Looking for customer photos!!

Hey All!!

I am looking to put together an album over on the 

Tumblestone Facebook Fan Page

that is all customer appreciation photos, comments and feedback.

I've already got a few but would love to have some more!

The more creative the better!!

So if you have a photo of your child with a custom 

sewn stuffie I have created or you with a lovely 

Tumblestone pair of earrings or even a fun photo of just the

item if you like - anything goes - send it on in to me!

Also looking for comments and feedback as well, even without 

a photo :)

You can either write comments here, over on the Facebook page HERE,

or you can email me your comments and/or photos to

tumblestone.handmakery@gmail.com 

If I get enough, I would like to put on a contest! 

So get your comments and photos of your Tumblestone

goodies in! I would love to see them.

Dont have your Tumblestone goody yet? 

Have a look in my online shop HERE!

I have lots of beautiful hand crafted jewellery to choose from,

sewing wise though, I am closed for custom orders. Once I

catch up (I'm whittling down a 3.5 month wait list!) I will be launching 

the new website and will be taking custom orders again!!

It will be a bit of a wait for that but I'm working on it!

So send in those photos and comments!!

Customer Feedback wanted!

Do you have something that you want to tell the

world about Tumblestone Handmakery?

Have you bought a creation from me in the past?

What did you think of it? How was my service?

I know that some people are weary about

purchasing online, and they should be!
I would like it if my friends, fans and customers would

comment here telling about your experience in dealing

with Tumblestone, from ordering to getting the final

product and anything you would like to share in between!

Cunstructive criticism is always welcome as well,

this is a constant learning experience for me and

even though I do try my hardest to do as much as I

can for you, the customer, there is always

something more to learn!

Also, I would love to fill a page with photos of my

customers with their Tumblestone goodies -

 If possible, please email or message me with your

favorite photo of your creation being loved

(The more creative and fun the picture, the better!)

In the next while I will be putting on a contest to do

with creative customer photos (not yet though!)
each photo will be an entry, even ones submitted now.
So get creative and take some photos with your

Tumblestone goodies! No limits!

Thank you everyone! I really appreciate it!!
email me your photos,
Inbox them to me on Facebook or put them right on my

 wall and I will add them to the album!

The Special Blue Moustache (Going the extra mile)

Yesterday I had an amazing day.

I realized (not that I hadnt previously, but it hit

me stronger than ever last night), that

doing this whole Tumblestone thing makes me

so much happier, I love doing it and

I love to go above and beyond just

making things to sell.

I have so many great new friends, fans

and customers, it blows my mind -

and Ive only just begun!

I realized how much more this is so,

when yesterday I had a few customers

pick things up at my workplace.

One brought me a coffee, one brought

me a bag of awesome vintage buttons

(if you know me at all, you know that I FLIP

over buttons - I even take them as payment!

Depending of course!)

And one brought me a massive multi layered

organizer to put my beads, findings and tools

in for my jewelry making:

Underneath the layer that you can see

is a whole nother layer! With deeper spaces.

I'm so happy! My customers are the best ever!

I think one of the main reasons that people

really appreciate what I do is because I ALWAYS

do something a lil' extra.

Whether it be my handmade personalized thank you cards

and handmade business cards,

super creative handmade packaging, discount

coupons hiding in your 2nd purchase,

a surprise gift or

 random special requests from customers,
there's always something!

It is SO important (and fun!)

to go that extra mile with your creations.

People really appreciate it and can see

when you love what you do and aim to please.

For me, this isnt about making money.

(Most of it goes right back in to Tumblestone)

It's about making people happy, seeing the smiles

on their faces and making new friends. 

About a week ago, I was at 7-11.

A guy came up to me and said,

"you make the moustaches, right?"

His girlfriend works at the 7-11 on the

night shift. He asked if he paid now,

would I be able to make one in a custom color

with something a little extra on it to make it

special and to bring in in to 7-11 to

surprise her during a shift on the following week.

Sometime between 11pm and 7am.

Of course I was happy to do that!

I couldnt wait to see her smile!

When I finished sewing it up and

finally got there at 3:30 am (!)

(I live super close to the Sev, so no biggie!)

I walked in and gave it to her and she

reached for it, hugged it, and with watery

eyes said, "I was having such a bad day."

She was happy after that! I hope her shift

went by better for her! Those really are the

things that make it worth it. Most people wouldnt

do that in the middle of the night. A lot of

people sell their stuff for money period.

But people can tell, either way!

It's the extra things that show and make the

purchase memorable. For the customer

and for myself.

Have you purchased something from someone and it was memorable

to you because they went the extra mile? What did they do for you?

Are you a small business owner and like to do something special for

your customers? What is it that you do to make them feel special?
