We used to paint and stencil upscale homes in NY metropolitan area. And in 2008 we decided to open a stencil store and start selling to everyone online.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What inspires you to create your pieces?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Most of my inspiration comes from nature and my garden. I also draw lots of inspiration from historic sources such as architecture, pottery, tiles and textiles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How has ShipStation helped your business?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Shipstation really transformed our whole order fulfilling process! We used the Paypal system before and it was so slow and unsophisticated, and it literally took hours and hours to print the shipping labels. With Shipstation it all miraculously changed, the time savings are amazing and I only wish we have found you guys earlier :) it is so easy to use, very intuitive and well-thought out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your favorite ShipStation feature?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our favorite feature is Automation, it\u2019s such a time-saver! We love creating custom rules so there is less and less info to enter for the person printing the labels.<\/p>\n<p><!--HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><span class=\"hs-cta-wrapper\" id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-312920d4-9b42-4858-8dfa-808fbad1b1f7\"><span class=\"hs-cta-node hs-cta-312920d4-9b42-4858-8dfa-808fbad1b1f7\" id=\"hs-cta-312920d4-9b42-4858-8dfa-808fbad1b1f7\"><!--[if lte IE 8]>\n\n<div id=\"hs-cta-ie-element\"><\/div>\n\n<![endif]--><a href=\"https:\/\/cta-redirect.hubspot.com\/cta\/redirect\/1746827\/312920d4-9b42-4858-8dfa-808fbad1b1f7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"hs-cta-img\" id=\"hs-cta-img-312920d4-9b42-4858-8dfa-808fbad1b1f7\" style=\"border-width:0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/1746827\/312920d4-9b42-4858-8dfa-808fbad1b1f7.png\"  alt=\"Get organized and efficient with ShipStation the best online shipping platform for your ecommerce business.\"\/><\/a><\/span><script charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"https:\/\/js.hscta.net\/cta\/current.js\"><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> hbspt.cta.load(1746827, '312920d4-9b42-4858-8dfa-808fbad1b1f7', {}); <\/script><\/span><!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have awesome customers who sell fantastic products, and we love to spotlight them in our blog.
