Welcome

INFLUENCES, INSPIRATION, BELIEFS?
I am a color lover and can happily sepnd hours browsing through patterned fabrics, paint swatches, colored pencils, markers, paints and crayons. I relish the little details in objects that are often overlooked. Vintage toys, fonts, designs and a patterns make my heart pitter-patter. Most of my belongings are thrift store chic or yard sale finds. I like things that have a history, a past, a life of their own. I try to inject these feelings into my art work. Sure, it may look like a snapshot of a doll or some random magazine clippings at first blush. But dare to gaze a little longer and look again...


WHY ETSY?
I love the spirit of the community here and I am proud have my artwork on Etsy. I love vintage things and items with a handcrafted touch. What a natural choice Etsy is for me!


WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?
I vowed at the start that whatever profits I make from Etsy will go to feed my consuming favorites list purchases. All money made from Etsy goes back into Etsy. Even money NOT made from Etsy finds its way to Etsy.

Payment

PREFERRED: PayPal - this allows me to ship right away.

ALSO ACCEPTED: Money orders and checks - I will message you when they arrive and ship your items as soon as they clear.

Shipping

HOW WILL MY ITEMS BE PACKAGED?
Photos are packaged in acid-free cello sleeves with foamcore backers, unmounted and unmatted unless otherwise specified. ACEO and mini collages are packed similarly but without the backers. Nothing is mounted unless noted in the description.

SHIPPING?
All purchases will be mailed out within 48 hours of payment, unless you have placed a custom order.

I ship in reinforced photo mailers, packed carefully to insure that your items arrive in great condition. I always include a little thank you note and a free goody of some sort - usually a free 4x6 photo!


INSURANCE?
I take great care to package carefully, but if you are worried about loss or damage I encourage you to ask about insurance on your package. I will gladly add it to your package at cost; I will cover the cost of insuring large custom orders.


DELIVERY CONFIRMATION?
I am happy to provide this service to customers at cost as requested.

Refunds and Exchanges

Refunds and exchanges will be discussed with the customer on a case by case basis. Custom artwork is exempt, except in case of postal damage.
