It’s been a long time since I had an order for a garland of bells. I started making it yesterday and hope to finish today. I took a picture of the process on the background of the Furry tales embroidery by Lucie Heaton pattern. There is one of the pictures that always decorate my workspace.
One of the most popular garlands in CrochetCabinetCrafts is flower bunting.
My biggest ever order left home today to Switzerland. It consists of 7 garlands. Thus, the packaging was a challenge. I used my white boxes for Daffodils, Poppies and Campanula garlands and put four little buntings in one pack. Then I packed them all into a carton, which I got with my birthday gift from my loved daughter (you know, I am a boxes person). It fitted ideally. I hope the customer will be happy with her order.
Thus far, I have only red and orange poppies garlands in CrochetabinetCrafts. However, I am planning to crochet yellow and purple poppies garlands too. Do you think it is a good idea?
My new creation – yellow Daffodils garland with leaves. The bunting is 210 cm / 83″ long. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1141038938/yellow-daffodils-with-leaves-crochet
The first shipping 2022 year consisted of three packages: two orders were from the UK and the third one from the USA. The biggest one was from Scotland, Dunblane, a small town situated not far from Stirling. There were three pieces in this parcel – a Poppy, white Daffodil and Christmas Trees buntings. The next order, Flower garland, was from Congleton, a city in southeast Cheshire, located about halfway between Manchester and Stoke. And the last order flew to New York City, there were two chokers, dark red and navy blue were in it. Thank you, girls, so much for supporting my small business!
A new item is in my Etsy shop CrochetCabinetCrafts – 3D crochet purple Campanula Bellflower bunting https://www.etsy.com/listing/1135532900/campanula-crochet-garland-bellflower
Today I’ve sent yellow daffodils garland to Howick, Auckland, New Zealand for the first time. Even Post office workers noticed: “We were not there yet”. And they asked, how long the registered letter will fly there? What can I answer? – I don’t know. Firstly, it is the Holiday season, secondly – COVID season, thirdly – I haven’t sent any order to New Zealand before. Well, we shall see 🙂 and I hope that the customer will be very patient.
Recently, sales on Etsy have declined. Everyone explains it by the fact that customers are waiting for Black Friday. For this reason, I have decided to prepare more of my best sellers to send them out as soon as the customers buy them. As you can see in the picture, three new flower buntings are almost ready. There is a completed cross stitch picture, embroidered by Durene Jones pattern in the background. It is named “Let’s drink tea and eat cake”. This picture always stands on my desk and gives me a lot of joy.
The last Christmas bunting at CrochetCabinetCrafts this year. No more Christmas garlands, because my main customers are from the USA. And we are well aware that delivery during the holidays is very problematic and takes much longer than usual. The bunting crochet of twelve different green colour shades Christmas Trees, decorated with buttons. The garland is approximately 150 cm long; each tree is 6,5 cm in height. I want to point out that this bunting is one of a kind. I have no more this type of buttons. Thus, I will be unable to repeat it next year.
