Extended Purchases:

Layaways
&
Gift Registries

   We find that phone calls work much better than e-mail for these.

        We offer a no-fee layaway  for our items.  The time frame for our layaways is a  maximum of 10 months.
For items not paid for within that period, the customer will have on file with us a credit for the full amount  paid
to the time of cancellation.  This credit could then be applied to any merchandise in our shop. 

    A Gift Registry can be set up when you and others wish to combine gift selections &  resources to purchase
any number of items for a recipient, typically bride and groom.  This is particularly useful when you do not want
to  inquire directly of the anticipated well-wishers as to the extent of their gift desires or capabilities.

    Think of the registry as a wish list made public.  There is no obligation or penalty for not purchasing all of
the pieces in the registry. 

    In about half of the registries, the parents find themselves purchasing the unpurchased  pieces at some point
after the wedding or even several months later,  usually for the holiday season.
