Random Thoughts

About snow, gemstone fans, shipping, holiday shopping.

About Snow

We got about 14-20” of snow around Boulder yesterday. Feeling very much like winter today. Schools closed, people all bundled up. Just a preview for all of you in Florida and Hawaii. HA!

About Shipping

Our ecommerce software was just upgraded. We can finally separate shipping options by country and carrier. Yeah! We added US Express Mail as an choice for next day delievery to most US locations. We added a Free Shipping Upgrade too. Us orders of more than $25 are free and will usually be shipped First Class Mail. Now, if your order is $75 or more, we will upgrade you to Priority Mail for free! We’ll also be adding a discounted express option for the holidays too. This will help orders get through the maze of mail in the next few weeks more quickly!

About Holiday Shopping

Please plan ahead when you can! We do get hit pretty hard on seasonal items like angel wing beads and run out from time to time before Christmas. It’s also harder for us to ship something “instantly”. Our goal is 24 hour turnaround on your order M-F, but we are already getting orders at 3PM that people want shipped that day. That can be difficult!

About Gemstone Fans

It’s getting harder and harder to find quality gemstone fans at reasonable price. Our good suppliers have almost disappeared in the last two years. We’ll keep trying to find new ones as these have always been good sellers for us, but if you really like fans, check out our current selection as it may not be this good again in the near future. The Lapis 13 Piece fan below is especially nice. We also posted a picture of design using a 13 piece fan as an inspiration for your own creativity!
