Shop :: New Arrivals


WOW! A week has flown by since Wee Folk Art Market Place opened. And, unless there is something we are forgetting, it went off without a hitch. The shop was open on Monday. We packaged orders on Tuesday, and they were shipped on Thursday. We even managed to place a few orders for the things we ran out of... much sooner than we thought... thank you VERY much :)

So, we are keeping our fingers crossed that tomorrow is equally as successful. Just a reminder... we are only open on Mondays from 7:00 a.m. (EST) to Tuesday 7:00 a.m. We only have a limited amount of our products, and when they are sold out, they are gone. In some cases, we will restock that item, in other cases when something is gone, we won't have it any more. We will let you know which items are limited when we share them. Also, if we reach a point that Michelle and I feel we've received all the orders we can package and ship that week, we will close the store early. If things continue to go this well, we should be able to add international shipping in the next week or two :)

Quick question concerning the hours. Does 7:00 a.m to 7:00 a.m. work for you? Do you think 8 to 8, 9 to 9 or even 10 to 10 would be better?

Hope to see you at the shop tomorrow :)
 

NEW ARRIVALS TO THE SHOP 

Last week we offered a wonderful all natural beeswax polish from a Michigan based company, Three Beetiful Bees. We use to make our own beeswax polish until we discovered Three Beeutiful Bees Beeswax Polish. Now, it is all we use! We are delighted to share this locally made (in Michigan), beeswax finish and to offer you 2 more varieties. Each is wonderful in its own right!

Original Beeswax Polish

This is Three Beeautiful Bees original formula. This has a great feel and a subtle honey smell.

"We took great care in creating this formula that blends the protection of beeswax with the “feeding” properties of mineral oil. We use the highest-grade beeswax that comes to us directly from apiaries in an unrefined state. After we clean out the impurities, we heat-blend the beeswax with food-grade oils to suspend the ingredients so that separation is minimal and thus prevents any wax build-up. Its consistency is unique; some describe it as a solid polish in a liquid state of being.

It is easy to use and smells wonderful. Simply dip a cloth into the jar, apply, let it dry and buff it BEEautiful. Your wood, concrete and leather items will gleam with delight at being rejuvenated by a gift from the bees."

It comes in a 4 oz. jar.

Lemon Lavender Beeswax Polish

I'm a fan of lemon AND lavender, so I love the smell of this polish.

"We took great care in creating this formula that blends the protection of beeswax with the “feeding” properties of mineral oil. We use the highest-grade beeswax that comes to us directly from apiaries in an unrefined state. After we clean out the impurities, we heat-blend the beeswax with food-grade oils to suspend the ingredients so that separation is minimal and thus prevents any wax build-up and add organic essential oils. Its consistency is unique; some describe it as a solid polish in a liquid state of being.

It is easy to use and smells wonderful, especially with the added natural essence of lemon and lavender. Simply squeeze out a small dollop or dip a cloth into the jar, apply, let it dry and buff it BEEautiful. Your wood, concrete and leather items will gleam with delight at being rejuvenated by a gift from the bees."

This comes in a 4 oz. jar.

All Natural Beeswax Polish

I have been using this all natural beeswax polish for quite some time and I love how it "melts" as I'm working it into the wood. When I'm done, I always rub some into my hands :)

"We took great care in creating this formula that blends the protection of beeswax with the “feeding” properties of Jojoba oil. We use the highest-grade beeswax that comes to us directly from apiaries in an unrefined state. After we clean out the impurities, we heat-blend the beeswax with food-grade oil (pesticide-free Jojoba Oil) to suspend the ingredients so that separation is minimal and thus prevents any wax build-up. Its consistency is unique; some describe it as a solid polish in a liquid state of being.

Pesticide Free JoJoba Oil only adds to the perfection of this magical elixir. It is strong enough to seal concrete, yet it is gentle enough to use on a baby's bottom. Our All-Natural formula is made without the use of petroleum distillates, contains no known allergens and will not go rancid.

It is easy to use and smells wonderful. Simply dip a cloth into the jar, apply, let it dry and buff it BEEautiful. Your wood, concrete and leather items will gleam with delight at being rejuvenated by a gift from the bees."

This comes in a 4 oz. jar.

polish and hours

This is my favorite beeswax polish to use too! I have the all-natural variety and it's lasted a really long time. I might need to try out that lemon-lavender though. Sounds heavenly. In terms of your hours, personally I'd prefer a bit later of a start hour. 7am is a bit early for me (since I'm busy getting my kids off to school) to check out the shop before it closes. And I'd think that with people in the Pacific time zones, 10a-10a would mean 7am-7am for them, as opposed to the current 4am-4am

hours

Oh and I just noticed that the cute hours graphic says EST. I assume you mean EDT now? I wish they'd just get rid of daylight savings time even though I do like later daylight in the evenings. I feel like it takes weeks to get used to every year.

Thanks, Tina. You are

Thanks, Tina. You are right. It is so frustrating. I know it is killer for programmers, too. And, one of my all time favorites... years ago, I bought a smart clock. I love this clock. It was "smart" because it would automatically change the time for daylight savings time back and forth. Then, what do we do? We change the starting and ending dates. So my once SMART clock, now changes on the old date... which always throws me for a loop, and I have to change it back. Then, on the actual date, I still need to change it. So, instead of changing my clock twice a year, I have to do it 4 times a year. And I REFUSE to add one more thing to the landfill when my clock works fine otherwise! Geeze!

In response to your question

In response to your question about times. This may not be an issue yet but if the shop opened later then those on the west coast wouldn't have to get up quite as early to place their orders? ;o)
In response to your question about shipping to Canada, we find that regular parcel post works the best. If it can fit in the mailbox then it will likely come straight through without us getting charged for customs. My biggest complaint with buying things from the US is when I want to order something small that I know will fit in an regular letter envelope and could be sent with one stamp is sent in a big box and I'm charged $10. Packing things flat so that they can fit in the padded envelopes rather than boxes keeps the cost down too.
