How VVS started

I started Victoriasvarieties on November 22, 2021, right in the middle of my 7th grade year. I was given a Silhouette Studio cutting machine the Christmas before from my parents. I started selling handmade stickers to my friends at school. This quickly grew to me putting vinyl on other things including glass cups, tote bags, and shirts. I had my very first pop up in a church gym about a year later. At this pop up I won an award for “Highest Business Potential”. Little did I know, pop ups would be the perfect way to sell my products. A few months after my first pop up, I decided to sign up for a summer farmers market. This market ran 8-12 every Saturday starting in the beginning of June and ending at the end of September. Between then and the next farmers market season, I decided to invest in Sublimation. Sublimation is an ink-based transfer which can go on glass, metal, fabric, and more. With this I made higher quality cups, bags and I could now make bulk orders of shirts for different organizations. I did another season of farmers markets in the summer of 2024, where I decided that my business needed something new. That new thing I needed was Permanent Jewelry. I still frequently set up booths at markets, but I often do private events and boutique set ups as well!
