How Lit & Lovely Began: A Bookish Love Story (with Stickers)

🤓 Behind the Scenes: How I Started Lit & Lovely (aka My Bookish Brainchild)

Spoiler alert: I didn’t grow up dreaming of running a bookish shop. I grew up dreaming of living in a bookstore. (Still working on that.) But somewhere between falling in love with fictional characters and hoarding bookmarks like they’re rare gems, the idea for Lit & Lovely came to life.

📚 A Bookish Beginning

Like a lot of book lovers, I’ve always been the type to say “just one more chapter” and suddenly it’s 2 a.m. I’m a sucker for a good plot twist, a cozy reading nook, and cute bookish things that make my shelves—and soul—happy.

Eventually, I realized: if I was always hunting for little literary treasures, maybe other readers were too. So I started curating products that I knew fellow bookworms would adore. (Because if I want it, surely someone else does too, right?)

✨ What Lit & Lovely Is All About

Lit & Lovely is my little corner of the internet where aesthetic meets obsession—in the best way. I handpick every item in the shop with one question in mind: Would this make a reader smile?

That includes:

  • Stickers that get your TBR heart racing

  • Bookmarks you’ll definitely forget in three books

  • Sticky notes to remind you of your 57 open storylines

  • And a growing selection of goodies to decorate your bookish life

🛍️ The Hustle (with a Side of Panic)

Starting a shop with no background in business, design, or wizardry was… a journey. There was Googling. There was crying. There was caffeine. But also? There was a spark. The kind you get when you know you’re creating something fun and real.

And now? You’re here. Reading this. Maybe shopping. Maybe lurking. Either way, I see you—and I appreciate you.

💖 So, Why Lit & Lovely?

Because books make life better. And I believe the little things—the sticker that makes you giggle, the bookmark that feels so you, the perfect gift for your reader friend—can bring a lot of joy.

So take a look around. Stay a while. Let’s make our shelves, desks, and lives a little more Lit & Lovely.
