Well, we have certainly learned these past few weeks to never underestimate the power of a girl on a quest for beautiful art materials!
The response for the premier offering of The Gilded Girls Stash Society was far beyond our expectations, and we sold out all available spots before the photos were even up!
We had mentioned in our original posting on December 1st that we were opening up registration early for those of you who were willing to "fly blind" with us, and boy, did you ever!!
Our sincere apologies to those of you who were waiting for photos to make the commitment... and a giant cyber hug to those of you who took the plunge. We think you will be very happy with your box of goodies!
For the month of February, we are opening up a handful of additional spots, and the format is the same. The Paypal link for February will be added on Wednesday, January 12th at 3pm CST, and when these extra spots are filled, the button will automatically read "sold out". Photos of the entire kit will not be available online until February 1st. If there are any spots remaining, you may still sign up then!
We have chosen to operate the Stash Society in this manner in order to be able to offer all of you the very best products we can find. We are not merely ordering new stock from scrapbook and embellishment companies, where inventory is stable. We are offering a mixture of new and vintage materials that are hard to find, sometimes fleeting in nature, and often require a bit of a tweak before they are truly "Gilded". For these reasons, it is critical that we have a fairly accurate count of how many we are buying for well in advance. We understand that this does not work for everyone, but it is the business model that works best in this instance.
We anticipate 2-3 more months of slowly growing the number of participants until we hit our maximum, at which point we will be on a permanent wait list. Fingers crossed! :)
We are also hard at work on an online community for Gilded Girls Stash Society (GGSS) members that will feature tutorials, tons of photos, and a message board for questions, sharing projects, and camaraderie! We are definitely looking forward to that!
One last thing... if you have a Facebook account, please be sure to click the link on the top right-hand side of this page to "like" us! There is quite a bit of chatter day-to-day, and questions being asked and answered about our company. We would love to see you there!
Thanks, everyone!!! xoxo
