These days are waiting days, and I am busy puttering away in my workroom, wrapping up orders, and preparing to close my shop for a few months when my new little baby comes in the next few weeks. I am still accepting a few last orders, so if you would like to make a purchase, please do so sooner than later - as I will be closing my shop in the next week or so. Thank you for visiting me, and Wishing you all a lovely spring! xox sharilyn

Hello! I am now backordered to the end of the year! AS OF TODAY, ANY ORDER PLACED IS NOT GUARANTEED TO ARRIVE IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS. Because of this, I have now temporarily listed most of my items as waitlisted. However, if you have a special request or wish to make arrangements to have an item specially couriered to you please just send an email with your thoughts.
These days, I spend most of my time at my lovelydesign blog, where I post sporadic updates on what I am up to, creative projects and tips, and product updates and giveaways. I hope to see you there!
