If you live in the Lower Mainland and want to order anything, but prefer to pick up rather than pay the shipping charge, you can do one of the following:
* Order online through the shopping cart, and pay by credit card or bank debit (via PayPal). Select "British Columbia" as the shipping destination, and put this code in the "voucher" box during check-out: 21231100 (If you do not, your order will be shipped by default). I will email you to arrange a convenient day/time for you to meet me downtown for pick-up.
* Order via email at artofadornment@araneum.ca (include item #'s and your full name), and pay cash in person. Exact change in Canadian dollars required. Items will be kept on reserve for you for up to 7 DAYS, during which time we can meet downtown for a quick coffee & I can give you your items.

Just bumping this to add that I won't be selling stuff at SinCity anymore. It's just too frustrating. People spilling drinks on it, people sitting on it (although you should NEVER sit on a pool table even if it's got a cover on it, it can throw the balance off), and the fabric ribbons often get soiled. It's so hot in there sometimes that when people try on a fabric choker their sweat, make-up and perfume gets all over the fabric and I can't always wash it out = ruined stock.
BUT that being said, I can certainly bring some specific things to SinCity if you're going to be there, should you ever want a closer look at something. Otherwise I'm fine for meeting up elsewhere downtown at other times, to save you the shipping charge. I'm not fond of selling on consignment, so you won't find my work in local stores (for similar reasons to selling at SinCity, once someone has got make-up and perfume all over the velvet or stretched the lace out, I can't re-sell it if the store can't either). Plus the mark-up can be pretty hefty at times - it's much cheaper to buy direct from me.
