Canada Post Update

 
Unfortunately, the dispute at Canada Post remains unresolved. Canada Post has issued a notice to employees that they will be changing the terms of employment beginning Friday, July 8. This will likely result in a strike or lock out. If so, any mail already in the system will remain there until resolution is achieved.
My last shipping date through Canada Post, before the 8th will be Wednesday, July 6. Wild Woman will remain open and I will continue to contact customers individually to achieve the most satisfactory options for each person. If a strike occurs, Courier shipping will be available in Canada and the US for an additional fee. Quotes are available upon request.
I will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as they are available. Hopefully, resolution will be quickly achieved with minimal disruption and delays. I regret this inconvenience to my customers and hope you will contact me with any questions or concerns. My thanks to all of you who have already been most patient and understanding!

Canada Post ~ Possible Strike

 
Please know that, unfortunately, Canada Post may have a work stoppage as early as July 2.  Orders placed this week, within Canada and internationally may not arrive before a strike begins.
Customers placing orders this week will be individually contacted to ensure awareness of possible delays in delivery of purchases. Wednesday, June 29 will be my last shipping date prior to the possible work stoppage.  Courier Service, which is unaffected by any issues at Canada Post, is available for Canadian and US orders for an additional fee – please contact me for a quote for this delivery service to your destination.
I am closely watching the situation. Hopefully, all will be resolved quickly and successfully, with minimum interruptions to mail service and inconvenience to my valued customers. At the moment, Wild Woman Jewelry will remain open and I will update you with any new information as it becomes available.  Please contact me with any questions. Thank you!

2015 Guide to Holiday Decorating


Get ready -- here is this year's complete guide on one sentence.

Do Less, Enjoy More.


I love the holidays and I love decorating, but I'm tired. I'm tired of all the effort, the clean up, the cajoling hubs to line the entire roofline and every tree in the yard with lights, the frozen dead branches in January (or the naked ones in May :), the pine needles all over the house, the putting up and the taking down and I repeat, the clean up and the worry about the boughs on the mantle spontaneously combusting if the fire gets too hot. 


So this year, I've decided to lighten up - ALL of it. And, I'm excited to pick just a few things that I will do and we will enjoy and will welcome family and friends to our home this holiday season.


Outside, I've filled one (not 7) windowboxes with evergreen boughs, a few logs from the woodpile and twinkly lights. I've made a 'bouquet' in the basket of my much loved vintage green metal shopping cart.  There are 3 (not 30) strands of lights in total and I love them.  They looked so pretty last night after dark and I appreciated every twinkle! 


My rusty milk tin and this old window frame hold the rest of the boughs I cut from our own overgrown trees. And while I love walking in the woods this time of year, these boughs needed to be trimmed anyway, were already in our yard and look beautiful on our back step. I hung two huge rusty metal stars from a beautiful snowy celebration at school many years ago among the pine trees by the driveway.  They are lovely when the snow settles on them. 


Tomorrow, I'm going to visit the Christmas storage 'closet' under the basement stairs looking for a few bits that mean Christmas at our house. In a few weeks, we'll put up a tree that fills the house with the fragrance of evergreen, fill some bowls with old ornaments, build a cosy fire and set the table. It sounds heavenly to me!


And I think we'll be ready.
