Order Processing Update

This past week has been a very busy week for us at Debaucherous Bath! With the enlisted help of my family we have been busily getting your orders out to you. But TAT is still around 5 business days even up to 7 now. I am not happy with this, so I have enlisted additional help for the next few days to get things really moving. My BFF has volunteered to come over beginning today and help us get moving so that our TAT can get back to our standard 2-3 days. I am so excited! 


I want to thank everyone for being so patient with me during this crazy time for us here at Debaucherous Bath. It means the world to me. You are the best customers in the world! I absolutely adore each and every one of you! I simple adore the little messages you include with your orders, I get quite the laugh out of some of them. Or the convos, such inspiring convos I receive from the most loving and caring people. YOU ARE THE BEST!


Well, I am back to work! I hope everyone has had a fabulous weekend with their loved ones, eating lots of good food (and hopefully not gain too much weight from it, lol), spending lots of quality time with loved ones and saving loads with their Black Friday sales and not getting hurt by the overly fanatic for shopping.


Cheers!

Bathory & Traditional Christmas Debut

More Bathory items have been added and the remainder of the Bathory is going up today. 

Traditional Christmas items are going up today and over the weekend as well in the following scents:


PEPPERMINT BARK

A delicious treat that I always enjoyed as a child that my great aunt always made for everyone.


DARK CHOCOLATE, WHITE CHOCOLATE, AND CRISP BITES OF MINTY CANDY CANES.



GRANDMA LEE'S EGGNOG

Grandma Lee is grandmother to 15 grand/stepgrandchildren and believe it or not over 20 great grand/stepgrandchildren. And she's hoping to be around to see her first great great grandchild. Personally I'm hoping that won't be for a long time as I'm not ready to be a grandmother myself anytime soon, seeing as I'm one of the elder grand/stepgrandchildren.  LOL


Grandma Lee has the best eggnog around! Sometimes it's a little too good though as Grandma Lee gets a little too generous with her rum at times. Grandma Lee's mother in law was a bootlegger/rum runner back in the day so I think she has access to some of the best rum around. She won't tell us what rum she uses and won't even let us see the bottle. Who knows what we're drinking!

EGGS, SUGAR, FRESH CREAM, A TOUCH OF CLOVE, NUTMEG AND CINNAMON WITH A SPLASH OF GRANDMA'S SPECIAL RUM.


CANDY CANE


Candy canes have always been a Christmas time staple in everyone's house. Used for everything from decorating the tree to baking and placing in the kids stockings.


RED STRIPES OF PEPPERMINT SWIRLED AROUND WHITES STRIPES OF SUGAR.

COOKIES FOR SANTA

We always leave cookies out for Santa and a little note from each of the kids. One year, when my oldest was around 6, my daughter decided Santa would like a lot of different cookies and a bunch of carrots for his reindeer for their long journey. My sister and brother in law happened to be in town for the holiday that year, before they had children of their own. The honor was bestowed upon my brother in law to eat the cookies and carrots. So he waited up until she finally went to sleep and ate them. The next morning my brother felt so sick form eating so many cookies. We were laughing at him so much. We told him he didn't really have to eat ALL of them. He ate about a dozen cookies! He thought he was doing something good for her.

FRESHLY BAKED SUGAR COOKIES WITH BUTTERCREAM FROSTING, DECORATED WITH FESTIVE SPRINKLES.


NAUGHTY MRS CLAUS

All year long Santa is always so busy checking his naughty or nice list that he seemed to overlook the most important one of all, Mrs Claus. Mrs Claus has been VERY naughty.  All year she tries so hard to get Santa's attention, all the while Santa is busy checking his list, making toys and reading letters from little boys and girls. Walking around in her sexy lingerie, elves gasping! Santa not even noticing once. 


Mrs Claus had had enough. 

When Santa finally returned, he actually had a very big surprise for her! He didn't forget her after all. Mrs Claus was finally happy.



BRIGHT RED WINTER BERRIES, TOUCHED BY OPUHI PETALS, NIGHT BLOOMING JASMINE, WHITE MUSK AND A TOUCH OF SENSUAL SANDALWOOD.


MOMMY KISSING SANTA


One of my favorite Christmas songs.

I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe last night
She didn't see me creep
Down the stairs to have a peep
She thought that I was tucked up in my bedroom fast asleep
Then I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night




BUBBLY SWEET CHAMPAGNE, STRAWBERRIES & PEACHES, VANILLA BEAN AND WHITE MUSK.


AUNT HATTIE MAE'S SWEET POTATO PIE

Aunt Hattie Mae always made the best sweet potato pies. Bringing over up to 10 pies at a time for the family and not one slice being left over. She would tell stories how she would make cake without eggs and growing up on a farm so poor that she had to make do with what they had at that time, using fresh cream and butter. Aunt Hattie Mae isn't around anymore and she took her sweet potato pie recipe with her along with many others. Many of us to this day are trying to figure out many of her recipes. Maybe one day.


BUTTER RICH CRUST, SWEET POTATOES, HEAVY CREAM, OLD IRISH WHISKEY, TOASTED MARSHMALLOWS.


Additional Bathory items:

Corpse Bride
Alices Nightmare in Wonderland
Mad Hatter Tea Cakes
The Red Queens Rage
Naughty Mrs Claus

Black Friday Special

First off I'd like to update on shipping, all orders are being processed and will be shipped out by Wednesday, before Thanksgiving, yay!!!

Second, I am offering a Black Friday special. It will be as followed:

Free Lip Balm with every order of $35.00
Free Perfume with every order of $75.00 ($15 value)
Free Shipping on any order of $100.00 or more.  And yes you can have all 3!

Free shipping applies to domestic only, please contact me for International orders.

Free shipping will be adjusted manually. So I will have to refund the difference to you. This will not apply to multiple orders already placed unfortunately. I will be more than happy to create custom listings for you during this time (except on Thanksgiving day). Please keep in mind that I may not be able to answer convos immediately as I am spending this time with my family. I do try to relist items as quickly as possible for product availability.

Please state your free lip balm or perfume choice at checkout.

This special begins now since I know that not everyone will be sitting at home shopping online on Black Friday, at least I know I won't be! lol

Happy Thanksgiving!

Fall Items Down & Thanksgiving Shipping

The Fall items are now down. I am getting the Bathory up, I know I keep saying that but I want to make sure I get orders out before I list new items. I like to keep TAT within the 3-5 business day range. Now that orders are caught up once again this allows me to work on getting new items up on the etsy shop finally.

Initially I was going to close shop this week for Thanksgiving, but I'm going to keep it open a couple days longer. I will be closed for Thanksgiving weekend though. So my new holiday schedule for Thanksgiving will be as followed:

Closed beginning Thursday November 24th, 2011 in observance of Thanksgiving. All orders placed until Monday November 21st will be shipped our prior to closure. All orders made after the 23rd will be processed upon return Monday November 28th, 2011. Orders made after the 21st I will work as quickly as I can to get out before Thanksgiving but I cannot guarantee will get out before Thanksgiving. If you are in need of something and need it quick, please convo me first.

The shop will remain open during the holiday, but I will be unavailable via convo or email and will not be processing any orders during this time as I will be spending this time with my family,

I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving!

Tomorrow, November 18th the following items are coming down off the etsy shop:

Pumpkin Regal
Spiked Coffee
Raven
Spellbound
Thanksgiving 1893
Wild Apple Tree 

Lip Balm:

State Fair

If you are in need of more than what is listed in my shop, please convo me and I can set up a custom listing for you. Once they are gone they will not be back until Fall 2012. Please keep in mind that Raven is low in stock and I cannot make any more product in this scent. Thank you!

Bathory, Traditional Christmas & Dead Winter

Today the other 2 Bathory items are going up on etsy. I am waiting for the last of my labels for the last 6 Bathory items before I add those to etsy. They were suppose to be ready earlier in the week but alas they are not. 

Traditional Christmas will begin to go up this weekend. The remainder of those will go up next week as well. Same for Dead Winter.

Shipping Update

Shipping is caught up! There was a slight delay as I ran out of boxes, eek! I couldn't believe it as I thought I had more. It was one of those moments when I could swear I had more. Well, I was wrong! So I had to wait for the shipment to arrive yesterday in the evening. So today the last few made it out.

Thank you so much for your patience!

Monday, November 14, 2011

Shipping

Please remember per my policies on etsy and my website, that I ship via usps' cheapest method for you. Which means I may ship first class, priority mail or even parcel post, which also means your package may arrive in just a couple days or even a week to 10 days later. If at any point you want a quicker method, please make a note of this when you check out. Additional charges may apply. Otherwise, I will choose the cheapest method for you.

As always, I refund any shipping over charge of $1.00 or more.

With the holidays just around the corner, please keep this in mind when placing your order along with the current turn around time. Current turn around time is 4-5 business days.

Thank you!

Trading on etsy

It's time for Christmas shopping and I have been getting quite a few convos asking if I'd be willing to trade with fellow etsy shops. I am always willing to trade as I am always looking for gifts for my friends and family and well, the occasional gift for myself of course, lol.

At times I'd like to ask, but am quite shy and not even sure how to, but am so thrilled when I get asked.

I am looking for items in the following categories, if you have an etsy shop, please, feel free to contact me:

Childrens clothing(mainly for a toddler girl)
Photographs (I love photographs as you can see in my favorites)
Candles (my dear cousin just loves candles and can never have enough of these!)
Knit cowls
Knit/Crochet Hats for kids, baby, toddler and adult
Felt play food (preferably the baked goods, like cookies and cakes)

My list will grow as my friends and relatives hand over their wishlists, lol.

Thanks for reading this!

Báthory Update & Product Availability

Ok, so I was able to get 2 of the Báthory items up yesterday. It was a long day. I will get the other 2 up shortly. 6 more are coming over the next few days. 


I was asked about Marshmallow Woods, at this time Marshmallow Woods is only available in Perfume and Báthory. If I get enough feedback/requests, I may bring this into the other products. Otherwise, it will only be in these 2. And this scent will only be available until the end of the year.


I'm trying to limit how many scents I offer at a time to keep TAT at a minimum. Many scents are seasonal and will not return until the following year. I highly recommend stocking up on your favorite scents. Right now I am low on Alices Nightmare in Wonderland, Raven and Wild Apple Tree. I will not be blending anymore of this until next year.

I am extremely low on Raven and a key note for Raven has been discontinued by my supplier. So I will be spending the following year trying to find a replacement directly with the manufacturers so that I will have it in time for next year. Raven is a personal favorite and when I found out this note was no longer available my heart was broken. This is a personal blend I have used for years. It went from one supplier to another and now no more. What is left in my etsy shop is all that I am offering and will not be relisting anymore unfortunately. I will also be removing from the perfume petite sample listings.


It really breaks my heart when this happens, but there is hope. And thankfully I have a year to work on it.

Báthory

I have a surprise!!


.....Báthory is making its debut TODAY!!!!  I'll be adding 4 new Báthory items today to my etsy shop.


And...as of today I am caught up on orders, so beginning Monday I should be back to shipping within 2-3 business days again, but I will be keeping the TAT at 3-5 days since the holidays are nearing.

Friday is Veterans Day

Friday is Veterans Day, please note that the post office will be closed this day so I will be unable to ship orders, but I will still be processing them. Thank you!

Order & New Product Update

If you received your tracking info but no update as of yet with usps.com, please bear with me. My husband, my delivery man, lol, is still learning the tricks of the trade. He was unaware that our local post office works in such a manner that in order to get accurate tracking you must walk up to the counter, drop off all packages and request for them to be scanned. Instead he has been dropping them off in the bin, so they do not get scanned at the post office until they are in transit wherever they may be heading (usually not until they are near your post office).

Rest assured, if you have received a tracking number via paypal/email in the last few days, your order has been shipped and is on its way to you.

I thank you sincerely for your patience!

Now, for the product updates. My Traditional Christmas line is making it's debut next week. I cannot wait. Everything that Christmas is, in all, 7 new scents are coming. 


Bathory will also be making its debut next week. Bathory will be making its debut in 10 existing scents. And later in the month will be my Dead Winter collection.  Dead Winter will be making it's debut in 6 new scents.

Don't forget shortly after these new scents come out that the Fall scents will no longer be available.

Have a fabulous evening!

TAT

Current TAT (turn around time) is back to 3-4 business days. I'm going to keep it at this for now even if we get orders out same or next day just to be safe. Since the holidays are nearing it seems there is an increase in orders on both the website and etsy. So I'm keeping it safe in saying TAT is 3-4 days at this point.

I have enlisted the help of my family. I have come to realize that since the holidays are nearing I just cannot do it all by myself. They are doing a lovely job if I do say so myself. It has become a family business at this point. I am very proud of them.  I have 2 delivering packages to the post office and 2 are helping with wrapping products in lovely tissue paper. I love their enthusiasm.

Thank you for your patience during this busy time!!

Have a fabulous day!

Shop and Website updates

I was able to make a return yesterday and have been making updates, processing orders as well as adding new items. I'm also in the works of updating the new website, debaucherousbath.com. I'm hoping it'll be complete very soon. I didn't realize how long it would take me with all the other events going on and with the holidays quickly around the corner. But for the meantime all items will be on the etsy shop. 

I have taken down all Halloween items from the Haus of Haunt site. Soon I will make all items unavailable on the Haus of Haunt site so this way you will only be able to purchase from my etsy shop until the new site is complete.

Once debaucherousbath.com is ready you will have the option to purchase from either the etsy site or the website. 

I hope everyone has been having a fabulous weekend, especially with the additional hour of sleep with the time change today!

I will return Monday to begin processing orders and answer any convos.
Have a fabulous weekend!!
