The Voice of the Studio
Persephone Grace
A little story about how this all began.
TL;DR
Burnt out from corporate life, I took a trip to the Netherlands, reconnected with my creativity, and bought a $7 product that changed my life. Now I run an Etsy shop, write this blog, and create cozy little corners for wild, curious minds like yours.
You’re welcome here — exactly as you are.
🪞 This Story Starts Long Before I Took Action
Where it all began - more paper than plans, more heart than strategy.
I’ve been restless since the height of COVID - disillusioned with the corporate world, unsure how to carve out a different path. I'd bought a few digital courses over the years (you know the kind -"launch your dream life in 30 days"). None of them were mistakes. I don’t believe any learning is ever wasted. But they did gather digital dust.
The shift didn’t come from a webinar. It came from a plane ticket.
In 2024, I went to the Netherlands - my first trip out of the country. A photography class took me into mossy woods and quiet streets. I wandered, notebook in hand, and something cracked open. The world felt connected. I felt like a piece of it again. When I came home, people said I seemed changed. They were right.
Then one December day, I saw a $7 offer from an Australian woman who said she could help you launch an Etsy shop. I’d fallen for promises before… but something nudged me to try again.
I bought it. I upgraded to the $27 version a few weeks later. And then I made something.
Now, I run PersephoneGracePaper.etsy.com, and this blog - From the Desk of Persephone Grace - launched in September 2025.
💌 Why I’m Here
This site is a creative sanctuary.
A space to start messy.
To follow sparks.
To wander in the woods of your own making.
If you’ve ever thought “I’m not creative” or “I wouldn’t know where to begin,” - I want to show you that you can begin exactly where you are. That a $7 product, a burnout, and a quiet morning can change everything.
This isn't just a store. It's a studio
What I Create

Here you’ll find:
