I stocked up on materials in 24/25 and should be good until 2027.

Even pre-war shipping rates were getting up there to the point where I needed to look at adjusting shipping rates. It used to be the flat $5 shipping charge covered USPS and the PayPal fee for most areas I ship to with smaller orders. Today I mailed a "Spring Special" to a customer and PayPal nabbed me for a $1.71 transaction fee and it was just under $7.00 for postage. USPS also announced an upcoming 8% increase. It will take a while for me to adjust this, create new PayPal buttons for the website etc. but wanted to make you aware that I will be raising the shipping rates at some point in the next few weeks.

It seems there are a lot of people in the flutter spoon supply chain these days and folks seem to be happy with the single swivel and cheap hooks for $5 to $7 more per spoon but the bottom line is sourcing the blanks is a pain with unpredictable prices. I still have a few left of each pattern and will take them off the website once they are gone.

The good news is: Salt Water Edge in Middletown, RI has plenty as does Perkins Marine in Essex, MA
