23 July 2010:

The Summer Simplicities are here! I hope you enjoy the offerings! No bath goods (perfume only) this time around since beloved William has arrived and I'm still learning a new schedule.... if you can call it that! ;}

xoxo,
Astrid

10 July 2010:


It is with *immense* joy (and fatigue!) that I would like to announce the arrival of the most charming William Solomon Favro Weinstock on the 7th of July at 1:50am via cesarean weighing 9lbs 1oz and measuring 21 inches. Jeffrey and I are bananas in love with our son! We just came home today from the hospital and are slowly settling in. Please note that I will continue to have a slightly delayed response with emails and possibly with order processing and your patience during this time is greatly appreciated!

Much thanks and appreciation,
Astrid :}


20 June 2010:


Please note that I am one week away from my due date, which means I could give birth any time from now to early July (if I am induced)! When this happens, email communication and order processing will slow down.  Please bear with me and don't worry if you don't hear from me or receive an order confirmation email! I will be in touch with you as soon as I can!!

Thank you for your understanding and patience!
Astrid, the living pumpkin patch :}

Important! Some emails are not getting through to me (grumblegrumble!). If you have email me and
not received a response within 48 hours, please resend your email to my back-up address at:

I am so sorry for this inconvenience and am trying to fix it with my hosting company!

Apologies,
Astrid

03 June 2010:

Welcome to the first part of Blooddrop's Summer limited editions!! My first set of offerings to you is a series dedicated to the beautiful sea. Hardly complete, but how could it ever be? I have chosen some of my favorite themes and creatures. I suspect I will revisit this theme again! La Mer series is only available as perfume oils.

Also coming (hopefully in about a week's time!) are some summer facial sprays!! I've got some wonderful treats for your skin this summer to ease fatigue, heat, sunburn and the general stress that comes with being outdoors more often! We all love being under the sun, but your skin will need a little extra care this time of year and I'm going to help you!

There will be more scents to the Simplicity line as well! Either I will try to make those avialable when the new facial sprays arrive or they may land in July.

AND! Because you know being pregnant has clearly addled my brain, I am hoping to bring you a second summer limited edition series a little later into the season. This second one is a little more tentative and will depend on how time allows with the arrival of my little one (due later this month)!

Please keep in mind that turn around times, the sending of order confirmations and email responses *may* slow down a bit in a few weeks.  I will do my best to keep you informed of delays of any sort. However, if you don't hear from me right away, I'm probably nursing and trying to get s few minutes of shut-eye!

Saturday morning (the 5th) the Spring Simplicity scents are leaving, but the items as bath goods will remains while stock still stands!

Enjoy my sweets,
Astrid xoxoxox

27 May 2010:

Please take note! The Spring Simplicity limited edition perfume oils will be removed from the website on Saturday morning, the 5th June. I hope to have the first batch of Summer limited editions up then, but I will make no promises! The Spring Simplicity bath goods will be available while supplies last.

30 April 2010:

Today is the last day for the free shipping offer, but I accidentally made a mistake!
Today free shipping is good for USA orders of $40 and up. Oopsies!
; }

Locals, don't forget about lunching with Blooddrop tomorrow! Email me if you need any
extra information! Saturday, May 1st, Noon - 2pm at Max & Emily's in Old Downtown Mount Pleasant!

02 April 2010:

Before the Valentine's Day perfumes pass away on Monday morning, I bring you Blooddrop's Spring Simplicity update! This is a limited edition line of solo notes in various forms (perfume, cream, body wash, etc.) due to a recent influx of requests for such a line! I hope you will enjoy them!

xoxo,
Astrid :}

01 April 2010:

Melt with You is sold out. Thank you!!


24 March 2010:

The Valentine's Day limited edition perfumes will be leaving on the morning of the 5th of April.

22March 2010:

Bookish! A new Special Event Limited Edition perfume. Available while supplies last. (It is listed under Other Limited Edition oils)


11 March 2010:

I have some big news for those of you who haven't heard already: I am pregnant and on my way to being a momma! (Well, momma to a human.... been a momma to beasts for a while now!) I am due in late June, so this is going to affect Blooddrop for a little while once I've given birth!

The main annoucement today is I am not going to accept any corset orders after the 5th of April. (I may have to adjust that date sooner if I get too many last minute orders in, so please order now if you would like me to make you something special.) My goal is to have all outstanding corset orders completed and shipped before I give birth in late June. If you order a mock-up with your order, it is most likely I can NOT meet this deadline goal. It can not say when I will accept corset orders after giving birth. It will probably be several months (September at the soonest) before I accept corset orders again. I won't be able to judge what sort of schedule I will have once the little dude arrives!

As for the Bath & Perfume side of things, I will stay open and accepting orders for as much as possible. It may come to me closing shop for just a few weeks, maybe a month or, hopefully, not at all, but with a slightly longer turn around time! I will aim to have a big stock of everything, so as when you place your order, all I have to do is pack and ship! This side of things I will play by ear.

Please note I can not forsee going into early labor or any sort of health emergency, of course! So, please keep this in mind when ordering from me. I strive to do my best and within my pregnany means!

If you have any questions, please email me!

Happily with a little pumpkin growing in me,
Astrid

IMPORTANT: Some emails are not arriving and are bouncing back to the senders. If you are trying to contact me and your emails are bouncing, please use my back up email address: blooddropclothing(at)hotmail(dot)com.  I am trying to resolve this problem with my hosting company.

Also, yesterday's Impromptu Lunch with Blooddrop was a lot of fun!!  I'm going to plan to do this again in a few months. Plus, you just can't go wrong with lunch at Max & Emily's! Tons of thanks to Tim who was kind enough to let us take over the back of his restaraunt!

I'm going to be bottling up a handful of Eau LaLa samples to tuck in with orders. Want a free sample? Place an order! (While sample supplies last, of course.)

16 February 2010:

Special request items need to be emailed to Astrid no later than Wednesday.


12 February 2010:


The Dances of Vice exclusive perfume is now also available for direct purchase here at Blooddrop!


11 February 2010:


I thought a little love and warmth would be a nice touch for this weekend, so how's about a little sale to show how much I love you fabulous ladies?!



20 January 2010:


FINALLY! Valentine perfumes are here and I hope you love them as much as I do! I had a ton of fun creating these and am very proud of these blends. They are all so beautiful!

In addition to what is here, there will be a limited edition exclusive available at Scent Addict/Magical Omaha and an exclusive creation for the brand new Dances of Vice Etsy Store! So keep your eyes on those two (three) places!

If you have any questions or see anything amiss, please let me know! I might have missed something in all my pressing and hard work to get the website updated!

More fabulousness is coming this year, so stick with Blooddrop and sign up to the mailing list!

Smooches and hugs,

20 January 2010:


Due to an error on my part, my ENTIRE batch of  La Choc-Confiture came out more firm than is to my liking! (And merde! There is a typo on the labels!) At the same time, they are still usable and still wonderfully scrubby and moisturizing ONCE you manage to scoop the polish out of the jar. I don't want to throw these away, since they are still too nice for that, but I don't want to charge you for them. So, I will give one jar free with each order of $45 or more (before shipping). Just know that you will need a little spoon to scoop the scrub out of the jar. Once it is in your hands, it's fine!


19 January 2010:


La Confiture pour la Peau is available plus it's limited edition version, La Choc-Confiture!
More to come!!

xoxox

16 January 2010:


Today is the last day to purchase Winter limited editions and the group of perfumes that are being discontinued. See the axe list a few entries below.

I am hoping to have La Confiture pour la Peau up some time this weekend or early next week. If you want me to hold any of the perfumes whose last day is today in order to combine ship with the soon-to-come Confi', please let me know!

Also, please don't ever feel shy to ask me if you're looking for a particular Blooddrop perfume of the past! I just might what you're looking for!!

Bon samedi les filles!!
Astrid :}


14 January 2010:


A new, limited edition treat is now available: Biscuits de Bain! 'Biscuits' in French are cookies and you are going to LOVE these! They are similar to bath fizzies, but are incredibly nourishing for the skin!  Since this is something very new for me to offer and very time consuming to make, I only made a very small amount. Depending on how this first batch sells will determine if I make more. But for now, please consider them very, very limited edition! I hope you love these as much as I do!


13 January 2010:


As much as I'd hoped,  I will not be able to get the Valentine items up on the 16th. The 16th will still be the last day for Winter LE's and below listed perfumes that are being discontinued.

09 January 2010:

Follow me on Twitter!


Exciting new products are coming soon, too, but that's all I'm saying for now. ; }

04 January 2010:


With the beginning of the new year, I am bidding goodbye to many fragrances. Some perfumes may make returns in particular products (perhaps Peau will return this summer as a Mousse de Bain?), but for some is a matter of moving on and making space for others. Being a one-woman boutique has shown me that in order to give you the best customer service as possible and the best products, it is better that I have a restrained offering that is of high quality rather than too many bibbly bits that I can't keep track of or am offering for the heck of it! I am sorry if some of your favorites are leaving. I hope I am giving you enough time to stock up if you wish! 

And that said, here are the perfumes qui nous dites au revoir:
Au Bout du Monde
Blessed
Buche de Noel is leaving only until next Winter
Happy Birthday
La Tasseographie
Le Palais
Oooh La La
Peau
Said the Spider to the Fly
Translucent
The Division of Strange, Audacious and Peculiar Assemblies, all five perfumes
Lady Poppycock
Mrs. Picklelees

These perfumes will remain available while stock remains or until the 16th, which will also be when the Winter limited editions leave as well. If stock remains after that time, you will probably see leftovers on Blooddrop Etsy.

To all my wonderful, dear and precious customers of 2009, a million thanks for your business and for helping Blooddrop grow!
I have lots of wonderful things to bring you for 2010, so I hope you will continue to stay with me and keep an eye out here for announcements!

Remember to sign up for the email list as well! Scroll down a bit on this page and fill in your address in the box!

Best wishes to all of you and keep cozy!
Astrid

The below special is going to remain in effect through the 31st! :}

xoxox

14 December 2009:


Today through the 26th (Boxing Day)....

An Orange in Your Slipper limited edition perfume oil:
Before the wide availability of delicious fruits year round, it was common to receive an orange in your slipper or stocking as a Christmas gift. This perfume oil commemorates those days and is a delightful blend of  blood orange, tangerine, sweet orange and mandarin! This perfume oil is not available for purchase.

Orders of $45 and up (before shipping) will receive a complementary 5ml bottle of  An Orange in Your Slipper.

Orders of $85 and up (before shipping) will receive the complementary 5ml bottle of An Orange in Your Slipper AND either a complementary Mousse de Bain, Huile de Bain or  Eau Glacee/Eau Douce as a thank you gift  in with your order! You may state a preference, but it will depend on the stock on hand.

This is my way of giving you a little something special for the holidays!

xoxox.

10 December 2009:


Bucephalus is sold out. Thank you!


04 December 2009:


Just wanted to give you lovely customers, who are waiting for their order, a heads up that I've gotten a bit behind due to morning sickness (really, it's anytime of the day sickness), but am doing my best to catch up as quickly as possible! Thank you SO MUCH for your patience!!

24 November 2009:

As of today, Blooddrop no longer offers standard airmail for non-US orders. I will only ship via priority airmail and the shopping cart will calculate the base rate for this. If you order exceeds this, you will be billed for the difference. I am sorry to disappoint some of you, but it is an important means to streamlining my business *and* a quicker and more reliable means for you to receive your orders!


11 November 2009:

Winter limited editions are here! In addition to limited edition perfumes, there are also limited edition bath goods that I've brought back! Please note that all new limited edition items will not begin to ship until next week at the soonest since I'm still finishing up labelling!

Blooddrop has also made an exclusive scent for Scent Addict! Stop on by over there to see what's their special Blooddrop offering!

The Autumnal scents will be up through the weekend and will come down on Monday.

Blooddrop's Open House is right around the corner and is being held on the 21st! If you would like to have an invitation emailed to you, please drop me a line. It is a LOT of fun, a lot of smelling and testing, and a fair amount of champagne sipping!

Holiday shipping deadlines:
US: place your orders for Hannukah no later than the 4th and Christmas no later than 14th of December.
Non-US standard air mail: place your orders no later than the 1st of December
Non-US priority mail: place your orders no later than the 4th of December.
Please note that I am guess-timating for non-US orders. Some countries are slow to deliver their mail!
I will do my best to notify you as soon as possible if anything runs out of stock and/or could delay your order so that you may make substitutions or receive a refund.

I hope you are as excited about this update as I am!

xoxoxox,
Astrid :}
