Greetings folks. Sale will be Sunday evening at 8pm. Hornie and set of 3 tags. Eliza Pomeroy boxes and a few stragglers. The rest will be in the bonfire this afternoon. After all the work to change the brightness and color on the new printer, producing prints that can only be sealed with a product I wasted a day searching for, a part broke off inside and it no longer works. I can't do this anymore. The labels for the squares are tweaked for a printer that still works so if they are well received, I can make more of those. But the boxes offered Sunday will be the last. There may be a few others offered later if I find old labels in my folders.
Here's what the squares will be, maybe a few oddballs that were printed before my original printer died a few weeks ago. Descriptions and total prices will be listed at the time because I have to estimate shipping. The tag sets will be $10 and the hornies $8 without the shipping costs but I will list all that crap.
The berries will come later unless my sewing machine decides to croak. I just haven't had time to get them ready and will be relieved when I sit there watching the fire, enjoying a chocolate coke.
I'm sorry if some of you are disappointed but I have always sold my items for less than my cost and time. I enjoyed it. But after wasting weeks of my time for a few bucks and a load of aggravation, I just can't justify starting over again. You've suggested having them printed. I tried that. Color was off, clarity looked like a copy, size was off enough to not fit boxes properly, and I don't have the volume for it be a reasonable cost.
Have a great weekend.

Marly, they are all absolutely beautiful! Which to choose? Hopefully I won't forget your sale....Sunday is supposed to be a gorgeous day in our neck of the woods:) Happy weekend!
They look lovely! My weekend to-do list is long, but am adding one more line: "8pm Sunday"
I think they're stunning and hope to purchase on Sunday!
Are you going to sell larger blank horn books? Like the fox one? I would love to buy 2 or 3 !!!
I am thankful for all the boxes I've purchased from you (and the set I won!). I've loved them all and have given several as gifts. You do beautiful work, but don't do it if it's not something you love doing!
Hugs :)

che splendidi lavori complimenti
They are all beautiful Marly - hoping to purchase Sunday
I'm so sorry this has been such a challenge for you. Sometimes we are our own worst enemies. I think everything you do is beautiful. But I understand your frustration. I've been making and selling jewelry for several years and have finally given up. People just don't understand how much goes into making something that is unique and pretty. It's so frustrating to spend alot of time making sure a piece is as perfect as possible using good components, etc. and then having to sell it for so much less than it actually costs (labor not included). I feel for you, my friend. But must again say that everything you make is so pretty and it is obvious alot of love and time has been put into each piece.
Looking forward to Sunday night! Hope you can de-stress and relax now. The aggravation and frustration is just not worth it. Have a great weekend.
Wish I could be there, I love all of your work. I will be away on Sunday. My niece fell and broke her arm badly and I am helping my sister with her. I will be thinking of all of you.
