#27. Welcome to Boutique of Moments

The adventure begins…

“A dream: to live from my creations.”

That’s what I wrote on my website a few years ago, when I was beginning, shyly yet with conviction, to share my creations. That dream, although still in progress, has always guided me.

Screenshot of my current website biography – “A dream: to live from my creations”: these words, written a few years ago, marked the beginning of a path guided by passion and conviction.

Today, I am not yet living from my creations, but I am taking an essential step toward that ambition: the official launch of my online shop.

“Boutique de Moments” (Boutique of Moments) is the name I chose a few months ago. I imagined this new space as a bridge between my inspirations (travels, life moments, emotions) and objects designed to accompany everyday life.

I hope to offer a harmonious blend of usefulness and poetry: creations that beautify spaces, help organize, encourage writing, invite pause, or simply bring a little more softness into daily routines.

This launch is, for me, a symbolic milestone, a concrete beginning, and I’m excited to see where this path will lead.

The challenges

The journey to get here has not been simple. It has been filled with doubts, technical trial and error, and administrative steps that were sometimes discouraging. Creating an online shop (even if it may seem more accessible than a physical store) means juggling many aspects: shipping logistics, taxes, returns, foreign currencies, packaging, choosing the right papers and inks, translations, marketing… and more.

All of this, combined with a tendency to procrastinate when things became complicated and the fact that I manage everything on my own, naturally slowed the development of the shop.

But despite the obstacles, the desire to move forward has always been there. The motivation to create a space (even a virtual one) where I can experiment, share, and gradually build something sustainable has prevailed.

I know it will take time before my investments fully bear fruit, but having finally launched this shop and feeling aligned with my dream is both exciting and deeply motivating.

While waiting for takeoff 😊

While this adventure gains momentum, here’s what you can already discover at Boutique de Moments:

🖼️ Art prints

To beautify your spaces, you’ll find lovely art prints in A5, A4, and A3 formats. For now, I’m focusing on reproductions of my original artworks, as I’m not yet certain about the best way to package and preserve originals (paintings, papers, etc.). I’ve chosen a printing method that guarantees high quality and durability. Three collections are already available, and more will gradually enrich the shop with new visuals and perhaps even new types of products.

Create to reconnect with what truly matters. This section of Boutique de Moments reflects the intention behind each creation: to bring softness, serenity, and a touch of poetry into everyday life through illustrations inspired by nature and travel.

✍️ The “MOMENTOS” blog

It is an integral part of my universe. I haven’t yet had the time to transfer all my articles to the new site, but it’s a priority. Bringing them together here will also allow automatic translation (first into French and Spanish), making them accessible to a wider audience. This blog will remain a space for sharing my travels, inspirations, and personal reflections.

📦 Thoughtful and sustainable packaging

Your orders will be shipped in beautiful, freshly printed rigid envelopes. I make it a priority to choose durable materials for shipping. The only aspect still under consideration is the use of plastic sleeves to protect prints from rain during transport. If you know of more eco-friendly yet equally effective alternatives, I would love your suggestions in the comments!

Thank you and see you soon 💛

A huge thank you to you for taking the time to read, follow, or simply discover Boutique de Moments. This project means so much to me, and every visit, every word, every share truly matters.

Since I manage everything myself (from the website to creation to shipping), there may be a few small bugs or slowdowns at the beginning. Thank you in advance for your patience and kindness in case of imperfections: I will always do my best to improve the experience.

Feel free to share your thoughts, ideas, or leave a little note. I always love hearing from you. 🌿

See you very soon for the next chapter of this beautiful adventure!
