Designed By Waterlily // Etsy Reopening Tour // Guest Post

Hi, sweet friends! I’m so excited for today’s post: a guest post by one of my wonderful YWW friends, Lily, about her Etsy shop that’s she’s reopening. She’s such an inspiration to me, and I’m so excited for you guys to hear her story. I hope you enjoy and are blessed by this post! 💛

Hello everyone! My name is Lily, and I’m the proud owner of Designed By WaterLily. I have run my own small business for over 2 ½ years, and I’m so blessed to have seen it grow and thrive! I started this shop when I was thirteen years old, dedicated to saving up so that one day I could sponsor a child through Compassion International. That day finally came on August 31, 2021, when I began sponsoring a five-year-old girl from Togo, Africa.

Back when I opened my shop in 2020, I began making handmade soaps, saving half of all my proceeds towards that cause. Over the years, I have improved my products, response time, shop design, and packaging so that I can serve my customers to the best of my ability. This season, I’m offering a limited-time summer soap collection with scents never before seen in my store—plus a few other perks that I hope you’ll check out.

Now, as my shop is reopening for the summer season, I need your help! My Etsy store is the main source of income I have currently to support my sponsored child. So if you would, please take a moment to share the link with someone who may be interested, or post about it on social media. Or if you’re so able, please consider purchasing an item from my shop.

Here’s the best part—I’m hosting a giveaway for the first time! You can win one of my cotton candy soaps (a listing that’s not currently available on my shop!) just by clicking a button. You can also earn more entries by sharing the link to my shop or personally referring a few friends! The giveaway is open through May 18th.

If you can’t do any of the things that I talked about above, that’s okay. The biggest support you could possibly give me is prayer—so please take a moment to pray for my sponsored child, and for the furthering of my shop for this cause. Thank you so much for all of your support!

If you’re interested, here is the link to my shop. And if you’d like to enter the giveaway, please fill out this form here. Thank you so much for reading, and God bless!
