Creating mementos to celebrate life's journeys.
I've always enjoyed making things. Since always.
I suppose my story begins with my late grandmother, Martha Sue. She was the biggest influence on the development of my creativity. With my grandmother being such a creative force herself, it is no wonder, that with her guidance, I was able to constantly discover new avenues of self-expression and learn how truly special 'handmade' can be.
From making greeting cards for family, to arranging fresh flowers, to simply cooking a meal - I found that creating something, no matter how small, makes my heart happy.
After a period of transitioning from medium to medium, I started actively honing my craft of working with leather a few years ago. It is with leather that I am lucky enough to be able to create mementos for others to celebrate their life's journeys.

Hi there! I'm Brandy. Originally from the foothills of North Georgia, I now spend my days exploring New England and dreaming of international travel when I'm not working with leather.

Please remember when shopping:
Hand stamped items are always unique of one another. Slight variations in each hand stamped piece are to be expected with the method and promote the charm and character of the craft.
No machines are involved in the stamping process. Just my wee little hands!

Shipping
I think allowing "rush" orders to be placed ahead of other orders is unfair. I process orders in the order in which they are received.
Only orders shipped within the USA include Delivery Confirmation. If your order is to be shipped outside the US and you require Delivery Confirmation, please let me know and I can set up a custom listing for you with adjusted shipping costs.
International Shipping usually takes around 2 weeks, but it would not be uncommon for it take longer for a package to arrive. Germany, in particular, can take upwards of 2 months for a package to arrive. All International orders are shipped USPS First Class International as it is the most affordable. If you want to upgrade to expedited shipping/delivery confirmation/tracking/insurance, just let me know and I can set up a custom listing for you. :)
UPDATE: On Jan. 22, 2012, the United States Postal Service enacted an increase on international shipping (For example: The cost to ship 2 leather tags outside the US increased by 60%!) so the current shipping rates reflect that.
Additional policies and FAQs
If I buy "in bulk" can I get a discount?
-No. Due to the time and effort involved in hand stamping, I am unable to offer a discount on large volume orders. It doesn't matter if I'm making 2 tags or 200, I spend the same amount of time on each tag.
I need this item by this weekend. Can you please ship it ASAP or by [specific date]?
-I attempt to process orders as quickly as possible. I may ship your order within 2 days or 4 days, but that is not always the case. Please allow for the full estimated processing time shown on the shop announcement (and your Etsy order confirmation email) when calculating when your order will be shipped. Orders are created in the order in which they are received and the option to "rush" orders is not currently available.
Do you offer your items wholesale?
-No.
