New Not-Good News

OK, I'm going to keep this short & sweet, as I REALLY don't want to go into it, and I don't really share too much of my personal life with customers, except when I feel it's critical to maintaining relations and customers knowing what's going on here.

I've been getting hit with a slew of panicky e-mails & phone calls, from customers worried that we went out of business or something, because the web site's still not open to orders, and Christmas is rapidly approaching. No need to worry, I am not, repeat N-O-T going out of business.

This is the situation here: The move never happened, much of the business stuff was packed up and moved into a shipping container, awaiting the move, which should have happened, but didn't. Apparently, my vision of a new life & a fresh start were different from my wife's, because she decided her idea of a new life didn't include me. That's ALL I'm going to say on that, because there's still "stuff" happening, and I don't want to get into some kind of trouble.

So, as you can probably guess, with everything that's happening, I'm not in the proper mental place to deal with the Christmas rush. I'm also not really in the best place, business-wise, either, because half of the Christmas merchandise is packed away in the container.

I am still taking orders, I'm only selling on etsy right now, because I have greater control over it, and can slowly list things as I dig them out of the container. If you have a specific request, email me with a want list, and I'll see what I can do, but honestly, with what's going on, you'll have to give me some time.

I don't know when I'll be ready to re-open and go back to the business-as-usual mode, because I honestly don't know how this will play out, or what sort of time-frame I'm looking at, I have zero experience or knowledge of this stuff, and never expected to...

So there you go, if you've been trying to reach me, sorry, I haven't been in the shop much lately, because, if you'll pardon me, the shit hit the fan in a big way, and I got it sprayed right in my face. Maybe I'll see some of you over in etsy-land, if not, have a good holiday season, and I'm sorry I can't be more of a help this year.
