Banners buntings garlands & all things pretty.. by HEMdesign

My journey to small business owner has been a long and winding one, but perhaps not a surprising destination considering my background.

Perhaps it is the memory of playing Strawberry Shortcake under the craft sale table while my mother and grandmother sold their latest handmade creations. My grandmother made the most amazing handmade candles, which she named "Joy Lites" after her name, Joyce. But there was always something new to try, painted wood ornaments, silk floral arrangements (it was he '80's after all)... I guess you could say creating beautiful things is in my blood!

Not only did I learn how to wield a hot glue gun and manage a sewing machine from my beloved grandmother and mother, but an appreciation for things "well loved" or vintage. Hours spent hunting for "treasures" in thrift stores, garage sales and flea markets helped me hone a keen eye for diamonds in the second-hand rough.

This appreciation seems to have spilled over to my Etsy shop, as I definitely can identify the vintage influences in my products. Lucky for me style trends seem to cycle through every so many years, so all those craft sales I attended in the 1980's have made me an expert in all things trendy 30 years later!

So thanks to Mom and my late Grandma Joycee, there wouldn't be a HEMdesign (for many reasons!) if it weren't for you...

All items ship from Canada within 2 weeks of receipt of payment. Some items may ship sooner, such as seasonal items, so please read the lead time for individual items. An email will be sent to you when the item has been delivered to the post.

Canadian customers: It will then take an additional 1-5 business days for your order to arrive via Canada Post.

US Customers: It usually takes an additional 6-10 days for your order to arrive via United States Postal System (USPS), but it occasionally can take up to 15 days. Please allow adequate time for your item to ship.

International Customers: Typically shipping times from Canada to places outside of North America ranges between 1-4 weeks (however if in the UK it’s usually closer to a week, Australia 2 weeks).

Shipping prices DO NOT include parcel tracking or insurance. Please contact us if you require these services, but be warned they come at a premium.

Shipping prices also DO NOT include any duties or fees collected when crossing the border. Also be aware that items do occasionally take longer than expected to clear customs, so please be patient, and contact us if you are concerned.

Combined shipping prices are for items being sent to the same address.

I can accommodate rush orders (which means I can ship it sooner, but can't change how long it takes to get delivered!) upon request at an additional cost of $2 per item. Feel free to check with me before placing your order to be sure this is an option that will work for you and your deadline.

Express shipping can also be arranged if necessary. US customers please budget about $30 total per parcel for express shipping. However, this will provide a tracking number and 4 day delivery guarantee.

Please understand I am also a part time art teacher and mom of 3 young children, so creating and shipping your item takes a considerable amount of timing and co-ordination :)
