***** NOVEMBER 30TH****** is the Final Day for 'Made to Order' purchases
with Christmas delivery Nationwide. I strongly encourage ordering early
as this is the season of the deluge and there is only one me. Creation
times are at the Maximum of around 3 weeks due to the volume and if i
reach capacity i may have to close down early. Also its always best to
have time to make each set as beautiful as I can.
I will reopen just before Christmas for regular orders and, if there is any extra stock left, last minute gifts.
Feel free if you have any questions i can help with :) Cheers Leah

If you don't see a colour you crave there feel free to ask i might be able to do it.
Choose the colours you would like for each
opposing side and specify in "message to seller". If you don't see a
colour you crave there feel free to ask i might be able to do it. Also
let me know which of the 3 pawn styles you would like with your set
I
make each piece as strong as possible these are essentially akin to a
solid ceramic handled correctly they will last a lifetime but will break
if dropped on a concrete floor for instance.The set is shipped with
each piece individually bubble wrapped and laid on a bed of larger
bubbles and packing peanuts.
