Celebrated yesterday with this cute pumpkin cake that my partner made 🥹 a toasted pumpkin seed sponge, spiced with cinnamon, orange and nutmeg and an orange flavoured cream cheese frosting. It was divine. He stuck a tomato stalk in the top for decoration (we didn’t eat that)
As you all know, I was mega nervous in the build up to the craft fair. Those nerves helped power me through the build up and today was so amazing.
I learned so much, I met some incredible people and I made some sales ❤️ would never have done this without your support, thank you
So I applied for an opportunity last week and have been invited into a meeting to discuss further. It's an opportunity that would develop Hello Pumpkin into something really exciting and I'm not sure I'm ready but am also very excited. Putting yourself out there is hard!
Be very gentle with yourselves. Christmas can be tough. Be mindful that not everyone is having a wonderful time and people might need extra love and support.
In the next few days we will be busy prepping for the New Year at Hello Pumpkin and getting ready to share with you!! 💛
Just been through to check the quality of all our new items of stock, to make sure we want to sell them and the good news is that everything is perfect 😭❤️
Get ready for dinosaur and mushroom lamps, teapots for 1, cute owl and fox themed planters and other goodies! In love
This little polymer clay gnome with faux knitted hat is going to be available to buy as a little Christmas pal when our store launches later this month 🥰 look how cute
As our founder
@pigletish
is a mental health advocate, we are doing the super predictable thing and planning to introduce candles, blankets and other super comforting items into our store in the New Year 🥲
Tomorrow is our 1 year birthday ✨
A whole year of Hello Pumpkin. Really grateful for all the support ❤️ You're all a huge part of what makes this business so magical, very thankful.
Also, as a side note: we’re always looking for small artists to stock and commission, so if you’d like to collaborate with Hello Pumpkin, we’d absolutely LOVE to hear from you 🍓
Today was one of the absolute best days I’ve ever had. Honestly can’t wait for my next craft fair now. The makers were so lovely and a lot of them are at my next one 🩷 just meeting people from all walks of life who love to make art is so bloody awesome!
Wait, WHAT!!!!
Not only have we just hit our 81st order but it’s the biggest order we’ve ever had, I could honestly faint 🫠🥳 thank you so so much, you know who you are! ♥️
Energised by the success of yesterday, I’m applying for a stall at a really exciting event for next year. Can’t wait to share with you 🫶✨ please hope for me
You might have noticed we’ve slowed down a bit since New Year and that’s just to take some well earned time off to focus on family, our health and getting energised for the rest of 2024 for Hello Pumpkin 🥰
Grateful to all of you for being here and supporting us as we grow!
Considering getting a sunflower lanyard to wear at future events so that people can kind of twig why I might need to step away and that it’s a health/brain thing rather than me being disengaged
Omg some stock arrived from a smol business today and it exceeded my expectations - so cute I could actually cry 🥹
Look at this baby highland cow LOOK AT HIM 🥹😍😍
literally nobody has a 100% approval rating and it’s so easy to worry and worry about those people who don’t like us but it’s nice to remind yourself that there are people who do ❤️
We decided not to do wild Black Friday sales because we want you to want our products, not to impulse buy them. I know it’s impossible for any business to be 100% ethical but we can all try!
Happy Black Friday, remember it’s not a bargain if you didn’t want/need it! ♥️
Twice now in a week that my items have arrived with my customers absolutely smashed to bits, despite being carefully packaged, labelled as fragile and sent via a tracked service with
@RoyalMail
. Devastating as a small business during the Christmas period 😔
Coming in the new year:
✨ more craft kits
✨ dragons
✨ fairy doors
✨ book nooks
✨ fairy shelves
✨ night lights
✨ hedgehogs
✨ jewellery
&& more
I can’t wait!!
Boring achievement but the amount of people visiting my site has doubled this month and the length of time people are staying on the site has more than tripled! 😭🥂
When I started Hello Pumpkin I was in such a bad place and what I wanted from it was for it to be an overnight success so that I could have financial freedom, independence and the ability to pay my bills while doing what I love.
I didn’t get that. Not yet. But…
Oooooh…. We did sell one of our beautiful frog plushies to the nicest person today. That was such a plus actually 🩷 there were a few moments in the day that really stand out as cute and wholesome and they were definitely one of them!
omg
my loves
I have had 8 orders already 😭
I was just telling my partner this morning “I am not sure if I’ll get any orders until after Christmas now but I am excited to launch anyway” 🥹
Our frog pond trinket trays are now live 🥹 sorry everything has taken so long to sort out. I have family health issues and my own atm and it’s been tough and unexpected ❤️ thank you all for supporting the business!
Absolutely THRILLED to show off our new business logo (dreamed by
@pigletish
, created by the FABULOUS
@lunafaeart
) 🍄 🎃 🌸
I hope that you are ALL having an incredible bank holiday weekend and that you feel the magic in it ✨
It’s finally here. After years (and I mean years) of trying to find the “right time” we’ve decided to just go for it and put ourselves out there. So there we have it. 01/10 will be out official launch date. See you there ✨
Those of you who frequent craft fairs, vintage fairs and local markets
Are you more likely to buy something from a stall if they are able to offer card payments?
I’m actually so bloody chuffed that we haven’t even launched yet and we already have a little community 💗 thrilled to bits!
We’re an independent biz and we’ll be selling cottagecore + fairycore homeware and garden products. We just wanna bring a little magic into the world 🌝
on our first day of business (which also happens to be my name day)
✨ launched at 11:11
⚡️ first order at 11:11 🤯
🌼 11 orders so far
🌻 confirmed artist collaboration
🌝 feeling very proud
AND…
❄️ it is SNOWING 💛
Thinking of adding a "dopamine decor" section on our website, which will contain our happiest and most colourful items. Would this be something you'd like?
Hey gang,
It’s
@pigletish
here. Just thought I’d say a quick hello and thank you for following 🧡
I’m hoping 🤞 to launch my shop in October (although just building up the stock)
Expect to see textured 3D art, cottagecore home decor and fairytale vibes. Can’t wait 👏✨
Just want to remind people to check their packaging, as we always send out freebies - usually stickers but sometimes print, decorations and other bonus goodies!
Looking to put a list together of bloggers, tiktokers and twitterers who would be willing to work with us in the new year on ad campaigns to promote our small business.
It’s not about follower size/DA for us but that you fit with our brand and that our brand fits with you. ❤️
Our goal is to hit 100 orders before the end of our first year trading. We're currently on 74 with 42 days to go. I'm not sure we're going to make it honestly but I'm proud of how hard we've worked so far.
When I (
@pigletish
) started Hello Pumpkin, I had a specific type of product in mind that I hoped to create and it looks like I’m going to finally be able to do that this year and I cannot WAIT to get to share them with you.
Taking the pressure off and launching in 2022 🧡 it means missing some Christmas revenue this year but it also means giving myself (
@pigletish
) some time to breathe and do things in the way that feels right to me. Also means moving house will be out the way 😘
OK so our targets for 2024:
We'd like to get to 2k followers here on Twitter and 500 on Tiktok (thank you for being here and helping us with this)
Our order goal is 200 for the year - bringing us to 300 by the end of our second year of trading - which is December 9th. Doable?
I had planned to make advent calendars by this Christmas but the design process is more in-depth than I had thought.
Hoping this time next year (well hopefully a TINY bit earlier lol) I’ll have some to share with you!!!
