Trial and Error

Novel Vault has been teaching me the concept of trial and error with such intensity over the past few months. I haven't lost my tenacity, but I have to admit, I'm ready to be done setting up so I can enjoy the launch!

Who knew of the amount of materials that an Etsy shop owner must accumulate?! My other shop is a simple photography shop. All I need is a camera and envelopes to ship! Novel Vault is a completely different breed of shop.

I'm currently working with a graphic designer to perfect the branding and am finally in possession of all the supplies I need to finish things up. Here's hoping for the light at the end of that tunnel ;)

"Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties"

When I create an item for my shop, I always step back and ask myself "Would I buy this?" If the answer is yes, I forge on. If it's no, I scrap it and move on.

Yesterday was filled with excitement because I created something worthy of being placed in Novel Vault, and I've been glued to this project hour after hour since its discovery!

I placed an order right away for materials to enhance this new product, and I've not only been creating for Novel Vault, but I've been making extras for friends and family!

I love Etsy. I love Novel Vault. I love this creative process!

Uncontained Excitement!

I'm spending a warm and sunny Southern California afternoon indoors today, which might normally be reason for a pout, but not today! I'm so energized and on a roll with shop preparations, and I'm thinking about the product photos I'm going to ask Avery James Photography to take soon. I've never enjoyed working so much as I have been lately!

I'd say that the past week has be a whirlwind of creativity, and I've had to put some ideas on the back burner so I don't lose focus on Novel Vault. Then again, how could I?! Novel Vault is shaping up to be a delightful adventure!

On Our Way!

I had hoped for an early February launch, but it's looking more like a late February launch now. Just know that Novel Vault is working hard, creating logos, and stocking up for Etsy! This is so exciting :)
