Holiday Season Suggested Shipping Dates

The holidays are approaching. I can hear Santa's sleigh bells already!

Yes folks, as much as you would like to deny it (personally I live in denial), it's that time of year again! The one where Santa boards his big red Sleigh, and packs it full of toys for all the good little girls and boys. This also coincides with the time of year where I stand in line at the Post Office everyday, my arms full of presents for all the good little Browncoats... Coincidence? Wait, am I saying that I'm some kind of Santa Claus?? I'm not really a fan of beards (unless you count Wheezy Waiter...).

Anyway, I digress. It is time for me to announce the Annual Holiday Season Suggested Shipping Dates. These are the last dates that your package should be shipped if you want to get it in time for Dec 25th.

US: Thursday Dec 10th

CANADA: Friday Dec 18th

INTERNATIONAL: Tuesday December 1st

Now these are just suggested dates. Canada Post isn't making any guarantees about anything, and neither am I! ;) There is probably a little bit of lee-way in these dates, but please do remember that mailing items around the holidays usually takes a bit longer than normal, so the more wiggle-room the better. :) That means order early if you want your items in time for Christmas.

Stay shiny!

Love,

Last Weekend for Holiday Shoppers

Get your Christmas gifts while you can!

Just a quick reminder that this is the last weekend to order your Jayne hat or buttons in order to receive them in time for the holidays! Of course, my fellow Canadians still have a couple extra days left. ;)

I will still be knitting and taking orders, so no worries to those of you ordering non-holiday items.

Beyond the status quo

It's funny: just when you start hoping things will pick up, they do, and then you start hoping that things will settle down. Or maybe it's just a case of never being satisfied with the status quo? Perhaps.

Mostly I've been busy shipping hats, which involves the very fun "trip to the post office." It seems like in the past month every time I stop by the post office after work there's a line. All summer long it was like a ghost-town, but now it's starting to pick up. It makes me wonder if people are getting ready for xmas already. And that scares me a bit, cuz I know I said I like to be prepared, but I feel like I'm falling behind already. Like I should have dozens of hats knit up and waiting for the rush that is sure to come. Maybe I'm being paranoid (it's entirely possible).

So I decided that I need to step up my hat-production. Which sadly, sigh, means more TV watching (Pushing Daisies starts tonight! I can't wait! But I guess I've already missed Chuck. Oh well). 'Tis the season, as they say. So if you need me, I'll be on the couch, staring at the boob-tube, anticipating xmas.
