New Resweater shipping costs

As many of you know, for years now I have kept a low maximum shipping rate of $6 for Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Michigan, and $10 for all other states. The cost of the sweaters, shipping costs, and pretty much all other costs involved for me, have gone up over the years, and I regretfully have to increase my shipping rates. Starting this Thursday, September 20th, 2012, the new maximum rates will be $8 for Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Michigan, and $12 for all other states. Additionally, any orders of over 25 sweaters will be an additional $10 (so an order of anything over 25 sweaters would be $18 to Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, or Michigan, and $22 to all other states). I have really struggled with this decision, but I have been losing a lot of money lately, due to the rising costs of... well everything, and this will allow me to not raise the prices of the sweaters themselves.

Thank you for your understanding.

Kris :)

1000 likes sale!

I have 1000 "likes on my Facebook page! Time for a sale! All individual sweaters in my shop are 50 cents off each, and $5 off of any mystery lots in my shop. This sale will run from now until midnight (CST) Wednesday, September 12, 2012. This discount will not automatically apply at checkout, so you have 2 choices. You can pay for them, and I will refund you the difference, or you can email me with your sweater choices and I can remove them from my shop and send an invoice for the correct amount. With the second option, you run the risk of someone being able to purchase the sweaters before I am able to remove them.

Brief weekend Resweater hiatus

I will be visiting an out of town friend over the weekend, so I will not be able to fill/send any orders from Friday (July 27th) afternoon until Monday morning (July 30th). Feel free to place orders, but I won't be able to fill them until I get back. Have a great weekend!

Wool & cashmere diaper covers for sale... cheap!

[all are sold]

It's an I need a new transmission sale ;)! Need any diaper covers? Since I won't be doing shows anymore, I need to liquidate my inventory. These are all $8 or less! There are a couple that I would consider "seconds" (a seam doesn't line up perfectly, etc.), but are all fully functional.

If you want to purchase any, please email me (krisnstevep@netzero.com) tell me which #/#'s you want, your zip code to calculate shipping, and an email address to send the invoice to. I'm sorry, but I will only be shipping within the US on these. Shipping will be actual shipping, rounded up to the nearest dollar (the difference will help cover my Paypal fees), and you are welcome to combine shipping with sweater orders. I will be selling them on a first come, first serve, basis, so please understand that asking a question will not hold them for you. I will mark them sold, as soon as they are spoken for.

The bodies of the soakers (not the longies) were based off of Katrina's soaker pattern. The waists & legs are my own in most of them. Please size up, or ask for measurements if you are not sure, because I won't be able to take returns on these.
