Thats a wrap on our Crowdfunder campaign!

Thank you to everyone who supported the mission over the past 6 weeks.

Here is a reminder as to why we did it in the first place...

Our current website developer is looking to retire next year. He and Bob designed the site from scratch 10 years ago and it has served our customers well over the years. But technology moves fast and we believe now is the time for an upgrade.

Upgrading the website will not only benefit us with faster load times and more automated features, hopefully freeing us up to do more fun stuff like launching exciting new  products! But you (our customers) will have a smoother shopping experience that will inspire creativity, connect community and be a place you will always want to return to.

We have started the ball rolling on the next phase of the website and are busy organising / making all the EXCULCIVE REWARDS you lovely lot claimed!

Thank you again.

From Wally, Jenny & Jade.
