NightBlooming began on a table tucked under the eves of an apartment, grew into a single dedicated room, and we are way overdue for a bigger pot! 

With about 2 weeks before the earliest potential close date, I simply must stop ordering more supplies. That means that some items have fixed quantities, and when they're gone, they're gone until I re-open and have time to make more. 

You can identify these items because it will look like this:

After selecting the size you want it will say how many are left. I'll be back in a month or so, please only take enough to cover your needs until then. 

Limited Stock:

• Fëathelas Healing Salve: 11 .5oz, 9 2oz
• Lassëa Solid Shampoo Bars: 19 Leaf, 9 Lembas
• Lassëa Solid Conditioner Bars: 19 Leaf, 14 Lembas
• Custom Hair Colors: I have limited supplies of some ingredients, and once those run out I will not be ordering more until we have our new address.
• Stock Hair Colors: I'll be updating quantities of these next week, but when each one is out that's it. 

Many of these items have already been removed from the Etsy storefront so I'm not managing diminishing inventory in both places. They can only be purchased on NightBlooming for now. 

In early August, me my husband, the mutinous felines, and NightBlooming will be moving. And yes, the beehives are getting packed up and moved, too.
 

What I can't tell you yet is when exactly I'll close up shop, and when exactly I'll re-open, but I anticipate being closed for 2-4 weeks to allow time for packing, moving, unpacking, laying on the floor staring at the ceiling to decompress, making items to restock, etc. I will keep you all posted as things firm up and I have solid closing and opening dates.
 

🍃 Stocking Up

What I can tell you is that I have a couple weeks before this happens, and to make sure everyone has what they need to last through the gap, I'm asking you to stock up, starting now. I also wanted to give everyone a head's up because I know that sometimes this sort of divergence from the norm means extra planning for purchases.

🌿Exciting!!

As many, but perhaps not all, of you know, NightBlooming is a one-woman business. I frequently, get questions about "my team" and wholesale, and was recently asked if I had stores or outlets in Australia. Don't I wish!

^ "the team" and the louder half of it is not particularly helpful.

🌿 I've also left The Iyarri Chronicles hardcovers on sale because every book I get to ship is one less book that has to be moved, and books are heavy.

One of the advantages of being a Patron is getting early warnings about things like this.

🍃 Bigger Discount

July's Evergreen Discount code is available to people at the $7/mo tier or higher. Normally this is a flat 15%, but this July it is 25% to make up for the fact that there will be a few weeks in there where you can't purchase things. There's also exclusives like the Victorian scented Lassea bars and NightBlooming honey in the Patron's Only storefront which you gain access to with any paid tier!  Becoming a Patron gets you access to these rewards instantly.

Your ongoing support is such an immense boon during tumultuous times like this. Closing down for a few weeks means losing significant income, but the ongoing support of Patrons helps bridge the gap. For that, I am so deeply grateful, and it makes me feel that is possible to budget time to do this right rather than having to rush and scramble and stress about reopening before anything was set up, organized, or ready. The gift of your support is so much more than financial, it supports mine (and by extension my husband's) mental health during such a big change!

Stock up while you can!
