holiday guidelines

Ok people. Here are the guidelines for holiday ordering (which is coming up VERY soon). You know me and my last minute instructions. SORRY.

To make up for the procrastination on my end I am going to be offering up something I never have before for those of you who take advantage of our 'early black friday' sale. We typically do not discount on digitizing and embroidery but for one day only I'll be including those when I release the coupon code Friday morning. 

There is some fine print to make sure your order will qualify for Christmas delivery which I'll outline below. This mainly pertains to custom aprons, since prepping logos for those takes the most time. Clutches & monogrammed ribbons are easier to prep so if that is what you are ordering just make sure to order by 12/1 and they will be delivered before Christmas day. I am only able to guantee delivery within the continental US you guys. I hate that, but I've had a few issues come up in the last couple months and I don't feel comfortable guaranteeing delivery when I can't control customs inspections. 

-----------------------

1. Last day to order aprons & toolkits is next Tuesday, 11/15. PLEASE include your logo (a large jpg/png is fine) in an email or attached to your etsy conversation as soon as you order. If we do not receive your logo or embroidery file within 24 hours of purchase, we cannot guarantee you will receive your aprons in time.

2. Your logo will be sent to our digitizer immediately after receipt and we will be back in touch within 2 business days with your quote. Approval and payment need to be made within 24 hours of receipt and then you are ready to go!

-----------------------

That's it! Easy peasy lemon squeezey (as Beckett would say). Feel free to email me with any questions and if you want to get a jump on ordering, go ahead and email me your logo NOW so that we can get you a quote. hello@oatmeallace.com

Can't wait to work with all of you for holiday gifting. Don't forget, I have gift cards as well if you aren't quite sure what to buy!

maternity leave & shop status

after having Beckett I took a couple of weeks 'off' and then slowly started working again, making clutches while he would sleep. turns out newborns sleep A LOT - just not always at the times you want them to. HA!

this time around I have a rambunctious almost four year old to wrangle, I'll be recovering from a c-section and in all honesty, I'm pretty nervous/anxious about how the transition from one to two is going to go. with that being said, I'm going to give myself a bit more time to ease back into work and enjoy the fleeting newborn days and the hopefully smooth introduction of big brother and baby sister.

SO, on to the information you all want to know…turnaround/response times for orders placed over the next 6 weeks. first of all, I will be answering emails while out on leave. it may take me a bit longer 

than normal to get back with you, but I'll respond, promise! 

: APRONS :

turnaround will be close to 8 weeks from order date to shipment date.  if you would like a quote for your logo, my digitizer will be on point, so please email a large jpg/png file to hello@oatmeallace.com with 'LOGO QUOTE' in your email subject line. we will get back to you within one business week with a quote. once that is approved and the order is placed, the 8 week period starts. we will not be taking rush orders at this time.

if you need some inspiration for aprons or just want to check out some of the fabulous clients I've had the privilege of working with so far, check out my apron portfolio HERE.

: CLUTCHES :

you will still be able to purchase clutches in the SHOP.  any orders placed starting today through august 20, 2015 will start shipping SEPTEMBER 1, 2015.  please indicate your wedding/event/need by date when you place your order.
