Hi again everyone!

I have been playing catch up since this winter's preoccupation with precipitation and am almost done clearing the past queue, (knock on wood).  I am also prepping for the NH Renaissance Faire and hope that I will see some of you there!  [link]

As you can see, I don't get onto DA often right now so, if you need a question answered in a timely fashion please do *not* note me here... just drop me an e-mail, or my husband an e-mail, please.  [link]

Thanks very much, happy spring!

Shannon, aka Gypsy~Rose

Hello everyone!

I have good news and not-so-good news.... the not-so-good news is that my workspace got flooded recently, the  I got the flu.  All of this on top of snow, snow and more snow, (which meant tons of snow days for my childrens' schools, i.e. less work time for me).  Due to these onslaught of winter not-so-goodness I have gotten farther behind than I like.

This *does* lead to some good news, though.  1) I am slowly on the mend, knock on wood,  2) My workspace is drying and I am going to attempt a total re-organization, (which will, hopefully, make it a more pleasant and easier-to-work-in space),  3) I am going to do my best to catch up on as many orders as possible this week and have put all but 1 of my shops into vacation mode until I have caught up.

Last, but not least, I am excited for the NH Renaissance Faire and am also working on that... I am excited for spring!  [link]

So, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, to my fantastically patient and understanding customers!  I have not been e-mailing much, as I have been trying to focus on my health and working at the bench, but I will e-mail as often as possible, in the interim.  Please do NOT note me here, though, as I don't log into DA often.  Please go to my contact page for more details on the best methods to get a hold of me, or my husband/e-mail sidekick: [link]

Thanks again, chat with you all soon!

Just a quick note to remind folks that I have two new Artfire shops...  My Fine Jewelry: [link] and My Costume Shop: [link]

Both Shops are having a SALE... 20% off of everything in the shop!  The Costume shop has the prices already adjusted and the Jewelry shop has a code, (shown in the welcome message in the shop).

The Jewelry sale END TONIGHT and the Costume sale ENDS FRIDAY NIGHT, so don't delay!  A lot of the items already had a discounted rate for the custom finish etc. so this is a good sale.  


Thank you for stopping by, please remember to bookmark these shops and feel free to share, the more the merrier!

In celebration of 2011 there are 2 bits of news for you:

1) I have two new Artfire Shops:

    Che' Designs, (my designer jewelry) [link], and GypsyRosesDotOrg, (everything else, from horns to ears, masks to tails etc.) [link] now the Jewelry shop has 33 items and is being built up more by the day!  The GypsyRosesDotOrg shop only has 1 for the moment but will be catching up quickly so please bookmark them!  I will be showcasing these shops right now, as I want to see how Artfire does versus Etsy.


2) I am having a BIG Sale, in fact, this is the BIGGEST sale I have ever done!!!

    @ Che' Designs Shop: [link]
    20% off of *$20 or more in my new Fine Jewelry Shop!  Just use code: 20off20 to get your discount!

* (totals do not include s/h).

** This sale DOES include custom finishes, (which usually cost $15.  Example: Custom, Rusty Vega, Aries Horns would be $68 + $15 = $83 - 30% = $58.10).  With the GypsyRoses.Org orders I will have to manually credit you for the discount.  Please use codes: 20off20, 30off30, FREETAROT and FREEGC when you checkout... put them in the comments section so I can credit them please.

Hi all!

I got caught up faster than expected, (which was a nice surprise)!  So, due to this, I have a few last horns in my "Last Minute" area of my etsy shop  [link]

Today is the cutoff, though, my anniversary is this weekend and I have lots to prep., so I can't be on the computer, or at the post office, so get those orders in today if you want to TURN HEADS THIS HALLOWEEN!

Thanks, happy shopping!

Hi again!

I have been able to keep up with orders, knock on wood, so I have updated most of my Etsy listings to end tonight, (for U.S. customers); [link]

Please get your orders in ASAP and let me know, if you miss this date, what you're looking at to see if I'll be able to get it to you in time for the holiday!

Thanks!
Shannon aka Gypsy~Rose

HALLOWEEN ORDERS:

1) Non-U.S. customers:  Gypsy~Rose ended non-U.S. orders on 10.8.2010... no more will be taken for this Halloween season.  Thank you!

2) Gypsy~Rose is no longer filling and items that are made to order from her site: GypsyRoses.Org, they ended on 10.15.2010...  If you have ordered an item for Halloween, after this date, it will be treated as a *normal* order... it will be processed within 4-6 weeks as made-to-order items are made by hand, by just Gypsy~Rose.

3) Gypsy~Rose *IS* taking In Stock Orders, from her Etsy Shop, until 10.20.2010, (some until the 22nd)!  (She extended the date).  She will be adding horns as quickly as she can make them but don't delay, most big horns sell the day they are posted this time of year!  Please REMEMBER to order the Priority Mail item, listed in the shop, so that you will get your item in time, (and this fee includes tracking).

IN STOCK / ETSY SHOP:  [link]


Thank you, Happy Halloween from GypsyRoses.Org!

Hello everyone!

It has been a busy year and I thought I should post a little update for folks, now that my Halloween season is already starting up!

1> HOOVES:  My hooves are NOT for sale, yet.  In an attempt to keep up with 2 kiddos and 2 businesses, (technically 3 now), I have had to put them on the back burner and keep them there, simmering, for longer then expected.  My husband is keeping a list of people interested in hooves on a queue, please drop him an e-mail if you're interested in ordering a pair(s) and he'll let you know once I have a completed design to work from.  speedratser@gmail.com


2> HALLOWEEN CUSTOM ORDERS:  So you'd like some horns but want a different design than I have shown, or a fancy finish etc.?  I *do* take custom orders but this is the busiest time of year for me so, if you'd like something custom please make sure to CONTACT ME ASAP, as I probably won't be able to take many after the 15th of September.  gypsyroses.org@gmail.com please carbon copy this e-mail to my husband, also speedratser@gmail.com .  He'll be helping me with customers this season.


3> HALLOWEEN MADE-TO-ORDER ITEMS:  Most of the items I make are made-to-order, this means that I get your order and then I make it.  This is the reason for my 4-6 week order process.  If you want an item with a specific color, (that I offer for pre-set colors... the squares of color on the item pages), PLEASE ORDER NO LATER THAN THE 15th OF SEPTEMBER!


4> RUSH ORDER FEES:  This is the fee that I charge if something, ABOVE, is ordered and needs to be to the customer before 6 weeks.  This helps with the increase in s/h of materials as well as s/h to the customer.  Here are the fees, by date:

--------> ORDER PLACED BY 9.15.2010....  NO FEE
--------> ORDER PLACED BY 9.22.2010.... $25 FEE
--------> ORDER PLACED BY 9.29.2010.... $30 FEE
--------> ORDER PLACED BY 10.6.2010.... $35 FEE
--------> ORDER PLACED BY 10.15.2010... $40 FEE

IF YOU ORDER AND DO NOT PAY YOUR RUSH ORDER FEE, AS SHOWN ABOVE: your order will be processed as a regular order and probably will *not*, get to you in time.

NO HALLOWEEN ORDERS WILL BE PROCESSED AFTER 10.15.2010!  I will make the order and ship it, as a non-rush order, which probably will *not* get it to you in time for the holiday.


5> F.A.Q.: "WHY HAVE A RUSH ORDER FEE?"  I am Gypsy~Rose, I can't call in sick or take a day off to care for my children and have someone else fill the orders for me.  I do 100% of the process, (creation, photography, website updating and posting, e-mailing and more!), and have 2 young children, (that just started school... the germs will start coming home soon, if not already).    

Most of my items have to be made one at a time and the creation process is a multi-day, (or multi-week), process.  I can't just bang 10 pairs of horns out in a day... it is a long, drawn out, process to make these designs... but they're worth it in the end!


6> F.A.Q.: "BESIDES ORDERING EARLY, HOW CAN I KEEP THE COSTS DOWN ON ORDERING HORNS?":  I have started carrying stock, on horns and some masks, over the last few years.  This way folks can get horns, in time for Halloween, without paying extra fees.  Many of these designs are custom, so they'll look a little "snazzier" then pre-set colors, (single tone: black, red etc.), so you'll get fantastic horns, on a smaller budget!

IN STOCK HORNS CAN BE FOUND HERE: [link]

IN STOCK HORNS FOR HALLOWEEN WON'T BE FOR SALE AFTER THE 15th OF OCTOBER SO PLEASE ORDER BY 10.15.2010!



I hope this helps to clarify my process and Halloween setup for this year.  The key to getting the horns that you want, without having to pay rush order fees, is to just *order early*!    If people wait until 2 weeks before Halloween they will be hard pressed to get anything but in-stock horns ... which may not be the color or design they'd hoped for.

I look forward to helping you to "be a character" for Halloween!

Hi all!

Sorry it's been so long since I have posted.  I have been busy catching up with orders, after having 2 sick kiddos throughout almost the whole winter!  Hopefully we're all healed up, knock on wood.  

So, what's in the works?!

====> finishing up my horn queue, my last sale did surprisingly well and tapped my materials so I had to order more... which is a problem in winter... it freezes just like water and will be ruined if it freezes.  So, those multiple cold snaps made orchestrating my latest shipment of material tricky but, luckily, my supplier is nice and quick and we got it here in liquid state!

====> working on FINE JEWELRY!  As some of you know, I have a BFA in Metalsmithing & Jewelry and have put my jewelry on the back burner for years, due to the demand for my horns.  Now that I have more bench time, (as long as the family's healthy), I have been making jewelry again, LOVING the process and selling the pieces in my Etsy fine jewelry shop, username: Che4uDesigns [link]

====> Unicorn horns!  I have been redoing most of my unicorn horns, and also increasing the options for size, shape etc..  I just finished one mold yesterday and have a resin option in the works as well as 2 other designs in my regular/hollow material so please e-mail me if you're interested in getting one of the new horns... I'll post pic.s ASAP.  [link]

====> HOOVES!  I know everyone wants these to be at the top of my list but they are the most time intensive and, until I have caught up, will be on the "to be made" queue.  I will be starting with a womens 11 wide / mens 9.5 for my first pair.  Once those are done I will have a better idea of how much to charge and if I need to change any part of the process.  IF YOU WANT HOOVES: please contact my husband, he's keeping track of hoof customers for me and will contact people once I have the design done and de-quirked, if needed.  [link]

====> In-Stock Costume Area: I have been trying to keep the regular Etsy shop stocked and will add more items as I can.  If you need horns before 4-6 weeks, (or ears), this is shop!  I also have some buttons, wands, a crown etc. there!  [link]


I think that's it for the update, I hope you're all doing well and that we can touch base soon!
