Spring Break coming a little early at A Crystal Garden

A Crystal Garden's website will be closed from April 1 - April 19 for a much needed Spring Break. Those of you who are asking what in the world will I be doing if I am not making hair bows?? The answer is lots!
Here is a little list:
  1. Changing closets and drawers from winter to spring and summer clothes.
  2. Working in the yard sprucing things up for spring
  3. Playing with my kids who will be on Spring Break from the 8th - 20th
  4. Visiting the Zoo
  5. Cleaning out preparing for the biggest garage sale EVER!
  6. Visiting the park on every nice day available
  7. Reading a book
  8. Playing games with my kids every time they ask.
  9. I could go on and on ---but lets just say my house and my kids need some quality Mom time where I am not obsessed with the pile of ACG orders waiting to be created and shipped out.
We reopen on April 19th - there just might be a newsletter with some sales! So keep an eye out.

Our newest Customer Cutie!

Thanks so much to "mom" Diana for sending in this adorable customer cutie. Once I get caught up a bit on orders this sweetie will be joining all the others on our website. I can't tell you how much I LOVE getting pictures of girls wearing ACG hair bows. It just brightens up my day. :o)

I am often asked.....

Why doesn't A Crystal Garden have sales? To be honest I price my items as low as possible to make bows affordable all the time! At many bow sites you will find little bows similar to my Petite Baby Bows selling for as much as $6 a piece. While I think that is a crazy price and myself would never pay it when I know there are those out there like myself making good quality bows for reasonable prices, there is a method to the madness. If I price my bows in that price range it allows me to have nice 30%-40% off sales every now and then and not be making bows for pennies. If I had that kind of a sale I wouldn't even be covering all my costs.

So no - I don't have sales but I do offer no shipping weekends once in awhile and during the summer I have 50% off sample sales. I have also been known to throw in a free bow based on sales amounts. Sign up for our newsletter to know when these special events occur!

Really isn't it nice to have stuff "on sale" all the time. :o)
