Happy New Year! *Update on Shipping*

Orders are currently taking up to 14 business days to ship. After a four day holiday over Christmas I am much more back logged than anticipated. The 14 days is my best guess for once the kids get back in school and I can start moving these orders out of here.

Please be patient during this holiday time. As you know I try to always ship as quickly as possible but this has been an incredible business season for me. Thanks so much!!

Achy hands are also slowing down the process a bit. I used to be able to sew 50 - 100 bows a night and now that number has shrunk. We are a crafty family but I also know I have my Mom's and Grandmom's hands and wont be able to make hair bows forever but will continue as long as I can.

Thank you to all my customers for a really great year!

New at A Crystal Garden!

Double Ruffle is here!

This ribbon is just beautiful and I have no idea what took me so long to catch onto it. I do have limited colors available at this time and am still working on new styles but here is a sneek peek.I also have 5/8" double ruffle on the way for some super cute new Petite Baby Bows.

It's the most wonderful time of the year....

Ok, so this year I don't really believe that but my last starts Pre-K tomorrow three days a week. Two of my kiddos have already been back to school for three weeks so the last makes it the end of the summer for us. We had a super great Labor Day weekend at the beach and what wonderful weather for the last summer splurge.

ACG is back open and ready to begin the super busy fall season. We have a few new products using beautiful Double Ruffle Ribbon coming to the store soon. I don't know what took me so long to fall in love with this super cute ribbon but I will spend some time the next few days coming up with some bow designs.

I also have DRR (double ruffle ribbon) arriving in my most favorite 5/8" size that will be perfect for the Petite Baby Bow.

Off to get a few Ebay auctions rolling! I love taking a summer break from Ebay but it is time to get things up and running full steam.

Summer is coming to and end....

Here at A Crystal Garden there is not much to report during the summer months and not much to blog about. I prepare for the busy fall by restocking all my ribbon and coming up with a couple of new products for the upcoming year. Things will start to really ramp up after our Labor Day holiday. We will be closed from August 29 - September 7 for one last summer celebration with family. Then it is back to the business of bow making!

Ebay auctions will begin again after the 7th and expect a newsletter shortly after that too. I got some really cute new ribbon in over the summer and have even more ordered.

Summer has been great fun with the kids but now it is time to get back to work!

Two more customer cuties!

I apologize for this one taking me so long to get posted. I had original photos that I had to scan and they got lost in the mess on my computer desk. Everything is all cleaned up and here are two more super cute customer cuties!

Back to Bow Making!

Hard at work and making hair bows! Vacation was wonderful and now we are open for business!

Double cute customer cuties!!

Happy 4th of July!!
