I finally have some wooden boxes available for sale. I usually only sell these at Christmas, but they are such great, fabulous boxes I thought I'd make more to sell throughout the year. The ideas for these are limitless...I often use them on my table as a centerpiece and on my mantle...you can stick candles in here...put some fall foliage around them...for Christmas cut some greenery and add a few branches and some berries and you have a beautiful centerpiece...

Just a note to let you know that I'm booked up with Custom Orders until the end of the year.

The first 6 months of 2017 I won't be taking much if any Custom Orders since I'll be burning the midnight oil doing taxes.

New Baby Cards In Stock - Netties Expressions

I've created a few more "new baby" cards. I've been selling a lot of them and nearly ran out of stock. Hence the reason I needed to design some new cards and print them. These cards are available in store and through my online shop.

Antique Dining Room Set “FOR SALE”

Antique Dining Room Set "FOR SALE" - Netties Expressions

This really has nothing to do with Netties Expressions. I have an antique dining room set FOR SALE!

I purchased this set from a family in Winnipeg. The wife wanted to purchase more modern furniture so they put it up for sale. This set has always been sold as a set. They said that they had purchased it from a family who claimed they purchased it from the original owners. Which would make me the fourth owner of this antique dining room set. Apparently it's from sometime around the 1920's. There are some original tags with the furniture but I couldn't find any dates.

I have some updates to share with you regarding my shipping options.

I have found a company who offers courier shipping through FedEx, UPS and DHL, Purolator and Loomis. I will be offering these shipping options now until the Canada Post mail strike or threat of a mail strike is over and mail is actually being moving again.

Shopping Online

Shopping Online - Netties Expressions

Okay, so this is a little introduction to Online Shopping. I know that there is nothing like actually being in the retail location...seeing the products in real...touching them...seeing the quality of the item and the sizing...but it has to work out for you to do retail shopping. You have to have the time or take the time...maybe you have a child or two or three with you and it's just overwhelming to think of dropping by...what if they break something or touch something...this is where Online Shopping comes in.

Shipping Interruption

Shipping Interruption - Netties Expressions

With the potential mail strike by Canada Post, I have made some changes to my shipping. Right now, I'm only doing local pick up in store. If you have a way of getting something to you (ex. someone coming through the area) or would be willing to pay more to have your item(s) shipped via courier, please let me know and I'll do some pricing for you.

I'm hoping that this won't last long. There is a possibility that the mail will still move a few days but it will be very slow moving.

Wood Signs vs Framed Wood Signs

Wood Signs vs Framed Wood Signs - Netties Expressions

I make both wood signs and framed wood signs.

I thought I would explain the difference between the two types today.

Generally speaking, the framed wood signs are made from 3/4" good one side plywood. Most everyone knows how awful the sides of plywood are which is why I frame them. It adds a little bit to the sign...makes it a little bigger, covers the rough, raw edges and dresses the whole sign up.

My regular wood signs are made from pine. The pine wood I use has nice edges which doesn't make it necessary to frame them. I often route the pine edges just to give the edge of the sign a nice rounded edge.
