Merch, Dreams, and a Dash of Zest: What’s Cooking at Zestful Productions?
Let me tell you a story that starts with a text, a dream, and a bedspread. Yes, you read that right—a bedspread.
It was sometime this summer. I was buried in edits for my second book, Oliver the Owl: A Sweet Season. My creative brain was firing on all cylinders (and fueled by an impressive amount of caffeine). My phone buzzed with a message from a friend. Her text? Pure magic. She said,
“I had a dream about you last night! I was shopping in a big box store, and in the bedspread section, I saw YOUR brand on a tag! Of course, I snapped a picture of it (dream her is so thoughtful), and I couldn’t wait to tell you how awesome it was that you were taking your brand into the housewares business!”
First of all, shopping dreams are amazing! Second, can we talk about how inspiring it is to have friends who not only root for your success but also dream it into existence? My reply was something like, “Okay, wow! I’m calling this foreshadowing!”
At the time, I was laser-focused on my book release, but I promised her that merch was next on my list. And guess what? It’s happening! Zestful Productions is officially expanding into foodie-inspired merchandise, and you can find it all in my Etsy shop: Zestful Productions.
Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Merch? Like aprons and mugs?” Oh, it’s so much more than that. My designs are a little whimsical, a little quirky, and a whole lot of fun. I’ve poured the same creativity and love into these items as I do into my books. Think kitchen towels that make you smile, tote bags that make a statement, and gifts that are as unique as your favorite foodie friend.
And while not everyone is ready to deck out their home with culinary-themed decor (though you should be), I promise these designs bring the perfect touch of personality to any space.
And here’s the best part: new items are added daily! Whether it’s a fresh design, a seasonal treat, or something entirely unexpected, my brain is always dreaming up something new. Be sure to bookmark the shop and give it a follow so you don’t miss any of the fun. If you’re on Etsy, hit that little heart icon❤️to like the shop—that will ensure you’ll always see what’s new.
But wait, there’s more! (LOL, I’ve always wanted to say that!) I also offer custom designs. Want something truly one-of-a-kind? Let me work my graphic design magic to bring your ideas to life. From personalized gifts to fun household items, the possibilities are endless.
So, while my big box bedspread moment is still just a dream (I love it, friend!), the journey has started right here. Head over to Etsy to see what’s cooking. Who knows? Maybe someday that dream will be reality!
