Wait, you're closing just for December right, and NOT permanently right?

I will be closing for at least December and part of January, NOT permanently! I love my job, my customers, and having the freedom to spend time with my family too much to close permanently!

I am due Dec 13th but was a little early with my first born, so want to make sure I have enough time to get out orders before baby gets here :)

I'm going to order some Xmas gifts for Secret Santa early then. I've got a few vendors tagged for my holiday purchases!

I am hoping to get Christmas stuff listed in the next few weeks for that reason :)

So I don't normally post new seasonal items after the initial release, but I had a great suggestion from a customer - a Big Bruce bat toy!

It is still 3/4" pine but instead of the 2.5" x 5" size of the standard Bruce, this guy is a whopping 5.5" x 10"! The beads are also scaled up a bit - Bruce usually features 4mm, 6mm, and 8mm beads, but his big brother sports 8mm and 10mm. I only have a few of these available as they also come with 2" bolts and 2" wide washers to accommodate larger bars and bar spacing that I don't have a lot of left currently.

Anyways, I just liked him so much I thought I would give some other people a chance to grab one :)

Actual size difference!

Wow, he’s so big! I have one of your balsa Dino’s, and now it’s chewed all the way down to the hardware. I might have to go bigger.

haha well I don't know what my options are for bigger balsa yet! The wider the planks, the higher the cost, so l will have to see if it is cost effective or not :)

Just FYI - Any of the toys that use the hardwood leaves (about 8 items from the fall collection) are currently on backorder. I have more on order and they should be here no later than 9/20 (likely sooner but need time to drill and dye, too). So those items you will be able to order still, but orders will not ship out until parts are in hand.

Leaves are back in stock and so are the toys that use them :)

Please note that effective now, processing times have been increased to 7 to 10 business days because I have so many appts and things going on with the baby, birthdays, and holidays not to mention current open orders, that 3 to 5 days is next to impossible for me to make!

I'm finally getting caught up! :faint: Most orders are going out in about 5 days right now, but still allow up to 10 as this is the busiest time of year for the shop!

Just a note, if there is anything you absolutely must have from the Halloween and Fall collections, get your order in soon! I'm starting to get low on some items that I either can't or am choosing not to restock at this point of the year :)
