Colorado Sales Tax News

I just got off the phone with the State of Colorado and found out that as of January 1st, the new sales tax laws are now in full effect. 😦

If you are in Colorado, please call your representative and request that in state sellers be included in the nexus laws applied to out of state sellers. This would allow small businesses like mine to sell in Colorado without having to worry about licensing, and complying with every home rule city, county and special district rule in the state.

So what this means is that I can only ship to customers with a delivery address within the city of Westminster in Jefferson County. The sales tax for all of my Colorado customers will still be 8.35%, but anyone outside the city of Westminster/Jeffco will need to pick up their items here or hire a delivery service to pick up and deliver on their own.

There is another option though.  For those buying rosaries, I can list your item in my Etsy Store. Etsy will then pay sales taxes due to every home rule city necessary. If you would like to try this option, please contact me before purchasing.

Take care and Happy New Year!!!!

Part Restock & New Stuff!

Hey Everyone!

Parts arrived from Italy this week.  Woo Hoo!!  I have restocked many of the basic centerpieces like the Miraculous medal, Lourdes & Fatima water centers and Mary with Baby Jesus.  I have also restocked my traditional angular crucifix, relic crucifix, large filigree among a few others.  The supplier sent me the stamped version of the tear drop sunburst crucifix instead of the one with the separately attached Corpus, so I will be taking new pictures and adding that one as an option to the existing listing until the few of the old style are sold out.  OK?  I also have a new Fatima center with dirt from Fatima instead of water, a larger Miraculous medal and a new simple crucifix that will be added soon.  If you have any questions, please let me know.

Keep checking back over the next week for the new additions.

Take care,

Pictures & New Flat Link Chain

HI Everyone!

I recently found out my manufacturer discontinued the flat link chain I use on my less expensive rosaries. 😦  I can special order more, but the minimums are HUGE!

For now I am experimenting with the next size up. As soon as I am able I will add both options for my custom rosaries, but here is a picture so you can see the difference. They are very close in size, but the new stuff has a thicker look to it and is slightly larger. Once I add this option to the store I will take a better picture next to beads so you can see how they look. As always if you have questions please let me know. 🙂

Take care,
Phyllis 🙂

Phases 1 & 2 Now Complete

Hey Everyone!!

Phases 1 & 2 of the new store upgrade are now complete! YAY!! 🙂 All the pretty stuff is finally done!!  Phase 3 will involve a lot of back end stuff including fixing that pesky PayPal button, retaking pictures, rewriting descriptions, SEO and adding more details to each listing.  It will take a couple of months to get that part finished, so if you see anything wonky in the mean time please let me know.

Below is a picture of the new item pages. I was able to add a “short description” directly under each item title. Minimizing those and making them more concise will be a big part of Phase 3. Hopefully once finished they will help with any confusion regarding items used for custom rosaries versus items available for individual sale. If you have any questions or see any type-o’s or other errors, please let me know. 🙂  Thank you for your patience during this transition. It has been greatly appreciated!

White Rhodium Lily Set Back In Stock!!

Hi Everyone!

Just a quick note to let you all know that my white rhodium lily set that had been discontinued by the manufacturer is now back in stock.  I was able to negotiate a decent deal with them to make more for me.  YAY!!

Alexandrite Beads Discontinued :(

Hey everyone!  Just a quick note to let you all know that my 6mm round Alexandrite color changing beads and my 8mm Alexandrite/Silver cathedral beads have been discontinued by the manufacturer.  I’ve found a few elsewhere, but the costs were at least 5 times what I normally pay, so I’ve decided not to restock for now.  I will keep checking though and let you all know if they pop up again in the future.
