Angels Haven Horse Rescue............

Published: 03-29-2012 07:44pm
Hey everyone, back in Ohio my mother works very closely with a horse rescue and I try to help when possible with my business. Unfortunately Ohio laws do not protect horses as they view them as livestock. So therefor whenever they need to r...escue these poor animals they have to actually purchase them from the abuser in order to remove from their awful surroundings. With the Easter holiday around the corner and many buying candy, I thought I would throw their fundraiser link out there as any help they receive helps these amazing and beautiful creatures. They have a Chocolate/Candy fundraiser via Malley's Chocolates at: http://www.malleys.com/angel... » Read More

Welcome to Artfire, Goodbye Etsy...........

Published: 01-26-2012 09:54pm
As you all know back in November we set up shoppe here on Artfire with the intentions of making a perm. move from Etsy. Well, the time has come and we are now completely on Artfire and no longer selling on Etsy. We decided to make this change due to the astronomical hundreds of dollars we were spending in fees and commisions each month. With the current economy and increases from suppliers, we just didn't want to make any larger increases to our prices in order to continue selling on etsy. We are so happy you followed us and we look forward to continuing to offer you the same Great Quality and products! Here's to Happy Crafting and Creating, W... » Read More

Price Increases

Published: 01-23-2012 03:23pm
The one thing I hate having to do is increase prices. During the break I have been doing a lot of configuring and trying to figure out the best options. Unfortunately with the economy the suppliers have raised their prices along with their shipping costs of the supplies. I have played around sampling different waxes at a cheaper price, but I am just not happy with the quality. I feel that as a customer you deserve what you pay for; high quality and detail that you have come to expect. It is for this reason that I have decided not to change my wax and keep the same that I have been using for nearly 10 years now. As a result with the price increas... » Read More
