+++All sales are considered final, however I do work on a case by case basis.
If you need more info about an item, please ask me BEFORE purchasing :)

*NOTES:
Both handmade and commercial items can vary in their shape, color and composition.

I strive to represent colors accurately, however colors tend to appear differently on different computers. If you are color matching, ask about color samples+additional info.

I do my best to provide accurate measurements (some items can vary slightly) , if you need more measurements, please contact me.
Items may appear smaller or larger than their actual size due to close up photos to show details. Please double check measurements to verify the size of the item.

Flowers are measured on the curve of the petals, rather than the top, as the top diameter measurements can vary.

If you have any questions about custom orders, just send me a convo. ;)

Beads and other small objects are a choking hazzard and should never be placed in mouths or ingested, please use with discretion.
