𝒫𝐿𝐸𝒜𝒮𝐸, help us by choosing handmade gifts with enough time to be prepared and shipped. Upgrading shipping to USPS Priority Mail at checkout typically decreases shipping transit time, but DOES NOT decrease the amount of production time we need to create your handmade item. We do not offer "Rush" production out of fairness to each of our customers who placed orders before you.
From Dec 12 - 26, our order processing time will increase to 10-15 business days in order to allow us time to enjoy our holidays. This is in addition to actual shipping time. On Dec 27, we will resume our standard order processing time of 5-10 business days.

𝒫𝒮𝒜 | There are only 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐬 behind this business. We create each item, prepare each order for shipping, then hand deliver every package in-person to our central post office. We operate four art businesses plus a brick & mortar shop in the historic French Quarter. We manage ALL aspects of these businesses, like communications, website management, online sales, social media, scheduling, public relations, etc. We can do all without the benefit of an outsourced production team or bots because we are organized, but WE NEED YOUR HELP.

• USPS Priority Mail upgrade typically decreases shipping transit time (typically 1-3 business days), but it DOES NOT reduce our production or processing times.
• You'll receive a Shipping Notification once we have prepared your Order for shipping, which will contain your tracking number. Your tracking number can also be found in your Order History. • Please do not message us on multiple platforms or social media with shipping time inquiries, which only serves to slow down our overall response time.
• We're not responsible for postal delivery delays. Once a package leaves our hands, we cannot control how long it takes to arrive to your address. However, feel free to reach out and we'll send you info on how to file a Missing Mail request with USPS.
