Local Pickup

I want to buy an item on Etsy, but I’m local. Can I eTransfer and come to you?

I do my local sales through Etsy. It’s easier for me to track inventory and orders in this way, as I receive requests in a few ways (Instagram, Facebook, E-Mail etc).

When you do the Etsy transaction, you can use the coupon code LOCALPICKUP to skip shipping fees. Much like a regular Etsy transaction, the processing time is still 5-7 business days, which means it may take up to 7 business days before your order is dropped. 

I do my best to get orders out quickly, and schedule drop offs and shipping days twice per week. It truly just depends when your order is placed. 

When your order is ready, you’ll get a notification via Etsy. It will be at 98 Water Street in Charlottetown- This is the PEI Craft Council’s retail gallery. They are open Monday through Saturday from 10am - 4pm. 

Beach Blankets

Can I buy a PEI Mandala Beach Blanket?

The short answer is no, this is no longer an item I offer. It was a great seller, and there is a chance you will still find one lingering with a stockist, but I don’t carry them anymore. 

They were really popular, but they were also shipped to me with excessive packaging, and regardless of how many conversations I had with the supplier, I wound up with a huge waste bag of plastic with each order. I know its all inevitable with business, but this passed a threshold for me. 

Suppliers

Can you tell me about suppliers?

Absolutely- I don’t hold any of this close to my chest. I’ve done my best to find great suppliers as close to home as possible. It’s not a secret sauce, and if I can help you skip learning the hard way I will. 

For my clear poly sleeves, back-boarding and shipping supplies I use ClearBags - They’re excellent to work with. If you find the website daunting, you can always give them a call. There is always a friendly voice on the other end to help work out what you need. They’re in Ontario and shipping is relatively quick.

I use Formfree Branding Ltd. for most of my printing needs. They’re located in Charlottetown and do an excellent job. I moved from doing my greeting cards out of province to this spot- And they are significantly crisper and better quality. I would recommend them to anyone. 

If you have more questions, send me an email and I’ll do my best to help.

Logo Design

Can you design a logo for me?

This is not something that I offer. I’m not a graphic designer, and it’s not a direction I’m moving. When you look for someone to do your logo, they should give it to you in vector format, so that you can enlarge it as you please. 

I work in traditional methods, mostly ink, and not digital images- Which is what you need. Even writing this explanation I feel confident I used the wrong terminology for what a graphic designer would explain to you!
