WhimsicaiWonderiand on etsy!

I got a few different items from a shop on etsy by the name of NgocMinh on Etsy!

The first item that I received is a phone charm. This is one of those things you put into your headphone jack and it's a little dangle charm. In general I'm not a huge fan of these because I think there a little obnoxious and they always get in the way lol. I really like this one it's super adorable and really soft! I'm not even going to lie I'm not really sure what animal this is. It's either a cat or a bear but I'm pretty sure that it's a cat. Anyways I really like this and I'm for sure going to be using it later on :)

This next item could be classified as 2 different items in my opinion, it could be used as a small pillow or just a plushie. Anyways this is hand sewed and was done really well! I'm a fan of the colors that were chosen for this and I really like it. I think it's simple and really cute, this would match a lot of décor and would look fabulous!

The next item is a hand made Snow White charm made out of polymer clay! This piece is phenomenal I'm blown away by how well this is made. This piece is made out of polymer clay and it's absolutely adorable. The details are incredible in this. She attached this to a bracelet :)

BettyPillows on etsy!

I received an adorable pillow cover from a shop on etsy by the name of BettyPillows!

She made me an adorable pillow cover with Minnie Mouse on it. The red and white polka dot fabric feels just like ordinary cotton fabric but the inside black part is super soft almost like a fleece material. This pillow is adorable. I'm pretty sure it's goin to be hard to find a pillow this size so I'm thinking about just stuffing this with pillow filling instead because it will be a lot easier. The quality of this pillow is really great. I love the 3D effect of the bow gives,it's pretty adorable and adds a lot to this pillow.

The back of the pillow is just the red and white polka dot fabric which is still pretty cute, in my opinion it would have been really cute to add something to back side of this pillow but I mean it's still really cute anyways even tho the back is kind of plain. 

There is a zipper towards the bottom to open and close to add a pillow or even use this as a pocket of some sort. Me personally I'm going to be using it as a pillow sense it's so soft and I'm excited to add it to my Disney collection of pillow :)

BrendaDeesigns on Etsy! Interview :)

 

Name: Brenda Diamant

 

Location: Long Island, New York

 

Age: 23

 

Name of shop: Brenda Deesigns

 

How'd you come up with the name of your shop: My Facebook name is Brenda Dee, and my neighbor actually thought of the name Brenda Deesigns. I figured it’s also a cute spin on the word “designs” and kind of ties in my name. So I ran with it. The name is also pretty generic so it gives me wiggle room to change up the products in my shop.

 

How long has your shop been open: I opened my shop on August 11, 2014, but I just started getting serious with it and promoting it more during the last few months.

 

What gave you the idea about opening an etsy shop: I started off with making jewelry and I wanted to sell it, and I knew Etsy was a good place for that. My shop has evolved since then.

 

Is this a hobby of yours or do you do this full time?It is kind of both for me. Creating has always been a hobby of mine, but my career is Fashion Design and sewing. I have a degree in Fashion Design. I would love for this to eventually give me a good side income.

 

What kind of items do you sell in your shop: I started my shop off with jewelry, and have since expanded to selling illustrations and pillows. I offer maternity illustrations on blank notecards that can be used for baby shower invitations, baby shower thank-you notes, and/or pregnancy or new baby announcements. If someone is interested in notecards but wants a different illustration, say for a wedding, I can do that. My most popular selling items though are my pillows. They are all hand embroidered. I do not use a machine. I like sewing and I love personalizing something special for someone, whether it be for a wedding, a new baby, or just as a decorative pillow with a special quote for the home.

 

Your favorite item that you sell: My favorite pillows are my baby announcement pillows and my wedding pillows. I love celebrating love and new babies!

Something you want to happen to your shop in the future: I want my shop to be successful. I want to expand on the types of pillows that I offer. I have many more ideas that will appeal to anyone, any occasion, and for any room of the house. I still consider my shop in the beginning stages, so I want it to grow and get many more sales. I also want to expand to selling at craft shows and other shops and boutiques. My ultimate goal in life as a Fashion Designer is to have my own business making custom dresses and gowns for women and girls. I want my Etsy shop to be an extension of my business.

 

Do you have any plans for your shop products in the future: Yes

 

If so what: I want to make pillows for every season; for holidays; to honor people (such as cancer awareness), for weddings; for babies; for milestones in kids’ lives; and more.

 

What is something you want your future customers to know about your shop: 

I work by myself. I do everything by myself. I take great pride in everything I make, and I put a lot of hard work and love into everything I make. My goal is always to make something that the customer will love and treasure forever. Anything and everything in my shop is customizeable. I love personalizing things for anyone. It makes me so happy to know that I am making something special for someone that they will treasure and love for a long time. Anyone can feel free to message me on my Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/BrendaDiamantDesigns, or at my Etsy shop, BrendaDeesigns.etsy.com. 

 

My favorite item for sale in this shop is a Disney item, of course lol. I love this pillow! Its so cute and adorable
