FOR SALE!!

Hi everyone, and welcome to the first Purple Pumpkin sale of the year!! You will see a few brand new embellishments in today's update, as well as some old favourites. Every 2 - 3 weeks we will be releasing 4 new button designs, which will be available in kits, as well as kits containing previous release buttons. Our always popular spotty buttons and spotty topped felt flowers are now also available in kit co-ordinating colours. We also have some types of flowers available in 2 packs, packs of 6 felt embellishments and of course LOTS OF BUTTONS!

IS THIS YOUR FIRST TIME ORDERING FROM PURPLE PUMPKIN?

For any new customers all you need to do is have a look, see what you'd like to order, then send me an email to purplepumpkincrafts@hotmail.com I'll email you back with your final amount including postage and payment details. It's that easy! You might want to get in quick though, as it does tend to sell out FAST!

When you're placing your order, could you please also include your address. I know I've got a lot of people's addresses already, but if I get your address with the order, I can write out the envelope and pack it straight away. This will save me from having to look it up, so I can get through everything a lot quicker.

International orders are welcome.

Payment is by direct deposit or paypal.

Postage for Australia is usually $1.20 for buttons and a few embellishment kits. Larger orders are a little bit more. International postage rates start from $2.20.

Just One Last Sneak...

I can't help myself, can I? I just love this colour combo, so I had to share...


We've been inspired by the colours in the new kits to make colour co-ordinated button packs, spotty button tops, and more. They would be great to buy on their own, or with the co-ordinating kit. I can't wait to use some of these myself!!

Only 4 hours to go!! Are you ready for sale time!!

10 Hours To Go!!

It isn't long now before we start our first sale of the year! Here's another little peek at what will be on offer at 7.30pm tonight (Queensland time)...


These layered vintage chenille lollipop flowers are GORGEOUS, and one of my favourite embellishments at the moment. Layers of vintage pink and white chenille are layered on a base of denim, and then finished off with pink and white pearl beads sewn on top.


Look who's back in a different colour! These pandas are just too cute!


And of course there are the super popular felt and spotty button flowers. These were one of the best selling items at Purple Pumpkin last year, and they'll be on offer tonight in yummy kit co-ordinating colours.


Well, back to the grind!! So far we've packaged about half the kits, so we have a busy day ahead of us. See you right here on the blog at 7.30pm tonight!!!

PS - if you are in a different time zone, just keep an eye on the clock on the right side of the blog there :)

Sneaky Peeks!!!

I've been photographing lots of cute new goodies, all ready for tomorrow night...






I seriously think this might be our best lot of embellies yet, so make sure you pop in tomorrow night, at 7.30pm Queensland time if you want to get hold of some!!
