All items in our online shop ship free within the US only. I currently offer U.S. shipping only and it is from rural Maine. Delivery can vary from 2–14 days depending on your distance from Maine. Expedited shipping is not available.

Please note: I am now selling all of my paper bead making tools and other items from this web site using Paypal payments.

I have removed all of my paper bead making tools from Amazon. My Kindle crochet pattern books and paper template paperback books continue to be available on Amazon, as they are printed and fulfilled directly by Amazon. A limited number of paper bead making tools remain available on Etsy but I am not linking to those tools from this site.
