at the shop

I love the days where our orders come all in one day. It feels like Christmas! 
I cannot wait for the holiday season!! 
Buying is definitely one of my favorite parts of owning a boutique. It can be a tad stressful too, because what if we love the product but our customers don't feel the same way?! It's happened a few times, but luckily not too often. 
We try to pick out products that we love and fits into two categories: original and awesome. 

You can follow my shop The Felt Bird on twitter and facebook

  3. It really DOES feel like Christmas when everything comes on the same day!

    What happens with the stuff that doesn't sell well? Do you just put it on clearance? Sometimes I'm baffled by what customers love and what they're only "meh" about. Like, I started making veils on a whim and they sell like gangbusters. I totally don't get it.

    1. If it doesn't sell we put it on clearance or we'll give it away during one of our events.

  9. How fun it must be to open all those boxes with goodies inside! I think I would probably agonize over what to order, but opening the boxes and stocking the shelves with pretty things sounds like fun to me! :)
