Fall 2022 Inspiration Box Updates

 Here it is! The new issue of my inspiration box. If you have subscribed for a year with the last issue, yours is already on its way. Thank you for your support. 

Not sure about the changes happening with the box?  I wrote a post about the changes regarding the inspiration box, you can read the post here. 

Would you like me to summarize the changes for you without having to read the whole article? Here we go:

1. The way Kinga's Inspiration Boxes are distributed needed to be changed because of dwindling sales. There are fewer boxes produced now, they are not ever going to be marked down, and most of them are going to go to  new annual subscribers.The total number of boxes produced is far fewer than before. Some will still be available to be purchased one at a time after the annual subscribers orders are shipped. As to how many, that is determined by the demand.

2. With the last issue, I offered a limited amount of annual subscriptions to peeps and sold out of the rest really quick.

3. I am opening up new subscriptions with each issue in limited quantities. Hence, I have spots for a limited number of subscribers this time. Those of you who contacted me regarding wanting to become and annual subscriber get first dibs.

4. The price of all the inspiration boxes are going up 10% with this issue. They have been the same price for 5 years. Because of increasing costs of supplies and Etsy's fees increasing as well, moving forward all boxes are $110.

5. If you choose to subscribe at this time, your shipping is a flat rate of $7. ( Most of the time if you buy one box, the shipping may be more because depending on the weight of the box. In the past, some have been much heavier than others. It all depends what's in there. For example: metal seed beads weigh a LOT more than their regular glass counterpart per tube. Your payment for one year's subscription for US customers is 4x$110 plus 4x$7 which equals $468. Are you outside the US? Due to shipping costing more your cost will be higher, depending on where you live.

 

This issue is fox themed. Here are some pictures of what to expect. The cover photo is of a pretty red fox.

The color coordinated contents feature a tube of foxy mix, mixed by me. These are size 15 beads. There is a tube of beautiful permanent orange 12/0 one cuts, a white opalescent size 11 tube, more 11s,2-hole rosetta cabochons that look like succulents. There are daggers, teacups or drops ( this will vary, most of you will receive teacups, some will get beautiful magatamas).

There are etched daggers ( these vary in color), a foxy embroidery patch, a beautiful button in the shape of a fox's head from green girl studios. Chinese fancy stones, because #FUCKOVSKI. 

There will be a pretty pewter mushroom charm, a Czech button, Czech flowers, (2 kinds) and beautiful Czech table cut ovals with an AB finish. I realize you can't see all this on the pictures and that's by design. After showing everything in great detail all the time and things not selling in the past, I have come to realize that some things when you are getting a box of beautiful presents to yourself - are best left to be surprises.

Even the tissue paper is woodland animal patterned with pretty foxes and owls and such.

 A bird's eye view of the process of packing the boxes. Besides what you see inside, there are three pieces of fabric in foxy colors too to go with the beads.

The card that you are getting with this edition shows another fox, one I met a few times during this past summer. And the inside of the box has more foxes.  

With every issue subscribers get a special item. For those who subscribed last time, with summer 22 being their first box, they are getting a small piece of leather. Nothing as big as the nice swag they got when they signed up, but the special extra item changes with every issue. For winter, all subscribers at that point who subscribed either summer or fall will get a pretty cabochon as their extra item.

For new subscribers this time, Fall 22, you will get a felted purse with 2 teardrop shaped K2 Jasper cabs tucked within.These items will be shipped with your first box.

These are the wee felted purses I have in my stash this time, new subscribers. One like this is what you should be looking for in your first box.

For those of you who just want to purchase boxes one at a time, whenever the theme or colors appeal to you, I will have a limited quantity available early October. October 5th to be exact, at 9:00 am mountain time.
