'Zip A Dee Doo Dah' Second Edition - 3 ONLY

As the May kit sold out so soon after release, I've managed to pull together 3 more kits for those who may have missed out. There are a small number of replacements to the original contents, as follows:

1 sheet 'Herbs Annual' vintage children's book replaced with 1 sheet 'Kittens' vintage children's book
1 sheet vintage children's dictionary replaced with 1 sheet vintage children's poetry book
1 page vintage romance novel replaced with 1 sheet vintage romance comic
1 'Domestically Disabled' printed tissue replaced with 1 vintage girl-themed greeting card
1 Kikki K yellow polka dot gift tag replaced with 1 Route 66 fabric patch
1 Kikki K red heart paperclip replaced with 1 red strawberry plastic clip
3 tiny gold pearl buckles will be 2 tiny gold pearl buckles

These contents remain the same:

8"x11.5" piece houndstooth vintage wallpaper
1 page vintage sheet music
Approx. 8"x10" piece Michael Miller 'Tweet Tweet' fabric
1 sheet Dr Seuss double-sided writing paper
A5 piece Cristina Re lace vellum
1 vintage time card
1 piece teal sequin waste / punchinella
1 vintage German cigarette card (will vary)
1 sheet Nut and Bee 'Cat in Magnolia' notepaper
1 length scalloped guipure lace
A selection of Poppies For Grace sticky notes

1 handmade by dQ stitched felt and paper music note (colour will vary)
1 Kikki K 'Dinner Party' conversation card
1 dQ quote card - What a Wonderful Day
2 vintage scrabble tiles (letter selection will vary)

With these changes in mind, please check the original listing for image! I will be uploading these 3 last kits to etsy (providing they are still available) tomorrow, as etsy is currently down for maintenance. In the meantime, please email Q Tea to order.

As a thank you to my subscribers and customers, May's kit is the fullest ever, with a few handmade dQ touches. To my fantastic customers and creative team, thanks for making Q Tea so much fun to run over this past *almost* 2 years. I'll certainly still be around as a lurker and customer myself, as Jodi takes over the reigns from June's kit onwards.

Introducing the new Ms Q Tea

I am thrilled to announce that the new owner of Q Tea Kits, as of mid-May, will be the gorgeous, bubbly and Q-utely creative Jodi Mann!
Jodi is super excited to be taking on Q Tea and is already brimming with ideas... as well as a robust stash of vintage goodies just waiting to be exploited in future kits. I am confident that Q Tea will see fantastic new opportunities with Jodi at the helm.

As Q Tea is not closing, but being handed over, there will no longer be a closing sale. During May there will a few small changes, such as the paypal and banking details, which will be reflected in June invoicing. Q Tea Kits will have a new home on etsy, so watch this space for updates. Until then any previous kits will still be available at http://danielleq.etsy.com/. Jodi lives just a few suburbs away from me, so shipping times will be the same as they have ever been for both Australian and international customers.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact myself or Jodi by emailing qteakits@gmail.com. And don't forget to add your 2 cents to the current flickr discussion in the Q Tea Gallery on what YOU want to see in the future from your favourite eclectic kit club :)

You can also win a Q Tea Kit this month by joining in the challenges at Aussie Scrapjacked and Method Playground... have fun creating!

Exciting news from Q Tea

Q Tea will not be closing!

Instead, from mid-May Q Tea Kits will be in new, capable and creative hands, bringing you ongoing monthly kits in true Q Tea style.

More information to come, so watch this space :)

Edited to add: I've started a new discussion in the flickr group - join in here, and help the new owner learn about Q Tea customers, style and anything else you want to add! As soon as the details have been fleshed out, I'll give you a proper introduction.

May Sneak Peek

Be prepared for a big kit for our grand finale, featuring 22 different items, including vintage, handmade and whimsical details. Full kit reveal on the 24th - this kit is very limited in quantity, email to pre-order.

Announcement

Q Tea Kits will be closing in June 2009. The May kit will be the last official kit, and there will be a de-stash sale full of kit items and mini collections in our etsy shop in June.

The closure is a business decision due to the drastic decline in sales over the past 6 months. On a personal level, I have had time to think it over, make the decision, be a bit sad, and have now progressed to excitement about other creative possibilities I can pursue both in my etsy shop and by other means - if you'd like to know what I get up to after Q Tea, keep an eye on my personal blog - http://daniellejq.blogspot.com/ :)

Customers with a pre-paid subscription will be refunded the value of their outstanding kits on their subs by the end of May. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at qteakits@gmail.com

A sneak peek of the May kit will be uploaded tomorrow!
