Visit the Shop! Meet Little Mo & Friends About the Artist

Off to the shop we go…

This weekend I finished up a crate of Little Mo goodies, ready to be delivered to the Montage Pop-Up Shop. I’m so excited, 3 more days to go!

I also spent a few hours cutting up price tags from old card stock for my Little Mo jewellery…only to realise that I could have bought ready made tags at Officeworks!

I think I’m satisfied with my overall packaging, it looks minimal and natural like how I want it to be. But maybe you can let me know your feedback, do you think it works with my art?

I find that it can be a challenge trying to run my business as environmentally friendly as possible. Whilst I’m passionate about the cause, I’m also limited to the choice of materials that I can use for my stationery and gift range. Usually I have to think twice before introducing a new product in my shop. I have to find the right materials to use, preferably sustainable and recycled. When it comes to packaging, I also have to avoid fancy packaging, plastics and extra paper materials.

In saying that, this has led me to hoarding a nice collection of stamps! They’ve proven to be my best friends for all my eco packaging needs, particularly my Little Mo shop orders. Some of these stamps were bought at flea markets, holidays trips or given to me by lovely friends from snail mail packages. I love each and every stamp!

    Read the post above about your friend in the plane crash. Awful, and I will keep her in my thoughts!

    I have the same challenges in my shop. I’m always trying to find ways to be more eco-friendly. Right now, that means focusing on the paper I use to print my write-fold-mail stationery sets, and the paper and materials I use for shipping. I found some great bamboo paper that is supposed to be 100% sustainable, but it isn’t always in stock, and costs double the regular paper. Sigh…
