Accessory of the month

So those on Fb saw my new project post last night.

I have seen over the past few months the famous deal sites where shops offer a item/s at a reduce price . Well I have tried many times to get accepted . A few said no that my items didn't fit their site and others gave me too many request ( % between site and me was not reasonable  , amount of items i had to have available was to high for me , we're talking 100's ) . My prices are pretty reasonable as they are and lowering them to what some asked was like I was basically making them for free .  Also the fact that ( if you are new to Austenland) I , Paulina am the owner , designer , creator , maker , shipper , organizer . This is a one person shop , not like many shop  that are run by 3-5 people , being friends , relatives. Their is only so much my two hands can do & hiring isnt really a option I can do at the moment. I love knowing that what I ship was design by me , inspected by me and knowing I sent a 100%+ finished product not worry if maybe something was missed .
So I decided that I want to offer my amazing followers the chance to get a item at a reduce price but not through a 3rd party site , directly from me .  This allowed me to be the  one with full control and set my own rules and amount I know I can commit to .
Each 1st of every month for 24 hrs ( 12:00 am PST - 11-59 pm PST) one special design will be one sale with a 30-50% discount from its regular price. Their will be a limited quantity of  15-30 available , depending how many I can make of that one item . Its first come bases , so if amount sells out before the end of day , no more quantities be added  . This deal will be only be available through  etsy shop under  " Item of the month " section, this allows all facebook and Instagram followers the chance to get even share . Don't have Paypal ? No worries the debit / credit card is second option available in the shop   .I do ask to read entire description , since some items will need to choose hardware and some will be certain size only . These items will not be ready to ship like the rest of the items but will ship around the 10-15th of the month . Due it being a sale and I will be making them according to the amount of orders. Note each month will be a diff accessory.


So being tomorrow May 1st we launch the first deal ! Here is the item that will be feature ....

Pink fairy
hardware available in Lace headband , soft elastic , pin , clip 

 I am very excited for this monthly deal , and I hope it allows everyone to enjoy more Austenland products, because you know their is never enough accessories right?
please share this with your family and friends. And if you have any questions feel free to msg me .

New products to the shop

If your following me on facebook or instagram you probably seen my new items. How are you liking them ?

New style pieces 

first of these new over the top and extra detail pieces are to much fun . If you have followed me for awhile know im not a fan of feathers and if i do use their most likely peacock feathers. But after testing and trying out the puffy feathers I really was happy with it. I will only do a certain amount of theses because I am not a industry and I want to keep them unique and one of a kind. Also they can be hair clip , brooch pin/clip just make sure you leave me a note at checkout . 

paper and fabric crown 

My next product the crowns is a very special product that started last June . a sweet friend of mine was having a Paris 1st Birthday and wanted something special . of course I thought a pink headband , but she suggested something else . so i thought what to kids wear on birthdays are usually hats and I was going for the traditional cone shape hat but since the guest where wearing hats I had to erase that idea. and then princess crown came to my mine . Her first hat was made of scarpbook print paper then I added all types of flowers i make in all kinds of material. Second was a all felt crown with same details.

Bella with felt crown 

I love the way the crowns came out being my first time trying it and wanted to add them to my shop but their was things I had to think about , if your a handmade shop owner you probably understand and can relate . My big worries was how was it going to ship , postal service is one thing we cant control so even if it fits you have to think can it be damage . the shipping in boxes was on choice but also that ment shipping cost would go up and I always think of my customers income. Another issue is both crown were diff size and shape  if I wanted to sell a product I want it to be for all ages or to fit the most I can instead of making by size . And probably the last big concern was supplies and cost . Will I be going my way to much just to make one piece what more supplies will I be adding to my already long list.
I came up with a few back in the fall and sold them at the shows I had . They were okay and I gave them very cheap . but they still needed work after may couldn't buy because small details . back to the drawing board .
And so finally fixing and redoing a few I am very happy with the result . For one thing I can ship these the same way I do all items ( yay no over cost to you) and they are a one size fits all ! how to wear them will be your choice . Either you choose the ribbon tie where youll tie a bow in back to fit size desire or headband lace or soft elastic . the piece itself is 10 inches and which ever style to choose it can fit any size head and it will last longer. So if your wanting this as a prop to your photography you dont have to worry it will only fit a certain age. if this is for a party this makes a great dress up accessory after.
While I will make onlya few at a time custom orders are welcome all the time I ask at least 3 week prior to event.
