SOLD Stock is Depleting But Still Lots of Awesome Wind Chimes and Suncatchers No New Stock Until 2018 Visit Coast Chimes Now for the Best Selection
Every spring and summer, I work really hard to prepare as much stock as possible for the annual Sunshine Coast Art Crawl. Just before the Art Crawl, I put away all my tools to more than double my gallery space. After the Art Crawl, I now no longer immediately put my workshop back together, instead concentrating on internet sales, packing, shipping, and also keeping the gallery space for locals who drop by for holiday shopping.
This is great, except that my stock goes from relatively huge to dwindling pretty fast. I try to let all my customers know that they really need to order early to get a great selection. Also, it's a great idea to order early because although I pack and ship fast, closer to Christmas I can get backed up with the packing, and the border services / post office can also get overwhelmed somewhat.
So the message is clear: order sooner rather than later. Visit Coast Chimes now, or view my work on Etsy.

Coast Chimes: New, Free Shipping
Artist-made Sea Glass with Handcrafted Brass Chimes Coast Chimes: Now with Free Shipping
For a long time I have paid most of the shipping on my orders to the USA and Canada, but not all the cost. I thought that people would not object to pitching in a bit, as postage is so high. But the trend on the internet has been more and more towards 'free' shipping. Recently Etsy has been rather aggressively urging their sellers to offer free shipping, or discounts, which I think is a little too bad, but I guess they know what they are doing.
So to continue selling on Etsy, I realized I had to probably offer free shipping. That means that the same goes for my website. So now all orders to the USA and Canada ship no additional charge.
See all the great works on Coast Chimes, and enjoy the free shipping.

Beach Combing Wind Chime
Beach Comber's Natural Pacific Driftwood and Beach Stone Wind Chime $195 at Coast Chimes |
Can you believe that part of my job description is beach combing? How cool is that! I am fortunate to live in a place where there are great natural stones and driftwood, and that I just have to do a long hike to find them.
A big difference between the stones and driftwood and my usual artist-made beach glass is that the glass looks its best in sunlight; the stones and driftwood when it is raining, and they get dark and glossy. But whether glass or stone or driftwood, all my designs look great anywhere, anytime.
