Happy Monday friends! I hope that you had a wonderful weekend! It was a busy, fun and FULL weekend with some amazing adventures (including traveling to New Jersey for a TPT Live event!). I can't wait to share more soon but y'all... it was AMAZING. I hope that each of you had an amazing weekend as well!
Today I am excited to share the top 5 items that y'all have loved the most from the Caravan Sonnet Shoppe for the month of March! March was a bit slower in the shop and that has been typical for my shop for the last couple of years.
Thank you for ALL the sweet reviews, the love, and the support of this space and shop!! I am SO excited to share SO many new things coming in the weeks ahead!!!
I hope that if you are interested in shop statistics, how it looks to really grow a TPT shop, or just any entrepreneurial business that this information is incredibly helpful and encouraging for you! Over the last 12 years of building Caravan Sonnet blog and brand, December Caravan Etsy Shop, and this TPT store the one thing I can definitely say is that things take time. Keep pushing ahead and keep planting the seeds... it is worth it!
