New Shipping Rates for Sleep Masks… plus upgrades.

Uncategorized

Checking things off my to-do list one thing at a time.
I’ve just reduced the shipping rates to the US on my Sleep Masks under $30. I had previously only been shipping these to the USA via Tracked Packet, which was great because it came with tracking, but also not so great because it was fairly expensive for a relatively inexpensive item. So I’ve decided to add a more inexpensive method of shipping to the US, that does not come with tracking. You can still opt for the Trackable method though!
I’ve also added some upgrades for faster shipping within Canada and Internationally.
Shipping from Canada is expensive and there is no getting around it, but I hope this will provide you with a few more options! Shipping is seriously one of the biggest hurdles I face as an online seller based in Canada. Our rates are more than double what things seem to be in the US, or in Asia. It can be hard to compete! I’ve only extended my $8 US shipping to my under $30 sleep masks at this time. It becomes too much of a gamble for me to risk losing more expensive items! It’s not just the cost of the materials that I am then out, but my time in making replacement items. I seriously envy my US Etsians who are able to offer tracking and insurance at a more reasonable rate…

New items… Finally!

Oh my gosh. Guys, being a mom is hard, hard work. Don’t get me wrong, it’s totally worth the hard, hard work, but readjusting my schedule is an on going learning process.

In January, Isabel started daycare! She goes 3-4 days a week. Her day care provider is amazing. She has so much energy and is just so natural with the kids. Isabel absolutely loves going, which makes me feel really happy about sending her.

So, now that I have more of a regular schedule, I’ve been getting back into the swing of things. This week has been rough though. Isabel was sick for the very first time in her life! It was only a cold, but she had a bit of a fever on Monday and I just hate seeing her sick. All her pep just drained right out of her. So, we had a couple of sleepless nights, and a couple of very long days.  On the bright side, I’m a little ahead of work so that didn’t add much stress to the matter.  I’m very happy to say she is on the mend and much more her smiling, giggly self now.

Anyway, back to business. I’ve added a bunch of new items to  my shop this week and I thought I’d share a few of them with you here!

I’m starting to run dangerously low on My Fleur Romper fabric… I absolutely adore this fabric and didn’t want to let a single scrap go to waste, so I’ve decided to made sleep masks with it as well. I made a few of these cat-ear sleep masks for Changing of the Garnet but wanted to offer them in my shop too!

I’ve got a few “basics” as well as some more fun items…

One of my personal favourites…

I wanted to make a quick note about the peach floral set above – this the item that was chosen in the All’s Fair in Love and Lingerie Giveaway in November, and has been named after the winner, Zoe. I actually made a few of these sets for Changing of the Garnet and kept one of the samples for myself. I seriously can’t get enough of it. I am constantly wanting to do laundry so I can wear it again! The fabric is so light and stretchy and it looks absolutely fantastic on. Every time I wear it I feel like supermodel. My favourite part though is the accent of Rose Gold hardware. Anyway, I just wanted to rave about this set because I really value comfortable underwear and was super happy with how this set turned out. 
And lastly, something I’ve been wanting to do for a while is offer a few super-limited sets using fabrics from indie designers on Spoonflower. I so often get lost in the Spoonflower worm hole and end up losing hours looking at fabrics…  I really enjoy working with new fabrics so I’m buying just 1 or two meter cuts of these specialty prints. They cost a little more than my usual items, but they are truly unique and you will not only be supporting an indie lingerie designer, but also indie fabric designers!
