The End Is Near….But So Is a New Beginning
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
My kids woke up to the living room in disarray, and that silly leprechaun dyed their milk green!! We will finish off our day baking some green cupcakes and hunting for a pot of gold. What are you all doing for the holiday?
Business Q & A
As you all have noticed there is no turn-around time on the website, this is because I have gotten slammed this month with orders. I have received 2-3 months worth of orders in just the last 17 days! So please be patient! I fully expect the orders to fly out after March 31.
Why am I still running sales if I am so busy?
I do this at the request of my customers. Since there is only 2 weeks left to order, I’m trying to do as much as possible for everyone who have been so loyal to me. This will give any of you who like my work one last chance to get a truly customized order.

If you are waiting on an order, I ask that you do not send me rude emails. I am fully aware of how long you have been waiting, and I’m sorry. I wish I was super woman! But, I’m not. I’ve been so busy building these orders that I didn’t even know my 2 year old said “poop paste” for “tooth paste”, which apparently she has been doing for a few months now. My husband is ALWAYS the one to give her a bath, read to them, and get them ready for bed. I am a wife and mother of 3 (a 5 year old with an attitude, a 2 year old who can’t keep herself out of trouble, and a 5 month old who craves attention). Need I say more? I have to take care of myself in the midst of all of this also. So please be understanding. I promise, if you are nice to me, I will want to work that much faster to get your order out.
I’m not saying don’t ask me the status of your order(s). I’m just simply asking for a little politeness (even if you have been waiting a while)
K, Got that out there, now back to business.
What’s going on with OLB after March 31
Well. I am SUPER excited about this, and this is why I say the orders will fly out after March 31st. After taking some time to think and reading the hundreds of emails from customers about how they wished I would not close, I have decided to restructure One Little Bow a little bit. I need to allow myself more time with my family, and I need to do something about this turn-around time.
So here it is!!!
As soon as I am caught up on all pending orders, I will re open the website to only sell ONE item per day. I will mostly sell bows, but once in a while I may post a tutu set, flower accessories bow holders, etc. Items for sale will still be semi-customizable in that you can choose the attachment your bow is one. The posting times will change every day, to give all customers a chance to order. These items will be totally unique and one of a kind. Each design will never be seen again!
The item will be pre-made and of limited quantity, and the number available will change day to day depending on how many I can make ahead of time. They will also be sold on a first come, first serve basis. Once you add the item of the day to your cart, you will have two minutes to complete your order before it gets dropped back into the pool for everyone else to buy. So be sure and pre-register on our website so your checkout experience is much quicker.
My husband is building the site so your checkout process will be as smooth as possible. We will still be using Google Checkout and Paypal. So make sure you have an account registered ahead of time with one of those places to also help speed up your checkout. The best part of all this is NO MORE DELAY! The items will ship the same or next day.
Ok, now I’m really excited! Have a great day everyone! And don’t forget to tell your friend about our face book page! We have a give-away every 100 fans, and the person with the most referrals wins too!
Hi! I’m a mother of two and we are a Air Force Family! I would have done the same thing wanting to spend more time with my family. I love your bows and glad that you will still be selling one a day mabey I can snatch one. lol! I’ve been trying to order as much as I can and getting my family do also for her birthday. My daughter is 8 months old today. And I have 6 year old boy. I hope I didn’t seem like a rude email. I know I wasn’t! Just wanted to check the status. Sorry that people are doing that to you. SUCKS! Well take care and thank you for makeing my daughter wonderful bows. I will tag in pictures as soon as I can.
