The Prop Studio: A New Beginning
The Prop Studio began in 2023 as a simple solution to a growing passion. As a rare plant collector, I wanted to share the joy of nurturing unique plants with others while making the process of buying and selling as convenient as possible. Creating a website seemed like the natural next step, and The Prop Studio was born—a small business operating out of my cozy basement in Toronto.
However, long before I started selling plants, I already had several small online shops tied to my other hobbies. I’ve always been drawn to collecting crystals, crafting handmade accessories and decor, and creating unique items that bring a little magic to everyday life. Each shop grew out of love for these hobbies, and like my plant business, they evolved into small businesses that I ran alongside The Prop Studio.
As The Prop Studio grew, so did the challenges of managing multiple websites. Balancing all these shops while maintaining quality and care for each became increasingly difficult.
At the end of 2024, I decided to step back, reflect, and rethink my approach. The solution became clear: merging everything into one space. After all, my shops were all born from the same idea—to share my passions with others. Why not bring them together under one name?
Today, The Prop Studio has transformed into more than just a plant shop. While rare plants and gardening essentials remain at its heart, it’s now a space where all my passions come together. Alongside tropical plants, you’ll find a curated selection of crystals, handcrafted goods, stationery, enamel pins, and other items inspired by my love for creativity and nature. The Prop Studio is still a one-woman operation, and every item I sell is made or chosen with the same care and dedication that started this journey.
This rebranding marks a fresh start, but the essence of The Prop Studio remains the same—a shop built on love, passion, and a desire to share joy. I’m beyond excited to welcome you to this new chapter and to share everything I love with you. Thank you for being part of this journey and for continuing to grow with me! 🌿✨
