Happy Weekend!

I promised myself that I was finished making pumpkins,

but while sorting through some things, I came across these darling metal leaves,

and beautiful candlewick fabric.

Then there were these pretty fabrics that screamed PUMPKIN!

(at least to me they did)

And these vintage blooms that I coffee dyed a few weeks ago.

They have all been listed in my aJOY2bheld shop.

 

A little side note about my Etsy shops:

I have always promised my customers 100% satisfaction,

and as such have never felt that I needed to take a prepayment or deposit on special orders

(with the occasional exception of a very large order or one requiring me to purchase special materials).

Of late, there is a growing trend for potential customers to request a special item,

communicate their specific wants,

agree on terms,

and disappear once the item is complete and listed.

This has happened to me 3 times over the past month.

Going forward, I find it necessary to ask for full payment in advance for any special orders.

I am heartily sorry that the actions of a few has forced me to make this policy change.

I appreciate your understanding.

 

One last little reminder:

(sorry, I know I am all over the place today)

"Masked Beauty" ATCs must be postmarked by next Friday,

that is one week from today.

I hope that our international swappers have already or are preparing to mail their ATCs.

 

I will now wish you a lovely weekend

to enJOY Your Blessings,

Kimberly
