Today is October 1st, which means it’s officially been 11 months since Smart Red Elephant was born!! 🐘💕 Looking back, I’ve done so many markets and tried so many new things this year. I honestly feel like this has been the year I’ve grown the most. From being too scared to talk to customers at my very first market in February, to now confidently travelling around to different markets, reaching out to shops for collaborations, and finding venues to host my own workshops… there has always been a mix of fear and excitement along the way. Two years ago, I came to London as a little girl with a dream. And now, I have my own space in a shop in London, my own little community, and people who genuinely support what I create. I’m incredibly grateful to every single person who has supported Smart Red Elephant along the way. You’ve reminded me that sometimes, all you need is a little courage to start turning your dreams into reality. And this is only the beginning. 💗 Smart Red Elephant is going to bring you even more new ideas, experiments and creations. Not just in the UK, throughout the journey ahead, I hope my little brand can reach people all around the world. 🌍✨ I’m also working on a longer video where I’ll share my journey of starting this little business, from how I started, what I’ve learned, the challenges I’ve faced, and what it’s really been like building something of my own. If you’re thinking about starting your own small business, I hope my experience can give you a little inspiration and courage. Let’s keep working hard, growing, and chasing our dreams together! 🫶🏻 My ultimate dream is to make the whole world a little cuter. 🎀🐘✨ #handmade #craft #market #SmallBusiness #kawaii
