Svyatki’ is a twelve-days period of revelry in January, starting on (Russian Orthodox) Christmas Eve (January 6) and ending on Epiphany (January 19). During this time, a special tradition known as ‘kolyadki’ (wassailing or caroling) takes place. Its participants dress up as different animals and fairy-tale characters and perform special songs - ‘kolyadki’.

🎨🌸PAYMENT: PayPal only. Payment is expected within 3 days of the close of the auction. You can ask me if I can accept other forms of payment. It will be under my discretion to accept or not, and I will not tell you the reason why should I decide not to.

SHIPPING: Shipping, 3 to 5 business days after payment has cleared otherwise indicated on my listing. Item will be shipped normally by USPS. Once the item is in your hands, no returns or exchanges are offered. No discounts for shipping on multiple purchases. I could make an exception, depending on your situation and on how much the item(s) sold (it’s at my own discretion). I can consider shipping similar items that ship well together, like two paintings of the same size that don’t have a frame or individual sheets of watercolor paintings. It is normally a lot more work to ship items together, than individually. On bulky items, or paintings with frames, I am not going to offer discounts on combined shipping, even if I ship them that way. Ask for combined shipping discounts before you bid. I may not even offer it especially if item does not sell for more than the starting price. The listed shipping S&H Cost is for the United States, the mainland only. If you want shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico or other US territories, or any country for that matter that would have to be arranged. Buyer pays for S&H. Should I miscalculate the shipping cost, and when I go to the post office, it'll cost me more than what I originally charged you. I will not ship the product. I will send you a message telling you what it will really cost. I won't even charge you for my time and materials should I make that mistake, and only charge you the exact amount indicated by the post office. Should you not want the product after all, I can refund you what you paid. If I ship internationally, I will indicate in the custom form the actual value of the item purchased based on the total amount invoiced, including shipping.
ITEM PICK UP: If I list that item can be picked up in my hometown, sometimes it may take two or three days, or more for me to be available. We would meet in a public place. This would occur once funds clear or are received through Paypal.
INSURANCE: If I include: “Insurance is Included in Shipping Cost” for item, or I simply send the packaged already insured without indicating that, should item be damaged upon arrival it is the responsibility of the purchaser to submit the paperwork to get reimbursed by USPS. Please see the package on the top right to see if I sent it insured, and leave the label on package to use for return.
SALES TAX: Sales Tax of 8.00% (or current tax rate) will be added to anyone who resides in the state of California or the current tax rate as it may change.
QUESTIONS: If you have any questions, before you bid item, please send me a message. Or should you need any more photographs or information regarding item or about the transaction please let me know.
