If life gives you lemons

image from wikipedia

Two days ago, Singapore passed the Lemon Law.

What this means is that from 1 September 2012, the consumer can get the retailer to repair or replace the defective item. If this is not done 'within a reasonable time or without significant inconvenience' to the consumer, he can choose to either keep the item but demand a discount, or return it for a full refund.

While I've not stated this on the blog, Bunny Bags, with immediate effect, will honour this lemon law. This means that if there are defects within the first 6 months of purchase, email me for a replacement or refund.

To be fair, while I've had numerous compliments (thank you!) I can recall 2 negative feedback. Actually, my customers are very kind.

Customer 1 informed me that the fabric ran in the wash and the colour bled out slightly.

Customer 2 had a burst pouch but thought she overloaded it.

While I triple-sew stress points and take extra care, I'm not able to predict usage nor how the materials I get will function. In some cases I make prototypes so I'll know but I don't do this all the time.

Anway, just for the record, any items purchased from BunnyBags, Tobias' Shoppe or Tiffany's Shoppe will be backed by the lemon law from today.

Have a blessed day!

Good news and bad news

Bad news first - my camera's out of action for a week. I accidentally left my only memory card in a friend's laptop. I could use the camera's onboard memory to take a few pics but I think I'll focus my time on other things...which leads me to

Good news - come 29 February 2012 (Singapore time), we're having a 1 day sale with a 25% storewide on checkout price at both Tobias' Shoppe and Tiffany's Shoppe. More details nearer the date. Check out both shoppes in the meantime. More stuff will be added :-)

Have a blessed  evening!

Eco plastic

Do you like Ferrero Rocher? I've liked it for a long time. I like it even more today 'cos I picked up the plastic display tray and voila! Do you like it? I put some of Tobias' Shoppe and Tiffany's Shoppe stuff on it so you can't see it. It's clear plastic anyway. Super useful for displaying smaller items :-)

The Fairprice uncle was a bit surprised when I asked if I could have it. After all, I suspect they would throw the display tray away after that level was cleared and it happened to be clear when I passed by.

Point is, do your bit for our world. Reuse, reduce, recycle. Even plastic.

Have a blessed day!

Waiting patiently

I need to wait for DS and DD this afternoon. They'll be attending TeenXcite and then we'll be attending the next service 'cos we'll be witnessing a friend's baptism. I could go to the library to read since I've not had much time to read recently but I packed this box of stuff to sew just in case the sewing itch starts. I pack such boxes to the pool sometimes. Nothing quite so relaxing as sewing blind stitches and finishing off an item.
The items in today's box are meant for Tobias' Shoppe. I also included the plastic packaging and tag besides the needle, thread (bobbin) and thread cutter, buried beneath all these.
Aside, DD cooked lunch for us all by herself today :-)

Have a blessed day!

Announcing…

DS and DD are setting up their own blogshop.

I think it’s a good learning opportunity for them since they’re doing most of the work, ie. setting up the shop, pricing, policies, shipping, packing, descriptions, marketing, photos (though I helped this round) etc. My part is just to supply the products to sell and give advice, if they ask.

As an encouragement, they’re splitting the revenue. They’ll have to tithe and pay for shipping and other incidentals but they’re welcome to use what’s available at home.

Would you encourage and show them your support, too, by signing up for the newsletter, helping to share this or buying something… LOL?

Thanks in advance!

Have a blessed day :-)
