Blessed Saturday!
I pray you all take advantage of this day to rest.
Sharing another oldie but goodie. Isn’t this pretty! 😊
Tomorrow I’ll be working on two fall wreaths. Don’t miss them. 🍂🍁
That being said, I’ve received a few messages today that inspired me to ask an important question. ❤️
I understand that times are tough. Many families are struggling financially, and I’m no exception. As an educator, my pay has been reduced and my insurance has increased. I know what it’s like to have to be mindful of every dollar, and I genuinely understand the need to find ways to save.
Today, a few messages asked about DISCOUNTS on orders, and I want to share my perspective.
I’m always willing to work with you on price when I can. But let me ask you this… which part of my work would you like me to cut out?
The time spent designing? The materials I purchase? The hours spent creating, assembling, and perfecting your order? The attention to detail that goes into making sure you receive something made with care? My free delivery?
As a small business owner, I put more into every order than what you see on the surface. There are materials, time, creativity, experience, and countless little details that all contribute to the finished product.
I believe in being fair to my customers, but I also believe in valuing my own work. ❤️ Supporting a small business means understanding that behind every finished product is a person investing their time, resources, and heart into what they create.
I will always appreciate your support, your orders, and even your questions. And when your budget doesn't allow for something right now, that's okay, too. I'd rather you wait until the time is right than expect either of us to undervalue what goes into the process.
Let's continue to support one another, respect each other's craft, and remember that handmade and custom work is worth more than just the costly materials used to make it. ✨
With love,
Claire
