I have an Etsy as well, and I’ve found that it’s easier to change your shipping times to farther out. 2 weeks instead of like 1-5 days would make it easier to batch all your orders at once. That way you could keep the shop open and have the extra income, instead of doing the orders everyday after work. I totally understand wanting to close your shop, but I just thought I’d give the suggestion, love your videos! 🥰

[@cupsandthoughts]

that is such a wonderful idea, i don’t know why i never thought of this! thank you so much, i’ll give this a go and see how my workload changes :) ahh i’m so excited!! thank you for the suggestion 🥰🥰 and thank you for the support! 🥹🤍

[@wendyhoward2699]

[@cupsandthoughts]

thank you! i’m glad you like it 🥰

The vlog was super beautiful to watch ❤

[@Sarah_Mey97]

Thank you so much for this video. You have no idea how much these mean to me! ❤

[@emilystevenson1831]

The editing at the beginning of this video took my breath away - you are SO talented! I love this

[@cupsandthoughts]

oh my goodness thank you!!! you are so kind, i’m so glad you liked the beginning of the video hehe 🥹🤍

[@kalenclark]

This video made me sleepy in the best way. :)

[@cupsandthoughts]

ahh i’m so happy to hear that 🥰

[@GWYNPL4INE]

I now live for those videos 💐🌞 I've been wanting to order from your etsy for a bit now but i guess i better do it quick if you're thinking of closing shop ! I will get to it asap. In the future, if the shop still brings you joy but is a bit difficult to juggle with a full time job, maybe you could do limited drops a few times a year ? It would take up less of your time and still allow you to partake into that little pleasure of running a shop 😊Just an idea ! I am also very happy you are considering making a video about your annotating. Your annotated books look magical an i've always been very curious about your system and all. Can't wait ! 🌼

[@cupsandthoughts]

ahhh thank youuu for being here! 🥹🤍 aww please don’t feel pressured to order from my shop! thank you for wanting to support though, it means a lot to me!! 😭🤍 doing limited drops is such a great idea!! it’ll lessen my load and still allow me to pack orders for those who genuinely like my stickers 🥰 thank you for the lovely idea! 🤍 and yesss, i’m so excited to make the annotating video! i’m so glad you’ve been enjoying the annotations hehe 🥹 thank you lovely! 🥰🥰

[@wendyhoward2699]

You are amazing! I wish you would do a video on how you annotate. Blessings.

[@ExLibris-Alys]

I absolutely LOVE the click clack sound your new keyboard keys make. I love the other rainbow one as well, it’s mesmerising 😍. Do you mind if I ask what you do with your books once you’ve read and annotated them? I can’t imagine that you have the room to keep them all?

[@cupsandthoughts]

i’m so glad you like them hehe 🥰 not at all! i do indeed keep them! :’) when i start running out of space, i will unhaul some books to make some room for the newly annotatated books that i want to keep. i don’t annotate all my books, and i can also unhaul books that i’ve annotated! so it just really depends ☺️

[@cassiopeia347]

I love your channel so much!! 💙💚

[@cupsandthoughts]

thank you so much!! 😭🤍✨

[@qianliow4421]

ah dearest cath! while i hope that your shop doesn't have to close, i understand when you need it. if that time comes, ill definitely buy lots HAHA but still ever, i love your vlogs and you are one of my favorite creators to watch and its so lovely just watching it and immersing into your world of simple living ❤❤ all the best for your full time and don't forget to always stay happy ☺️☺️ XX

[@cupsandthoughts]

dearest qian!! thank you so much for the immense support 😭🤍🤍 i’ve been really thinking it through and love running a small business on the side. closing it down is definitely just a consideration, but i will do my best to keep it running because i would really miss it too! 🥺 i love your enthusiasm, thank you for all the love 😭✨🥹 you are a gem. i hope you’re doing well!! 🥺🤍

[@pattibrotz3684]

Your wax seals you do on your orders inspired me to buy a kit! Thanks!

[@cupsandthoughts]

oooooh yayy! they’re sooo much fun, i have quite a collection and love using it for snail mail too 😍✨

[@yourlocalgollum]

I lowkey forgot that it's winter in Australia so I got confused with the july spread being autumn themed 😭

hahaha it’s definitely super confusing 😅😅

another wonderful and lovely video to add into the collection of delights. thankyou so much on sharing these glimpses and your thoughts. working full time and managing youtube and your shop- all seems to get a little hectic but I can see you are enjoying yourself to the fullest while doing so and yes adulting seems like taking new decisions and making changes- I will be moving out soon for my college with my sister, so I think I get a little of what you are feeling too. hope in this cycle of working and working, you are taking care of yourself, take a break and read cozily whenever you feel low or tired and I will wait for your videos always

[@cupsandthoughts]

[@_.eva_]

@@cupsandthoughts your reply made me happy so much!!! and yess I'm excited but anxious too as moving out seems overwhelming- you know the whole new city experience but I know I'll make it. also my yellowface and babel will be arriving soon like- end of july. im so excited- you loved them so... keep making this lovely content and I'm really glad to be a part of this safe community you created❤️❤️

[@cupsandthoughts]

@@_.eva_ i totally understand, but i just know you’ll be fine! :) it’s an amazing experience, and you’re stepping out of your comfort zone which is great! oooh i loved babel so so much! 🥹 i’ve yet to read yellowface but plan to pick it up veeery soon! thank you for being here 😭🤍 i’m so happy to be creating content for this lovely little community 🥺🤍✨

[@bellablack8308]

hi its good that you do what's best for you by closing the shop

[@cupsandthoughts]

thank you for understanding!! 🥺

[@kelly8833]

omg i love your videos and aesthetic so much and the way you package your orders is so beautiful with the wax seal and ink stamps, the torn out pages and the brown envelopes tied with string. also the book annotating content! also, where is your stamp set at 9:56 from?

[@cupsandthoughts]

you are so kind!! thank you :’)) hehe i love my packing routine and i’m glad you appreciate it 🥹🤍🤍 i think that was from a small business from wayyy back, and i don’t think they operate anymore unfortunately 😭😭 i’ll make sure to add in links if i find somethig similar in the future! :)

[@raqveel]

Omg this video was everything🤎 i was annotating while watching this and it felt so cozy. I love your videos, your vibes, and i cant believe how many things i have in common with the things you show daily, and (ignore this) but I feel the stupid need to ask you to be friends 😭🥺

[@cupsandthoughts]

ahhh thank youuu! that sounds sooo cozy 🤩☁️✨ hehe i’m so happy to hear that! i know the feeling of finding out how much in common you have with a stranger online 🥹 and absolutely yes we can be friends! 😭✨🤍
