Shipping change

September 14th, 2009 6 comments

I’m about out of shipping containers, and pricing out my next batch, I realized that I can get white boxes in the same size for a slight increase in cost. It’s fairly negligible, but if everybody’s happy with the brown, there’s not a lot of point in taking on any extra cost. I will point out that Jayne’s original box was white, although my box doesn’t have the same dimensions. That’s because a) the foldy boxes are expensive enough that I’d have to raise prices, and b) shallow enough that I worry people would accidentally slice their hats opening the box.

Here’s an old pic of a brown box. The white box would be exactly the same size and dimension. I think the stamps would really pop on the white. I’m curious as to what people think.

SQUIRREL!

Had great fun over at Jane Prater’s house on Sunday. She hosted a spin-in, so the house was packed with wheels, wool, and people. I got to try out someone’s drum carder, which was a nice new experience to have.

Jane Prater is my former eighth grade English teacher. I ran into her again as an adult in a local yarn store. Turns out she’s a master knitter. We’re both adults now and have similar temperaments and hippie leanings, but she never lets me forget that I was once a 14-year-old in her class, one who wasn’t always perfect. That’s okay; giving people a hard time is another thing we have in common.

I did more yesterday than I should have to make up for Saturday’s inactivity due to illness. Em didn’t have a great day on Saturday, so I wanted to be sure on Sunday that we worked on times tables and that she got out and about. All the running around town has me tired today. Of course, it’s not 7am yet, so there’s still time to wake up and have an excellent day.
