I did guys, I really did it. I did something that I have dreamt of doing since I was a little girl. I know that sounds dramatic and cliche but really... I actually met up with a very old friend a couple of weeks ago and as I burst with the excitement of my business plans (probably on an annoying level) she told me, "This was always going to be what you did Jenna." And MAN that was just the reassurance I needed that I was on the right path, having one of my very best friends since I was in middle school tell me I was falling into my fate.
I opened a shop, I curated a collection of all sorts of pretty pieces you can purchase for your home to bring a finishing touch or to just make you smile every time you see it. I'm so happy that I've finally decided to follow my dream and create my own small store. I had initially thought about printing some catalogs using sites like Printivity. My friend even suggested that I consider trying to get more sales by using the internet to find more customers. My friend mentioned that I should really create a website for my store to make sure people can find it. Additionally, my friend suggested that I could contact an SEO agency to see if they could help me advance my business. Apparently, agencies like Victorious (https://victoriousseo.com/services/on-page-seo/) could help my website to have better keywords to ensure I'm ranking higher on search engines. This should encourage more people to visit my store and hopefully purchase some items. After my friend told me about SEO, I have been considering it ever since. I'll see how business goes for a while, and then I might look into it more.

I’m so interested in how you accomplished all of it! I love the part where you talk about your “why” for residential design and the shop being a place for pieces that can make a house a home. I would love to know more!
