✨💖 THREE YEARS OF HAPPY SHIRTS & MORE By MELISSA 💖✨
What started as a small spark during a big transition in my life has become so much more than I imagined. I’ve been feeling extra sentimental about how it all began.
Three years ago at the end of something that had been deeply important to me for over a decade. When that chapter closed, I felt really lost for for months, I didn’t really know what direction I was supposed to go in. I did not think that I would ever find anything that came close to how much joy and purpose I had felt during that time. I had to step away from something that had given me purpose and connection for so long…but I was standing at the beginning of something new. I truly thought that when I first started, I would make some T-shirts for myself and a couple of friends—something small, something creative, just to fill a quiet space in my life.
Then It became …
Something that would slowly become healing.
Something that would bring joy back into my days.
Something that would grow into creativity, purpose, and connection in ways I never expected. And somehow, without me even realizing it at first, this little business started growing into something purposeful and meaningful —full of things I love to do…and for my own business.
Here’s to 3 years of:
💗 a creative outlet 💚 growth
💜 color, chaos, and joy
💚 a fresh start
💜 a place to pour my heart into color, design, and joy 🌸 making things that make people SMILE!
🌸 and a reminder that endings can quietly become beginnings
This didn’t start in a big, planned, or confident way. There was no real business plan, no marketing plan, I had no idea what I was doing, and had to research and learn everything myself.. from finding the right shirts, figuring out how to create designs, how to order prints, how to do, graphic design and social media, how to find the right suppliers, packaging, supplies, every little thing that goes into a business that you don’t have any idea about until you have to figure it out.. and to this day, one of the biggest challenges of my life, designing a website.
I never imagined I would end up here. So many designs. So many new ideas, products, skills learned, so many late nights, so many sleeess nights full of anxiety and worry . So many happy packages. So many moments shared with all of you who believed in this little dream.
This milestone means more than words can say…
because it represents growth, resilience, and a whole lot of heart.
Three years later, I still can’t believe I am running my own business..all created from a place I once felt unsure and lost.
So today isn’t just a celebration of a business.
It’s a reminder that even when one chapter ends, something new can still be written—in its own time.
Thank you to every person who believed in me, shared my business, ordered, cheered me on, and kept coming back!
