Announcement    Welcome! I make jewelry for people who are hippies-at-heart. Every item in my shop is unique and designed by me, incorporating components that have been crafted by talented artisans who are experts in ceramics, enameled metals, or lampwork glass. Purchases from me help sustain those very same artisans.

I offer flat rate shipping, and all orders are attractively packaged, ready for giving as a gift. Shipping is prompt, and tracking information is provided.

My shop policies and some personal background information follow:

Returns
If you wish to return an item for any reason whatsoever, please contact me within three business days of receiving your package. If I receive the item back from you in good order and within 30 days of your having received it, I will happily refund the cost of the item.

Sales taxes and import fees
Customers are responsible for any sales taxes or customs fees that might be charged.

A bit about my background
Before settling in Canada I lived in Wales, Vanuatu, and New Zealand. In New Zealand I was able to re-enter university as a "mature" student and eventually went on to get my PhD in Canada. Some years later -- as a university professor conducting research and teaching courses for 17 years -- university politics eventually ground me down. I decided to take early retirement which means I now have time to make things with my own hands. I'm SO grateful to be part of a network of amazing and genuinely handmade network of creators on Etsy. THANKS for helping me support those creators.

I sincerely hope that Etsy's current CEO, its board of directors, and especially its shareholders realize the impact their decisions have on creators whose livelihood often depends on such decisions.
