Hi everyone, Linda here. I wanted to take a moment to give you a heads up on some happenings with The Funkie Junkie Boutique.
It's been very busy these last few months with all the pre-orders generated from the new products released at Winter 2014 CHA. This is the first year I have offered so many pre-order options and it's been a juggling act for me to coordinate mailing all the products as they arrived. Most of the products have come into stock but a few are still outstanding. If you have any questions on products that you have not received, please feel free to email me at thefunkiejunkie@gmail.com. I will check on the status of your pre-ordered product and get back to you.
The big news is that The Funkie Junkie Boutique is growing. It’s gotten to the point where the boutique has outgrown my home-based business. I have just signed a lease for commercial space and will be moving the shop into its new home and will be hiring a part-time employee. I want to assure you that while TFJB is growing that I do not have my sights set on becoming a super store. I love being a boutique that focuses on providing a fun and funkie range of crafting products and an enjoyable shopping experience as well as catering to individual customer service. My growth and expansion will help me serve you better!
This expansion comes with a down side and that is that I will be closing for a couple of weeks. I thought it was a good time to take a few days off and then will be closed for inventory shifting and organizing in the new space. The Boutique will not take any orders after midnight Eastern Time on May 1st through May 16th. The website will reopen on May 16th for you to start placing orders again and orders will begin shipping (first come/first served) on May 19th. Please be assured that if you have any questions or issues with an order during the time I am closed, you can email me at thefunkiejunkie@gmail.com. I get the emails on my phone and will respond to your inquiry in a timely manner.
As a result of this the usual Friday Focus posts will be missing from our Frilly and Funkie weekly schedule for a couple of weeks, but they will be back on May 16th in time for The Boutique re-opening.
It's going to be an exciting few months here at The Funkie Junkie Boutique and I look forward to serving you in the future.
Linda
