Okay, so here’s what I have done in the past and it works:
1. send me an email, with your first and last name AND your user name and how many you want to order.
2. I put those requests all in a file, and I then make enough for those requests and put them to the side.
3. I then email you and let you know you will need to order them within a week or so in order to insure that you get “your reserved” amount
That way even if by chance the “online store stock” runs out, I still will have enough of the reserve to fill your order.
I actually already have a “NOTIF” folder started with compiled emails of willow requests.
NOTE: We are not sure what form the willow foliage and branches will take this year. The first year it was wreaths, and then we were so tuckered out, we tried to do something we thought would be even more simple and less time consuming – hence the bundles, but they too are very time consuming, and they have become so popular we have a hard time keeping up with the orders, so we are trying to figure out another creative way, but quick way to use the same portion of willow foliage and branches. We’ll keep you updated.
