OUR STORY
Welcome friends,
Three Black Cats came to fruition during Covid. It was my mission to find a way to bring some joy not only back into my life, but into the lives of others and those around me that were finding it difficult to smile while our country was going through a terrible pandemic and political challenges.
There’s a saying out there that if you weren’t laughing you’d be crying and that couldn’t be more fitting for how I got my start.
I decided to reopen an Etsy shop that I had had years ago and start a new brand that would be built around the idea of bringing some laughter, joy, and a creative outlet back into my everyday routine. The brand showcases my colorful personality through various products that are diverse enough so that there is a little something for everyone. I brought the snark and the sweet and found my people. And found myself again in the process.
When you run your own small business, not everyday is a smooth road and everyday has come with its new set of challenges. Some days the simplest of tasks can become the ones that have you the most on edge. Late shipments, international shipping, damages, the product fails, feeling too old to understand social media, clumsiness, working multiple jobs at all times… I could go on and on with some of the obstacles that we face daily, but I always try to look at any obstacle/challenge as an opportunity to do better.
And that is what I have learned to do. The biggest opportunity currently is how much we have grown in the past year. We just celebrated 10k sales this year and it still seems surreal. I can still remember the early days of being shocked just to get one order a week and now they come in daily. I am so grateful for the loyal following that we have-“our cult” as some will refer to themselves as on our Facebook or Instagram pages. I truly could not have done all of this without them.
I’m surrounded by a strong community of other women run small businesses and we energize each other with our daily snarky banter and support each other when we need it. I have built more than just a shop/brand, I started a community of sincere, strong, edgy- sometimes profane and incredibly talented people who we want to bring some laughter and joy to whenever we can.
Three Black Cats designs and creates products for every occasion with a snarky twist. I enjoy finding and bringing humor to things we all experience on a daily and showcase them in various product formats.
I work with a variety of products; teacups, hand towels, mugs, journals, bathroom accessories, stickers and more. I also provide custom designs and personalization. There is no limit to the sarcasm or use of puns.
The goal and where I find my happiness is in leaving a lasting impression. To create something that is special enough to get a reaction or share it with a friend. Something that will make you laugh, cry or just shake your head.
