Couple of weeks ago I finally launched the store, I was working on for a couple of months now. From building the website and production to marketing and accounting, I had to do it all on my own. I actually started working on it during covid but never had time to finish it until recently. I hope you like it :)

Give me a like and follow and any of my social media pages - it really helps a lot.

There is a giveaway hapenning on the IG as well, if you are interested!

Hey have a chat with the lady from Very Ugly Plates; maybe something can happen together.

I actually set up a community for her to use if she wants to start sharing her work on lemmy: Very Ugly Plates

Feel free to share there just in case.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

Thanks for letting me know - I will have a nosy. I'm just not sure if I should, because it's about her business and all.

That's no way to refer to Scottish people now.

Hey, ya ship to the States by chance? I got a boss from Kent and a few of your mugs feature his favorite word.

I don't offer it on my store because I wanted to focus primarily on UK for now and the shipping costs are pretty high (starting at £12) but if you guys are interested let me know and sure we can sort something out 😃

Speaking as one half of a small business that thought "surely nobody will pay that much for shipping", honestly just do it. As long as it's clear and up front how much they're paying, a lot of folks are used to the shipping prices and won't bat an eye. The process is pretty easy as well (assuming Royal Mail).

Follow me on IG - I'm working on the US delivery option atm, I will announce it there when it's ready :)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Thanks I will look into it right now!

If they start to get any sort of volume, it would probably be fairly easy to partner with a US based printer as well. It's not like these products are particularly unique beyond the artwork.

"yer da sells Avon". I would absolutely buy this in a heartbeat if it were available in the US. Real good stuff!

Canadian registering their interest here! My Scottish mother in law would be really tickled by some of these! 😁

Do you have Instagram? Follow me there - I will be adding US, EU and CA shipping in the next couple of days!

Thank you for your interest :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

I don't use IG at all unfortunately, but I'll watch the site and hope the international shipping works out for you! There's nothing an ex-pat loves more than a solid reminder of home!
