Updates

As of today you will notice some minor changes to our website. Previously each time I added new items it would become a new post, and as items were purchased I would write "currently sold" next to the item. This started becoming disorganized and not user-friendly. Therefore, the site is essentially divided into 3 main posts and will remain that way even when new items are added or sold:

1. "Blossoms for Sale" which lists ALL items in stock and available for purchase
2. "Past Products - Sold!" which lists all items that have been sold (this is more for me to keep a digital portfolio of sorts)
3. "Pricing and Purchase Information" which outlines important information for ordering.

The more significant change to update you on has been to the items' prices. Thankfully in only a few short weeks I have sold a significant amount of headbands for just starting out. However, as this project develops and I gain more experience, I am seeing more clearly how this all plays out in terms of costs of materials, time spent on making them, what the average amount is going to Hailey's Hope with each sale, etc. I am realizing that for this to benefit Hailey's Hope I need to raise the prices. (I will mention that previously the price of a headband was around 4-5 dollars; it was costing around 2-3 dollars to make so about only $2 was going to Hailey's Hope for each headband sold which is not a lot.) So you will notice that I have not drastically increased the prices. Even with the increase and current price these headbands are cheaper than most headbands like them online - and you really can't find these in stores. These prices are still a steal and everyone should feel great about purchasing a headband because you are paying for the materials in your headband and everything else is being donated to a good cause. See the pricing post for more information.

Thank you to everyone who has already purchased a headband. For everyone else, please consider purchasing one or more and helping a good cause, and of course, please share about us with friends and family who you think might be interested. Oh, and don't forget to "like" us on Facebook! :)

Blessings!
