Lili Chin is a phenomenal artist! Please support her and other small businesses by purchasing from them this holiday season and beyond.
On this #smallbusinessSaturday (and on any other day!) thank you for buying from artists! For those who don't know, I am a one-person business. I design the products, create the custom art, print, pack, and ship everything myself.
