I love Heart Street. The items in this shop are gorgeous.
The owner of the shop, Dan, mainly sells beautiful and handy keychain wallets, but there are also cards, pencil cases and coin purses.
For each item Dan uses beautiful fabrics. The combination of the fabrics makes the products stand out even more.
I asked Dan couple of questions, so you can find out more about the amazing Heart Street.
When and how did your Etsy adventure start?
I opened my Etsy shop a year ago... and just passed the 1 year old
birthday on 27th, this month. It's also my birthday :). One year ago, it
was because of my upcoming birthday, my husband bought me a sewing
machine as a gift. Then I started to sew different lovely things,
and just can't stop :). I learned sewing by myself, and little by little I
started to create something like card holders and gave some to my
friends. One day a friend said I really should open an Etsy shop and
sell my works, then I just took that advice, and here I am!
What inspires you?
Before I opened this shop, I never thought one day I could really make
this dream come true. But for a long time in my life I have loved crafts and I
have this addiction to papers, stationary, and small lovely girly
things etc. etc.... I can spend hours in craft stores, looking at
those craft tools and materials, I have visions in my head, that how I
can use this things to create something fun. I can't clearly explain
where my inspirations come from, but maybe it's just because I enjoy spending
time with those artistic things. I feel inspired when playing with
different materials, or when watching the work of others. Sewing just
expands my craft area, and now with different fabrics I can create more
things, and it's a great feeling when I know people like my handmade
works :).
What did your first year on Etsy look like?
My first year was good enough for me. I didn't expect I could have over
250 sales in the first year, and when I made it, the happiness was
beyond words :). Actually when everything started, I didn't plan something
big. I usually don't have a long term plan for my shop... just stage by
stage... When I have a new design on hand, I may keep working on that
project for quite a few weeks, then see how the market responses, then
move on with new ideas. Sure my ideas were not all good... but I learned a
lot from those experiences :).
What are your plans for the future?
The future is always uncertain... and it's the reason why it's so charming.
I just want to keep running this shop and enjoy my little wonderful
craft life~~ doing craft is something very ME, and I feel lucky that I
can do things I really love :).
I bought something from Heart Street and love it, I got an autumn themed keychain wallet. The fabrics are amazing and the handwork is great and very precise, it's really pretty! The delivery was quick and everything was wrapped in lovely tissue paper. I'm very happy with my purchase.
I highly recommend this shop and the customer service from this friendly and helpful seller is very good.
