Postage Update

With the majority of September kits now shipped, I have discovered the kits to be lighter than I expected. While it is possible that this may vary, for the time being I have reduced the shipping cost of the kits. Kits from October onwards will reflect this updated rate, and I will be sending a gift out to each person who purchased a September kit and paid full postage, and to all subscribers who have pre-paid. The gift will reflect the amount of overpayment, but if you'd rather a refund (for example, those of you who have pre-paid 3 or 6 months), please just email me to let me know :)

International customers will receive a credit on their next invoice, and next month's kit will be weighed to determine exact shipping before invoicing.

The add-on kits were shipped at $2.50 postage so no change was needed there.

Gallery

Check out the Q Tea flickr gallery here, filling up with all of your fabulous creations! If you've created a layout or project featuring even just one or two Q Tea items, please feel free to send me your images for including in the gallery - I really appreciate all these awesome contributions.

The invoices have gone out for all of September's kits and the add-on kits - if you've been missed somehow, please email me to let me know :)

Watch this space - images of the October kit will be uploaded in the last week of September.

The March Hare's Garden

Though commonly referred to as 'The Mad Hatter's Tea Party', the name of the party in question was, in fact, simply 'The Mad Tea Party'. The Mad Tea Party actually took place in the garden of the March Hare, giving us the title of Q Tea's first add-on kit. You'll find elements of madness along with the sunshine and colour of a garden in Spring. Enjoy!

Please note that this kit is not included in any subscriptions, and is offered in addition to the monthly kits. Unlike the monthly kits, no add-on kits have been pre-ordered or set aside.

'The March Hare's Garden' costs $17.50 plus postage, making it a flat $20 for Australian customers. The add-on kits will ship on Tuesday the 4th September, and thereafter as ordered. Please email me if you would like to place an order!
