Getting my act together!
I have very recently done a bit of housekeeping to keep my sanity, and gone through my entire catalogue and discontinued many items. This is either because they were slow sellers, they were prone to design faults, or I just didn't enjoy making them anymore. Also I've had to list items as made to order where necessary. These are the popular lines that I do want to keep selling, but just haven't had the time to make a batch available straight away. Since I won't be doing any craft fairs next year (!) I don't want to be sitting on a lot of stock either, at least for the time being. So you will notice that there are now turnaround times on a lot of things- please take this into consideration if ordering for Christmas. The reason these dates vary is so I can make sure I am sending out good quality products. I was starting to want to stop jewellery making altogether very recently because of breakages in the post, items arriving with strong smells and generally not doing the best I could because I was being pressured by time. With these dates it means I can send out the best quality pieces and avoid disappointment. However where possible I will send out sooner if I think something is ready to go. This also means I will have a minimum of 28 days lead time on all wholesale orders and 7-14 days on custom orders.Just so you know... ;) Oh and I may well be changing the resin I use soon so that I get a nicer result anyway.... will let you know if and when that happens!***Christmas Posting Dates are now on the website homepage, please bear these in mind as these are the very last dates to place your order for guaranteed delivery before Christmas:Items available immediately:Australia and other countries not mentioned: 5th DecemberThe US, Canada, Eastern Europe: 9th DecemberWestern Europe: 11th DecemberUK: 20th DecemberItems with 3 days turnaround:Australia and other countries not mentioned: 2nd DecemberThe US, Canada, Eastern Europe: 6th DecemberWestern Europe: 8th DecemberUK: 17th DecemberItems with up to 5 days turnaround:Australia and other countries not mentioned: 30th NovemberThe US, Canada, Eastern Europe: 4th DecemberWestern Europe: 6th DecemberUK: 15th DecemberItems with up to 7 days turnaround:Australia and other countries not mentioned: 28th NovemberThe US, Canada, Eastern Europe: 2nd DecemberWestern Europe: 4th DecemberUK: 13th DecemberItems with up to 10 days turnaround:Australia and other countries not mentioned: 25th NovemberThe US, Canada, Eastern Europe: 29th NovemberWestern Europe: 1st DecemberUK: 10th DecemberAs it is also my birthday, I will be closing my shop a day or two early ;)
