Last call if anyone wants to order anything for pickup this Sunday in Joliet! I definitely wasn't able to make EVERY toy I wanted to, so don't be afraid to reach out and make sure you get what you want!

The Etsy shop is PERMANENTLY closed. It won't be re-opening.
Gavyn's Toy Box, however, will still run off of Facebook completely until I decide on a new website to inhabit. Of course I will share any updates when they happen! But for now all orders can be put through with me directly 😁
Happy Tuesday!

This week's re-stock plans. 6 each of:
Bamboo Chandeliers, Small Puzzled Robots, and Wiffle Shakers. (No prices mentioned on this post because I'm actually in the process of re-doing everything price-wise since materials have gone up. Old prices will be changed soon. Thanks for your patience!)

A day in the life of a pet-toy maker:

For anyone curious--- I order my charms in bulk from a sugar glider toy-part vendor. In this case, I started with a 2lb bag. I then sort through it once to get out what goes into my "lucky bag" AKA things I normally buy on their own separately and have their own storage area in my office besides just regular charms. [The small bag INSIDE the bigger bag]

Now I'm at the point where I've sorted out all the charms that in my opinion are NOT bird-safe. Ones that aren't hard plastic, or have a shiny coat on them, or they're just REALLY tiny. So these will go into my "glider-only" bin. Which I don't actively sell glider toys and my bin is getting full... so maybe I should see about reselling them back 🙃

Then I'll sort through what's left of the bulk mix again based on size. I have designated storage for "XS, S, M, L, and XL" charms. Once they're size sorted, I'll then re-sort each size by color as I put them away because I'm completely insane. 😆

Did I need to share this? Absolutely not... but I needed a break from sorting charms 😂
Happy Wednesday!

Today's re-stock alert. Not a popular one at shows, but a popular one on Etsy--- Mahogacoladas-- a chewable foraging cup stuffed with colored crinkle paper and a mahogany pod slice inside. "Accented" with a shreddable lollipop stick 'straw' and a plastic flower ring on the rim. Very cute. One of Gavyn's favorites. And the pod cups themselves are very durable! (Can remove the flower ring for .25c less if you dont want plastic)

Mahoga-coladas.
