Labels for Sewing and Knitting Projects - BellaMental on Etsy

Labels for Sewing and Knitting Projects - BellaMental on Etsy

I ordered labels to sew into my projects from a lovely shop on Etsy - BellaMental - the labels are exactly what I needed!  I ♥love♥ them. 

BellaMental ships to Canada and the order arrived quickly and well packaged.

Thank you Lisa at BellaMental!  She has reasonable shipping fees!  And her labels are great!!

I'd previously ordered from another Etsy shop - back in 2012 - and when I needed more and returned to that other shop, the shipping rates in that other shop had gone up from $3.75 up to $7.35 - making them more pricey than I'd budgeted for. So no order for that other shop!  That's when I went searching for someone else.  :)  Thank goodnes for BellaMental!  There when I needed her!


Watch your shipping costs on Etsy - and remember, there's usually another shop with comparable products just waiting to provide you with what you're looking for!

Shop Local: AnyBoxToday.com - great boxes!

AnyBoxToday.com - great boxes!

Usually I don't respond to emails, but I got one from AnyBoxToday.com and I checked out their website and they looked legit, so I took them up on their offer of free samples.

They have GREAT boxes that will fit the "slot of doom" - that size restriction that Canada Post uses to determine if you can ship by lettermail or parcel. 

And they have several sizes that FIT!!!

NOTE:  Keep in mind, what's inside your box may result in shipping as a parcel depending on where you are shipping (eg. USA you can only ship paper via lettermail).

Check out their website at AnyBoxToday.com and look for them on facebook too.

Give them a try!

Time to Turn Back the Clocks!

Well, it’s that time of year again — time to “fall back” one hour!

I ♥love♥ the extra hour of sleep.


So, remember there is the time change Sunday a.m. and you'll need to set your clocks back an hour.

Enjoy the “extra” hour of sleep!
