RE: Contest: Product Review: Skein of hand-dyed wool: Purchased from 'The Gentle Soul' at the Homesteaders Co-op.
Woohoo! Glad you were able to get the product and get up a review in time!
About time we get to judging :) I imagine we'll have a decision and results by the end of the week.
Thanks so much Nate. Two weeks, from the time of ordering to receiving an international package like this is quite out of the ordinary. Or at least it strikes me as such when I've waited up to 8 weeks for books I've ordered online to arrive.
Going through the process was really necessary for me, before setting up my own store with the Homesteaders Co-op. Having seen how flawless the entire process was has given me the extra confidence that I need to do that.
When I was painting on silk there were galleries in the US that were interested in having my work. But I found the idea of sending work that I valued through the post to be really daunting. I guess that's continued to be one of my internal 'blocks.' So having gone through the process like this has been such a major personal breakthrough for me.
And I love everything about Idyllwild's products and how she has presented them on her own HSCO store. Great to have a 'role model' like that.
I think in a contest like this, regardless of outcomes, we are ALL winners. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
