Progress Pic, From When I started Depop 9 months ago to Now

I wanted to do something like this where I review all my photos and how I improved, but...then I noticed on Reddit/ Depop that people were doing progress pics. It's been since March when I dived full on into my secondhand bookshop, so here one of my first photos to my most recent.

Then...

Now...

For the first photo I used the window and some white terry cloth. The second is a moss sheet, something you'd display at weddings or decorations. I like it since I want Hyla Brook Books to have an earthy feel.

I really miss taking photos like this. I can't decide if I love the yellow brick, wood, or peeled painted wood backdrop more.

And here's the yellow brick:

Which backdrop do you think is the best?

Maas = $7.50 Y2k denim overbust shrug / bolero asymmetrical = $40.25 $79.82 - $4.25 COG = $75.57 These are the kind of weeks I like as a hobbiest/ side hustle. $80-$200 a week is preferable. But there's a LOT of work into reselling, you should set your goals higher. $100 a day.
