• The winner is… and this week's stocking info.

    The winner of the facial mitts set is…

    Rebecca B.

    Congratulations Rebecca, email me at homesteademporium(at)gmail.com to claim your prize!

    As for this week’s stocking info…from our hyenacart:

    The same as last week, due to yet more house showings
    (and one viewer is returning later this week!!!)
    we may not be stocking much until next week.
     
    The product we do stock this week, will be on Thursday and/or Friday.
    We are aiming to stock at LilyPadLanding on Thursday evening, for our Honu/Sea Life theme this week.
    I’m also working on some more hand dyed bamboo velour pads.
    *Our custom orders that are due to ship by the end of the month are on schedule as usual and those customers should be hearing from us by the weekend or first of next week with photos of their orders and shipping dates.
     We hope to have all our previews up by Wednesday or Thursday evening.
    We’re sorry about the inconvenience these erratic stockings cause, but this is the best we can do at this time. We really don’t want to close up shop for any length of time if we can avoid it, so this gives us the ability to keep stocking as often as we can, while we go through this busy phase of our lives.
    We truly appreciate everyone’s patience!
    And let’s hope this doesn’t carry on for much longer and life can become settled once again, on our NEW (to us) farm soon!

  • Minimal stocking this week

    We may not be stocking this week. We’ve had quite a few house showings and with each one, we loose two days of sewing/work. One day while cleaning, the next day while we’re out of the house for the showings. Between this, schooling and the regular busyness of summertime, this week isn’t looking all that good for a regular stocking.

    We are hopeful that we can get some nursing pads put up in the shop since we’ve had quite a few emails (and comments here lol) that more are needed and I do hope to get some more EnduraPads up and maybe even a few hand dyed bv pads but I just can’t make any promises. We may split up the big Post Partum Eclectic Rainbow package. I was hoping it’d be perfect for someone needing a full stash at once but so far it’s not to be, so I’ll be splitting it up and listing them as seperate and pairs of pads as well. This way, they will go to many homes. I like that idea too. 🙂

    Later this week I’ll be doing the draw for the twitter/facebook contest: http://homesteademporium.wordpress.com/2009/05/10/celebrate-mothers-day-with-20-off-1-day-only/

    This is your last chance to enter. 🙂

    We hope to see you tomorrow evening. 8pm at our instock shop, and 9 pm at LilyPadLanding. 🙂

  • This week’s stocking

    We are going to delay this week’s stocking to Thursday evening. We’ve  I believe we’ll be stocking at both our hyenacart, AND Lily Pad Landing. To make up for the delay, we’ll try to make it a good one! 😉

    I’ll have photo’s to share by Wednesday evening, providing we don’t have more showings between now and then. Ha!

    To those who said they love the fabric used for the Ultimate Pads in the previous post, I believe we will be stocking one or two pads in that fabric. If I have time, I may try and add a few more to the list. 🙂

  • Custom orders

    It’s been a while since I’ve shared some photos of recent custom orders, so here we are!

    Rustic Ranch colorway

    Swirl dyed wool backed and more

    Post Partum custom, Homestead Colorway

    Nursing Pad custom

    Organic cotton velour  topped & hemp fleece backed Ultimate Pad custom

    Organic cotton velour custom

    and for the same customer, some bamboo velour regular pads in Rustic Ranch and Valley Farm.

    That’s it for this week!
    Thanks for looking! 🙂

  • This week’s stock is up!

    We’ve had an extremely busy week, thus a smaller stocking then usual. Three house showings in 24 hours, 4 showings in 6 days. That means three days of interupted sewing time! Yikes. ha ha!

    However, we managed to get everything done that we planned to have done anyways, all our customs customers should be hearing from us with photos of their orders within the next 48 hours (those custom orders that are due, not our most recent batch of customs).

    We received some new fabrics this week, and it inspired me to get cutting. My eldest daughter has been away helping out my mom while recovering from surgery, this means my ‘helper’ was not here to help. I think I did pretty good on my own though, and I’m happy with this week’s stocking. 🙂

    My favorites this week, Swirl dye meets wool.

    And some more Swirl dyed goodness, with waterproof fleece.

     

    The forecast says Blue Skies ahead with these minkee regular comfort contours.

    These Ultimate pads are aptly named “Tidal Wave”, that could have more then one meaning with such large pads!

    These Bold and Beautiful pads are sure to keep you well covered too! With an extra layer of zorb for extra absorption.

    For the nursing and expecting mamas, we’ve got some pretty nursing pads this week!

    There’s lots more to see, and we still have stock available at www.hyenacart.com/LilyPadLanding this week also.
    Things were so busy on Thursday with the two showings that I didn’t get a chance to blog about our stocking, but there’s some gorgeous things there! Everything from yarn, to diapers, to playsilks,  to jewelery, to pads, to kitchen cloths!

    So join us tomorrow evening (Tuesday), 8 pm at www.hyenacart.com/HomesteadEmporium
    We hope to see you there!

  • New stock, and we’re having so much fun!

    We’ve got new stock, set to go live this evening at 8pm EST, 5 pm for those of us in the west!

    My favorite listing this week is the Eclectic Rainbow “Anything Goes” Custom slot.

    Perfect for anyone really wanting to add some color into their stash, for some one wanting to give cloth pads a try, or even for the one who knows just what they need but can’t seem to snag it each week when we stock. Our Eclectic Rainbow colorway is a new fav.
    This week as we near the completion of earlier custom orders, we’re offering up some more custom slots in the Selah dyed colorways, Homestead, Valley Farm and Rustic Ranch. Again, these custom slots are perfect for those looking to add pads to their stash that might not be in the shop at this time, or for anyone looking for an entire stash, or to complete an existing one.

    We have a sample package available this week. We would like to keep these instock more often, as they are a great way to give a variety of pads a try but for now, we just have the one in Cocoa Bean.

    Need some ‘extra’ in your pads just to get you through those really heavy flow times? Why not give a pad with ‘zorb’ a try?

    Our Denim Comfort heavy wrap wing pads this week have an additional layer of zorb inside. All our pads with zorb now have an extra row stitching along the sides/center so our customers are able to see a difference between their H.E.R. regular pads with the natural cotton/bamboo inners, and their H.E.R. pads with zorb.

    We have several sets of swirl dyed pads this week in a variety of colors.

    Teeny Ultimates

    Mint Chocolate Regular Comfort Contour

    Thong liners

    Ultimate Regular Flow-this set has an extra layer of organic cotton fleece, at no extra cost to you!
    Great for those who need just that little ‘extra’ in their pads.

    Tiny Liners

    Heavy Comfort Contour

    There’s lots more color to see instock, so come join us at 8pm EST tonight!
