New Rule

Hey everyone I need to address a new rule. Usually I am pretty good about letting you pay me when you get your items, but I just cannot do that any longer. You see when you make a request from me, usually it is something unique or something you want matched. So I go to the store and I pick up ribbon, embellishments, and more - to make your very own item.

This stuff is not cheap as many of you well know. I cannot just say hey give me this much ribbon (on some yes but most I buy it by the spool) and I only need one butterfly out of that package so can you just let me open the package and pay for one butterfly or daisy or whatever it is you requested. Of course I have to buy the whole package and I often spend $20 to $30 each time I go to the store, sometimes much much more! Then I have spent my money we needed for say gas or bread and I make your bows or holders or flip flops, whatever you requested, and I say to you your order is done come get it, and often times people put it off for several days to even weeks.

The issue is that is not fair to me or my family. We are spending the money planning on having it repaid and then it isn't and it hurts us. So a dear friend who also runs a boutique told me she has everyone pay upfront. That way everything is taken care of and if she needs something she has the money to go get it. I hope you understand and I do not want to lose any of you as valued customers, but try to imagine yourself in my position. I have paypal and I can invoice you. You do NOT have to have a paypal account in order to pay through paypal. I believe you can pay with any credit or debit card. If cash is your only means of purchasing, please message me and we can work something out. I am more than willingly to make exceptions if you can pay me as soon as the items are completed. Thank you in advance and I look forward to working with you and creating some more lovely things for you.

Also picking up items is also becoming an issue. I have very cheap shipping rates. Considering the fee paypal charges me after you pay, it is even less. I do not mind meeting you or my husband meeting you when it is convenient for us. He works in Fort Smith so that is no problem if you want to meet him before 3 pm Monday through Friday. Anything outside of that is going to have to start charging a $3 handling fee. You are always welcome to come get it here in Greenwood or have it shipped. Please let me know when ordering what you prefer so I can invoice you properly. Thanks again.
