custom orders are closing by this weekend

CUSTOM CLOSED AS OF NOON HAWAII TIME:)

aloha dancers, my moody teenager will be here next week and summer begins so I am closing custom orders as of May 23rd..if you have an order in with me right now dont worry (but please write me if we are in the middle of clarifying colors or size of silk or what not)

If you havent heard from me in a few days about your custom orders I will be getting back to you asap to let you know if what you desire is something I have in stock.

I may be able to squeak out a few custom orders over summer but they will be for coordinated clothing sets.

From Memorial day weekend till probably Labor day I'll be on summer break with the boys and listing in the store what I have already made but no new custom as we'll be at craft fairs and sitting on a beach:)

love you guys have a fun summer..i may be back with bigger and better boobies hehehehe

Re: custom orders are closing by this weekend

Jes, I've been waiting oh so patiently for another Snakecharmer...but I can tell those aren't the colors you've been into this season. What are the chances I could get me one (or two...rectangle or small wings)?

Re: custom orders are closing by this weekend

Hi Jesennia, I've purchase three sets of the silk crepe de chine ruana and silk habotai sarong/pareo to cut up and make silk skirts and tops, but I need four more in different colors. Would you consider e-mailing me to discuss what's available? jubae at cableone dot net

Re: custom orders are closing by this weekend

Ezma I'd be happy to..I'll be making more crepe sets for a hotel boutique so you can email me your color choices.

I apologize as i know you are waiting on one package..the one from hawaii you probably received but mom in arizona sent out your second one..she's slow and has arthritis poor old lady so i'm going to go ahead and do all the shipping from hawaii again

even tho i hate post offices (see blog lol)

Re: custom orders are closing by this weekend

i can check on fabric prices it MAY be cheaper for me to buy some crepe de chine fabric and dye it if you are making it into skirts..

Re: custom orders are closing by this weekend

Wait -- what??? I didn't know you were taking custom orders! Dang it.

Are you doing the giant ultralights? Big half circles? Or just rectangles?

I WANT stuff!!!

Re: custom orders are closing by this weekend

I am with Lauren on the surprise - there ARE custom orders? Any chance for short gypsy tops and skirts? Or am I totally barking up the wrong tree here?

And, in the case of best news (ie. I can order) - do I email you? Man, I am leaving for Folktours camp tomorrow morning, so I guess I'll have to make up my mind quick anyways.

Oh no! Let's talk about that Volcanic. I think I'm ready to go with my gut feeling here, and not worry about seeing an "unflourished" image with all the colors.

Do you have it in a 3 yard rectangle heavier kinda silk? I'll eat rice and beans and frozen veggies for a month, and whatever is in cans in the cupboard...

Re: custom orders are closing by this weekend

Hi Jess,

I spoke to you a few months ago about veils to match a Green Bella, it consist of forest green (which I mentioned that preferred to be little than forest so not to be so dark) and bluish purple. You asked I minded if your new associate do them, of which I had not problem with. I am trying to look up the style, but it was kinda spider webby looking.

Let me know if that is still okay,

Thalia

Re: custom orders are closing by this weekend

Alright, here's a list of things I want, you tell me what's possible.

One large half-circle Turqoise Isis
One large half-circle Salivate or Rrrred
One ultralight rectangle Snakecharmer OR Coco Chanel

(I love the large half-circles for dancing in tiny restaurant spaces, but only need one. I could probably get someone to split a pair of Salivate sometime, though, if I can't get it custom)

Re: custom orders are closing by this weekend

i have 6 mm silk left..

anyone who posted before this last message can probably get a custom order if you email me with details by tomorrow

some silk may not be in stock ..right now i'm waiting on more hc silk to arrive in about two weeks-ish (that's JUST til the silk arrives then i have to dye it )

everything else is booked..i'm sorry i cant take any more right now but if you posted on bhuz or emailed me before this message then i'm already in contact with you

PLEASE email akaisilksinfo@yahoo.com

nap time yawn:)

ps i MAY be doing some very short term easy fast wedding gift sets over summer, they include a collection of silks with accessories such as nightgown, robe, sarong, velvet bag, charmeuse pillow cover, etc. but no ombres

Re: custom orders are closing by this weekend

Gosh Jes,
You know I will always want some new veils. I really want a large set of the light weight hc veils in the new Ohia Lehua color. I will be patient and wait until the fall when you will perhaps do more. I was just waiting to hear when you were going to do more of those and then get on the list. I hope you have a great summer with the boys. Lord knows you need the break. We are still perhaps trying to plan a trip. Johns room mate there called again yesterday to get us to come. TTYL.
