Shipping Information & other notes

Address updates: If you order and then realize that your order contains an old address, let me know as quickly as possible. I will cancel your original order so that you can order again with the proper address. I appreciate your understanding, as this is to ensure that we both have good information. I will not manually update or switch an address for both of our protection. Shipping: I use USPS for the vast majority of shipments. In the case of a very heavy order, I may use UPS. APO/International: I don't ship internationally at this time, but that does not include any US military or support personnel stationed overseas. If you use an APO, I will happily ship to your location. Thank you for your service.

High Shipping? Well, here's about REFUNDs!

Like you, I'm sensitive to shipping cost. I buy online, too. I also ship all over the US, and to our military stationed abroad/US territories...For me, shipping isn't a profit zone. But I must cover the cost to ship to you, plus Etsy fees & materials like boxes. Vintage can be heavy and always requires large boxes, and a lot of packaging material to ensure that your item(s) get to you in as good a condition as sourced. I also buy the heavyweight boxes, again to make your shipment arrive in fabulous shape. Recently, the USPS changed some things (more about that in another FAQ), and I'm often paying double what I've charged. That's not sustainable. Know that, when I pack up your order, if I can refund you...I will. Always.

What happened to your handmade items?

Until recently, this shop sold handcrafted items: coaster, magnets, needle minders & more. But trends change, and it is hard to remain excited when you aren't shipping as often. Priced low, on purpose...there was just no margin to pay Etsy promotion fees... I considered closing up, but then came a life change: retirement. When my storefront was open (2001-2008) I sold vintage PLUS handmade. I have still gone thrifting, but I find so many wonderful things...and I simply can't use them all. Given the society push to ecofriendly, I figured this pivot would help me share some retro love, and let you find items not in your area. I hope you find some great items to enhance your world.

USPS recent changes, Rural zones & rates

Recently, the USPS made a few changes. They've instituted what I'm calling a 'rural zone' surcharge. If you live in a smaller town, and not in the hub/market of a larger city, the cost to ship (my cost) can be double what you've paid. I don't look at shipping for profit, but shipping charged has to come as close as possible to the real value. Example: I had an order pay $8.50 for shipping, and I paid over $15 to ship that order out. For this reason, I've updated the categories on some heavier items. I may still be covering part of the shipping, but hopefully, not most of it. I never want to overcharge (and again, know that I do refund overpaid) but I do need to cover my actual costs. More questions? Let me know. Thanks!

Highlights

Made by homeNESTstudio
Supplies for making crafts

What: Needle minder (also called a needle nanny) cotton fabric covered button with 2 magnets. Use to keep your needle (and pins) right where you want them.

Design: #114. Ditsy design, blue floral, on white background.

Please note that your monitor may display colors differently so use the color names as your guide, even if the item looks different on your screen. Need more information? Please let me know.

More: Slightly curved (as a button is). Simply fasten the minder to your handwork by placing the button on top, and the second magnet (contained in finger friendly cover) beneath. When ready to take a break, place your needle on top, and let the magnetic action hold it in place. Also works great for pins! Each minder is about 1.5" wide.

Each minder is individually made and fabric placements will vary. Rare earth magnet beneath the button gives a small 'footprint' holding the minder close fabric. Ceramic button beneath is thicker and with the outside cover, makes for easy removal and repositioning.

Makes a perfect gift for the hand maker, quilter, embroidery lover in your life. Convenient, fun & useful...just one of my favorite things!

Button is USA made from punched aluminum, hand covered with (usually) 100% cotton fabric. I do sometimes find great designs in cotton/poly blends as well.
