasonable. After they upped the rent by 3x and charged a commission, I decided to keep going with them, but now it’s just not beneficial in my opinion. I’ve decided to focus more on marketing online, rebranding and setting up my online store to be a place where people will want to buy my items. I want to learn more and do more with Gypsy Caravan, and I want it to continue to grow.

I started this business as a hobby at first in 2019 and since then I’ve made many mistakes but have learned a great deal. I’m hoping this pivot will lead to new exciting places. I want to show my face more on social media, despite how scary that is, and despite my distain for IG and the interweb in general, lol. I want to show alot of different sides of me and what I stand for. From upcycling, to being creative, to styling, to food, to thrifting, nature, solo dates, etc. Thanks for whoever is following along on the ride in the caravan with me <3
