Christmas Deadline & Shipping Update 2024

Shipping Update

As you probably know by now, Canada Post is on strike. As a small business owner in rural Canada, this majorly effects me. Canada Post is my only local shipping option. However, I am committed to making this work for my customers. For now, I have removed Canada Post shipping options entirely from my website. Instead, I will be using a courier to get all my packages to the Chit Chats hub in Calgary which can then deliver to the USA via USPS, and to the rest of Canada through their other partnered couriers. I am unable to ship to PO boxes and rural routes at this time, as they are only serviced by Canada Post. 

I will be sending my orders to Calgary weekly, and they will be distributed from there. Please account for additional delivery time with that in mind, as well as the increased volume all other carriers will be experiencing during the strike (as well as this seasonal time). It's a tough situation for many of us, and I appreciate your patience and understanding as us small creators do our best to figure this out. If you have any questions, I am happy to help.

Christmas Deadline 

One of my business goals has been to work towards a better work/life balance as a small business owner, creator & full time mom. I cannot control the strike, I cannot control delivery times. I am choosing PEACE and setting an early cutoff for Christmas orders that need to be shipped:

December 2

Most of my items are made to order, so this should ensure I have enough time to create all your beautiful items and allow sufficient time for delivery. Remember, packages can get very backed up this time of year (especially customs). I can also send you an image if you'd like to print something to put in a card for your recipient! I cannot guarantee any arrival dates.
 

If you are local to Grande Prairie or the surrounding area, you can place your Christmas orders up until December 21.

I will be dropping them all off at the Primitive Lane for you to pick up there (contact me for the local code). You can also shop a selection of my items there, as well as at the Centre for Creative Arts in Grande Prairie.

My regular creation time of 5-7 business days (plus holiday shipping times) will resume in the New Year, as I take some time out of the studio to enjoy the holiday season with my family.

Spoon Wrap Ring

I absolutely LOVE my spoon ring! It is such a statement piece. I love that it is made from the entire spoon, not just the handle. It is incredibly comfy/lightweight to wear as well, despite its size. Couldn't be happier with this one-of-a-kind purchase!

So Pleased!

My order of 5 floating heart necklaces arrived in a very timely manner today. It is so nice to see my Mother's silver transformed into such meaningful pieces for her great granddaughters. As they grow older I hope they will value this link to their family history. I am so pleased with the entire order including the little velvet bags. Thank you Callista for your excellent work and your attention to detail!

Tiffany

I have purchased a Tiffany earrings for my daughter’s 18th birthday. One of the things I like best about Tiffany jewelry is the stamped feature. There is something so industrial, basic & historic about the approach of stamping silver. I use silver plate everyday in my kitchen as I love the patina, weight and beauty of the pieces.

I was viewing key chains by Tiffany and felt the pricing was outrageous, which led me to this website. I found these beautiful heart shaped key chains. I ordered one for my daughter with her birth date stamped on it. Hers is the bridal wreath pattern from the 1950’s. I ordered a park lane heart key chain for myself which is vintage 1936. My third purchase was a stamped spoon key chain for my Dad who is a Huge, Beatle fan. “All we need is love”, can’t wait to give it to him for his birthday!

My next purchase will be a coffee scoop, what a fabulous piece.

Callista, what a talented artist you are. I love what you are producing and presenting to the world.

Easy Crochet Plaid Blanket

I came across your Easy Plaid Crochet Blanket pattern over a year ago on YouTube and I loved it! I had to try it.
I just finished my version of the pattern. I am a visual learner and your video was a very clear and concise explanation. Thank you for sharing. This is a gift for my son-in-law.

Amazing work! 100% recommend!

Callista is an incredible artist that works very hard to create unique pieces. Most of my daily jewelry is her work, I have been wearing it for years and it has held up beautifully. Beyond her incredible work, the customer experience is seamless. Shipping is fast and the packaging is gorgeous. While I love to treat myself with her products, Callista’s work has also become my go to gift for any occasion. I love gifting personalized wedding sets to newlyweds, swear spoons to my friends who are having a tough week, initial and birth flower jewelry to the mamas in my life… there is truly something for every occasion and I love gifting these pieces that have such special meaning and are of the highest quality.

Beautiful gift

I ordered the Sister heart necklace and my sister LOVES it! Made the other sister jealous, so now I have to order another one. :) Fast shipping w/ tracking. Definitely recommend.

Beautiful custom work

I’ve purchased a few pieces from Callista, including a custom mini bead necklace. It was easy to contact her and discuss different ideas when I couldn’t find exactly what I was looking for on the website. She gave great design advice and provided sample pictures to make sure I was happy with my choices. I love the pieces she makes and the turnaround time was practically overnight!

This review is long overdue. I have purchased several wonderful items from Callista. My first purchase was a butter knife for a gift and a key chain for me, both were awesome. I then went back for more items for myself, a great heart shaped spoon necklace which I love and wear all the time and 3 rings (was planning of gifting one but couldn’t part with it). So if you are looking well made beautiful things for yourself or for a gift look no further. Each item comes with a little bit of the silverware’s history, like it’s style and year of the pattern.
