Imagine

Imagine if we gathered together 100 mixed media artists from all over  and asked them to create a small charm or tag in their very own favourite style

Imagine if their message was one of positive affirmation

Imagine if we then took those pieces and used them to create a fabulous one of a kind dress form

Imagine how beautiful and special that would be

Imagine the chance to own that piece?

Hope

Imagine no more

Welcome to Creating Hope- Thank you for finding your way here.

Join us as we create along with 100 other artists. Watch it all unfold here on this blog from now until October 31st 2009.

Tarisota Sale and a chance to win

Its sale time at Tarisota .....

Now is your chance to stock up on those collections you missed out on - grab an extra one of  your favourite and to get some true bargains.

Sale splash-main

The sale started last night at 11.30pm and is on till 11.30pm on Sunday.  But be in quick .... when Tarisota has a sale the stock does not stick around long.

A few things to remember

Site slow to load

Please be patient with the site - it tends to get overloaded at sale time - so if you can't get in hit  refresh and try again.

Shopping Cart
We don't have a traditional shopping cart site ( which is a pain at sale time! )- so if you  want more than one item you will need to place separate orders - or put a note in checkout  - we will manually process your order for you in the order they come in.

Stock Levels
We have worked hard to make sure the stock levels are accurate but sometimes we get it wrong- we will let you know prior to shipping if something has sold out - many past collections have only 1 or 2 left in stock so you will need to be fast.

Order Confirmation
If you don't get a confirmation email - your order hasn't gone through!- email us at info@tarisota.com.au and we will process for you manually.

Combining orders
We will go though and combine orders - its great if you pop a note in the checkout comments but we will always look as well:).

Shipping
We make sure we give you the best rate with shipping that we can -  So while each item is listed with a shipping charge - that is for if you just order that one thing. Combos will never be the shipping amounts all added up- If you need a final total for direct deposit - shoot us through an email and we will get back to you. But in general AUS orders $10.00 express post overnight up to 3kgs.

Direct Deposit

All direct deposit customers we will be back in touch with you not long after your order is placed to confirm your final total.  No direct deposit orders will be sent until  confirmation of payment has been received.

Paypal

If you would like a paypal invoice - just email your order number through to richard@tarisota.com.au and he will send it on through :)

Email Orders
Its almost impossible for me to guarantee  you an item if you just email me your request - I can do my darndest but if someone else beats you to it I can't help you - sorry ..

International shipping
New Zealand - you'll note we have organized  a special deal for you on shipping - in keeping with our Aus shipping rates.

All other international shipping is at actual rate - with a discount for combined orders over $100.

Questions

Richard and I are both replying to emails through the sale period so anything you aren't sure on just ask away!

and finally a very fun give away - hidden in three orders will be  1 month subscriptions to the  I Want it all of your choice! Find the voucher and you are a winner!

So what you waiting for? head on over to the site and see what's up for grabs.

Sharing some Tarisota

I thought that I would share some more of the gorgeous Tarisota projects from the "French Market Place" kit. 

Rachel-June09--layout-2

This one because I love the photos.  This is how life should be all the time ..... walking on the beach and reaching out to hold Daddy's hand.  Abby I wonder if you know just how lucky you are to have a Daddy that loves more than anything in the world.

Rachel-June-09-Layout-1 

This one did not photograph at all well, you get that sometimes.  I loved the 7gypsies "colour wash" in this kit.  I've never used it before .... its awesome.
