International shipping from my Etsy Shop

Etsy now has international first class mail shipping. I have started adding that to my shop, starting with Canada (doesn't require agricultural inspection for most items), and with small items of which I have some idea what they weigh. I'm going to need some time to add everything, and every location (postal rates are different depending on where things go), and please make sure that you are aware of import duties and taxes that your country will charge to you (not to me, and I have no way of knowing what they will charge, they are up to you to pay). A treasury from Pamela of the 808Hui:

Craft Fair at Hilo High School, Sat 12/1, 9-3

It's that time of the year again, the holidays are upon us and so is the Hilo High School PTSA (annual) Holiday Faire. It's in the cafeteria, 9-3 on Saturday, Dec. 1.

I'll be there with some plants, jewelry and beads and other jewelry making supplies. New this year are some Chinese crystal strands, some pewter spacer beads, lots of new freshwater pearls and some new Swarovski crystal colors. Of course I will also have some velvet seeds, both drilled and not drilled. For plants I'll have some clove seedlings, velvet seed tree seedlings and definitely bell pepper seedlings, probably some tree tomatoes, spider lilies, mondo grass, possibly a small Norfolk Pine or 3. I have dried cloves but I forgot to put them on the list so I don't know whether they'll allow me to sell those there.

Diane from the Lampwork Etc. Etsy Team put this treasury together that fits the subject of this post perfectly:

(and justified in pico to remove the lots of extra spaces by me. Spaces take up just as much space in a computer as non-space characters do)
