Update as I’ve been meaning to address this.
As some of you know I’ve been taking a break as I’m expecting and now baby girl will be here in 5 days.
Since taking a break some things have happened for materials.
First thing was my air balloons, I can no longer source my lanterns in person and for the low price they were at, they stopped carrying the big sizes I use. I did find a website I can order off of but the prices will reflect that of the new source and also timing of their shipping. Unfortunately, this same store also lowered their stock of ribbon.
Next was Kirkland diapers. I loved loved loved Kirkland diapers. However, they have switched to a new manufacture and from what I’ve heard the quality is quite low. Personally, I don’t want my standard diaper for the cakes to be that of low quality. I have switched to other brands or sizes upon request. So that’ll be an adjustment.
Now thirdly, it’s a doozy, Joanns Fabric closure. I went yesterday to see if I could find fabric to make my daughter a baby blanket. I was almost in tears. Deep sorrow of everyone who worked there and used that store for their hobbies and businesses. We’re gonna see a lot of changes as consumers when it comes to many things, Etsy, local bazaars to grandmas quilting beautiful works of art for her grand babies and state fair competitions. The trickle effect will be pretty immense and for me this is huge as I bought so much there. Thankfully I have a large stock of things but as things are needed it will be a challenge and likely more time to complete a diaper cake. I still want to make your cakes as unique and custom as possible while bringing joy to everyone ❤️
