Mostyn's Oddbins: A quirky Etsy shop co-founded with my daughter, where we sold 60,000 “502” stickers, learned business, and survived a lawsuit from the Care Bears.
Mostyn’s Oddbins was born from a quirky dream and a 13-year-old’s curiosity about business. Co-founded with my daughter Ella, our Etsy adventure dove into the vibrant world of pop culture and Louisville pride, crafting unique “502” stickers that captured the spirit of our city. Ella, a budding graphic designer, mastered the arts of customer service and business economics, bringing her youthful zest to every design and customer interaction. We navigated the whimsical highs of fulfilling over 60,000 orders and the unexpected lows—like being sued by the Care Bears! Each sticker not only added color to our lives but also stitched unforgettable lessons into the fabric of our father-daughter bond. Through it all, Mostyn’s Oddbins was more than a store; it was a playground of creativity and learning, where business met fun and legal battles became life lessons.
