To everyone who visited, purchased, shared our posts, recommended us, and simply appreciated our little shop. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 🤍
This dream started during my bazaar days, when I would set up small displays and share the things I loved creating and curating. Over time, that dream grew into a desire to open a physical shop, a cozy space filled with pretty things, thoughtful gifts, and handmade creations.
Some people truly loved our little shop. We were blessed with repeat customers who kept coming back, as well as people who shared our love for pretty things and meaningful finds.
I also want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our brand partners who trusted me with their products and allowed me to showcase their beautiful items in our store. Your trust and support meant so much to me, and I’m deeply grateful to have been part of your journey as well.
Every order, every visit, every tagged post, and every kind word meant more than you know.
After much thought, we have decided to pull out because the current setup and space rental are no longer sustainable for our business.
There were also challenges in the overall management and support structure. As merchants, we were consistently expected to meet our financial obligations, but at times we felt that the level of support and follow-through did not fully match what had initially been presented. This made it more difficult to navigate the realities of running a small business in the space.
Another challenge was the physical condition of our location. The shop received direct sunlight and became extremely hot in the afternoons. Over time, this affected some of our products, particularly our stickers, whose quality was compromised by the heat.
We also noticed that several merchants had already decided to pull out. As this happened, I became concerned that foot traffic would continue to decrease rather than grow, making it even harder for the remaining businesses to thrive.
Despite our best efforts, the location and operational conditions made it difficult to maintain the shop in a way that was financially healthy and aligned with what we originally envisioned.
While we are closing this physical location, we are not stopping. We are relocating back to Mandaluyong, and we will continue accepting non-rush customized orders, especially for our St. Monique customers.
What started as a dream became a reality because of your support. Although this chapter is coming to a close, I will always be grateful for the love and encouragement you gave to my small business.
You made this journey truly meaningful.
This may be the end of our little shop, but it is not the end of the dream.
Same dream. Wiser decisions. Moving differently now. 🤍
