We made it. Our first year.
One year ago today,
I received the keys to this shop.
And today,
we officially celebrate one full year in business.
What makes it even more meaningful is that, after this first year, we’re now getting ready to move into a bigger place.
Looking back, this journey really hasn’t been easy.
When I decided to leave a stable job and take the risk of starting my own business, not everyone believed in me.
Some people thought I was crazy.
Some asked why I would give up a stable job just to take the risk of opening a shop.
Some even told me,
“You won’t even last three months.”
There were also people waiting to see me fail, waiting for the day they could laugh and say, “I told you so.”
But the result?
We made it.
Not just three months.
A whole year.
This shop may be small, but it holds so many memories.
The good times, the difficult times, the stress, the struggles, and all those moments when giving up seemed like the easiest choice.
Throughout this year,
we learned through trial and error.
We made mistakes, took wrong turns, and learned things the hard way.
But at the same time, we learned so much, met so many wonderful people, and came across many who were willing to support us and believe in what we were building.
Most importantly, because of this little shop, I was given opportunities to step outside my comfort zone, see more of the world, meet people I would have never met otherwise, and experience things I once never thought I would.
So when I look back now, I’m actually grateful that I made that decision — the decision that many people thought was foolish and unrealistic.
Because if I had never taken that first step,
I might never have known how far I could actually go.
One year ago, we opened this door with nothing but a dream.
One year later, we’re taking everything we’ve built, everything we’ve learned, and all the memories we’ve made here — and walking through another door, one that’s much bigger.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey.
To everyone who supported us, visited the shop, bought something, joined our events, recommended us to others, or even simply walked through our doors just to have a look — thank you.
This little shop may only be the first chapter of our story.
And now…
Chapter One: Completed.
Next stop: Somewhere bigger.
The story isn’t over.
We’re just getting ready to start the next chapter.
