March 18, 2013

  • Cats- We have two new cat pieces to start off the new year (better late than never!):
    The Enchanted Keyring features a beautiful black cat and an enchanted keyring.
    Spring Door is a magical springtime piece with a ladybug kitten and an enchanted doorknocker.

  • Sales- We still have a bunch of overstock items in our Sales gallery so be sure to check them out!

  • Shipping- International rates are completely brutal with the new hike in postal costs- shipping literally doubled or tripled. Unfortunately we've had to up our shipping prices to compensate for this huge jump (and it's still not often enough to cover the actual cost).

  • Coming Soon- We have a lot of new items coming up in the next few months, including new tin styles, lockets, necklaces, bracelets & ornaments. We will likely be adding them to the site slowly over the next few months and will send out a newsletter with a recap & new paintings, so keep an eye on the website in between newsletter updates!

We usually just save our overstock from shows, but this time she decided to add them for you at crazy low prices. Most items are the last on in stock so grab them while you can! Keychains, keychain charms, medieval frames, crystal cameos, charmed cameos, small lockets... check them out!
