Cynhumphrey Turns One

The Etsy shop of Cynhumphrey opened one year ago today. During the last year there were a lot of lessons learned and I know there are many more waiting for me. Overall the experience has been fun because of super customers and faithful supporters. For which, I am thankful for them all.

When friends and family finally persuaded me to open my own shop, I would have never dreamed that the experience would be so.... well.... interesting and challenging, to say the least. However, this experience has confirmed that I can function with little sleep, I can successfully think outside of the box, and I've figured out that challenges motivate me. Not only that, but look at me now! I've started a blog! Who would have guessed?

The Cynhumphrey shop is still a work in progress, that I know. I'm looking forward to seeing the shop grow during the next year and can't wait to see what my post will look like this time next year. However, for the moment, I'll try to keep my feet on the ground and will add these "fun facts" as a base to measure my growth. Now keep in mind, I'm not sure how these facts measure up to "successful" shops but I've had fun getting this far and that's all that matters to me! I choose to look at the glass as half full.

So, without further ado, here are my stats for the last year.

  • 8,688 shop views
  • 5,054 favorites 
  • 38 orders (from Etsy, not counting friends and family)
  • 100% positive feedback from customers
  • my items have been featured in 126 treasuries
  • I'm in 128 circles
  • member of many Etsy teams, and actually a captain of one
So, what do you think? How did I do???
