MyBack40 features Handcrafted unique home décor and gift items made on my farm here in Canada - Wine Charms, Memorial Ornaments, Bookmarks etc. With a deep appreciation for vintage and antique items I strive to re-purpose older items and give them new life when possible.
SHIPPING - Heavy parcel volumes and delays are continuing with both USPS and Canada Post, so please be patient. Review the listing description and shipping information carefully and if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you for your understanding.
CANADA TO US MAIL - I am continuing to notice longer delivery times for mail and packages from Canada to the US. Items now take 14-20 days to arrive so please be patient, but do feel free to stay in touch with me. First class letter mail DOES NOT include tracking so please be patient while waiting for your treasure(s) to arrive. Thank you for your understanding during this extraordinary time.
I have two other shops here on Etsy and I would be delighted to have you visit.
TheOldBarnDoor is filled to overflowing with vintage postcards, ephemera, photography and unique home decor pieces.

5 out of 5 starsWas absolutely beautiful. I got the purple ribbon in honour of my sister who lost her battle to cystic fibrosis in 2000. Now this is a reminder that she’s still with us on Christmas. Thank-you 💜

5 out of 5 starsWhat a fantastic theme for a set of wine charms! Very well made and thoughtfully packaged, not only for delivery, but also for storage. (Although I might have trouble packing them away, and not looking at them, for a whole year.) Arrived much sooner than expected. Great shop. I displayed them on a metal gumdrop tree I had.

Wine Charm creations in progress
Like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz
You know that great line from the end of The Wizard of Oz where Dorothy looks up at her friends and family and says something to the effect about “looking for her heart’s desire she wouldn’t look any further than her own backyard.” Well, my life is sort of like that…except I discovered I didn’t have the right backyard. So, after a 25+ year high pressure career, my husband and I chucked it all, sold the house in the big city and bought the farm…really…we bought a farm.
My main passion, after my husband and my animals is vintage and antique collectibles. I find enjoyment in finding new homes for many of these treasures and repurposing them to give them new life. When time permits I can be found at my crafting table with a wide variety of projects underway - often inspired by my latest finds.
I believe in animal rescue, laughing often and loudly, eating local and healthy, following your heart and making your dreams a reality.
My first shop on Etsy is devoted to vintage postcards, ephemera, photography and decorative pillow covers made from my photographs and snippets of antique postcards. I'd be delighted to have you drop on by for a visit

Payment
Delivery
Rates from Canada are, unfortunately, somewhat higher than those in the US. I strive to ship the next business day after payment but it may be up to 3 business days if things on the farm are really busy (lambing season, hay season etc). I will gladly combine items purchased to reduce the overall postage cost and I will mark the item shipped on the day I mail your item.
CUSTOMS:
International customers are responsible for duties, taxes and customs fees assessed by your country. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; sellers have no control over these charges. You may contact your local customs office for more information.
When filling out customs forms, Canadian, U.S. and International government regulations prohibit sellers from marking merchandise values lower than the selling price, as well as marking items as gifts. Unfortunately, I have no control over the time it may take for your item to go through Customs before it arrives to you.
Privacy
We only use customer information to fulfill orders. We do not store or use customer information for any other purpose. Information such as name, address, and email address is not stored on our computers or the Cloud etc. For regulatory purposes we retain paper copies of transactions for a period of 4 years. If and when required, we will communicate with you about your order status using the Etsy platform.

Frequently asked questions
WHY ARE SHIPPING COSTS SO HIGH?
Etsy now requires all items valued at $10 US and above must be shipped with tracking for me to continue to be considered a trusted seller, this protects both you and me as a seller. Canada Post recently (Jan 2022) increased their package shipping rates within Canada and to the US and that is reflected in the shipping costs charged.
The postage rates charged are actual Canada Post rates, however any postal overage of $2 or more will automatically be refunded to you. (based on your actual location)
