Our next small business we are highlight is @macetas_by_victoria 🌱🌸

She was kind enough to send us background about her business 😊:

When Covid 19 made it to the US, my campus shut down, I was forced to become an online student and quickly discovered I was not an online learner and had to make the difficult decision to put my education on hold. I had no choice but to move back to mom's house. 
September 6th, 2020 was the launch of my business. I never had the intention of starting a business, I just fell into it. During the summer my auntie (owner of Cabrona Coffee) invited me to the Westwood market. I was very excited to attend my first market but I had two days to make pots. I remember spending all day working on pots to make sure I looked legit when potential customers came to look at my products. The day of the market I came with my 18 pots with no succulents in them. I was prepared with low expectations that my pots would not sell, and to my surprise almost all of my pots sold by the end of the day. After my exciting day I remember going home and immediately making more pots for the next market. My pots continued to sell every market day, so I thought of ways I could get better at making pots. I made new shapes, painted them and added succulents, and my business took off even more. After the market season was over I was asked by the owner of Cultura Chocolate if I was interested in having a space in her shop to sell my pots. Being a Chicana artist has been an amazing experience and a blessing. I’ve met many artists and small business owners. I love being in the Latinx artist community because we support one another and all want each other to succeed. When starting my business a year ago I was embraced with nothing but support and opportunities to grow. Follow me on instagram for new macetas creations and events I attend. You can also order by directly messaging me through Instagram.  @Macetas_By_Vicotria
