~ welcome welcome to final gift shop sale ~

The time has come to officially close this chapter. After the latest new about the PPWR regulation, it became clear that running a shop brought me more stress than happiness. I’m not sure what the future will hold, but for now you have the final chance to collect anything you’d love! There’s also a selection of original artwork and you can collect any of the Forest Whispers I’ve sent out.

Thank you so so much for all your support these last years! I’m looking forward to ship out this last batch of magic mail to you!

With love, magic and starlight,
TJ

~about the FInal shop event ~

  • There has been a lot of changes in the world, especially when it comes to shipping and postage. The latest news being the PPWR regulation and it became clear to me that running a shop causes me more stress than happiness. And while I’ve loved shipping out magic mail to beautiful shouls, the shop as we’ve known it has to come to an end.

    So for this one last time, you’re able to collect the magic that I’ve created in the last decade.

    You will find a selection of prints and bookmarks, mystery bundles and bookmark bundles, but also an actual original painting and one (or several) of the letters I’ve shipped out after I started my mail club, Forest Whispers. 🥰✨

    I hope there’s something you love for yourself or as gifts! Thank you so so much for supporting me all these years!

  • Each bundle has 10 items, 6x bookmarks and 4× 5×7in (13×18cm) prints.
    If you’d collect everything separately and at full price, it’d be valued at EUR 98 (exc. shipping)

    After Etsy closed in May 2024, I knew I had to eventually look into what I desired with all the stock I had left. Since I have over a hundred bookmark designs, in various amounts and I knew that creating listings for each one would be way too much work now.

    So to keep it fun and magical, I decided to create mystery art bundles. It's bittersweet as once these are gone, they will be a memory for me, but hopefully a wonderful addition to your walls, shelves and books. 😊

  • In the mystery bundle listings I haven’t specified what paper the bookmarks and prints are as I changed the type twice before I settled on Tintoretto Gesso.

    The other paper types I had were the HVO Offset and Sulfate-free double coated.

    All paper types were 300 g/m2 and the difference is felt/seen in the smoothness of the paper and the color. Some prints are more off-white than a bright white. No matter the type you’ll get, you’ll have a wonderfully nice sturdy print and bookmark.

  • I had a lot of bookmark designs and the stock varied greatly. To keep things simple and eliminate decision fatigue, I bundled them up keeping in mind which designs work well together color and/or theme-wise.

    If you’d love to collect monthly magic automatically, please join Forest Whispers Mail ❤

~about the original paintings ~

  • When you’re considering to collect an original, please note that the price is for the painting alone.

    Shipping will be tracked & signed and have to be paid separately as I need to look up the final shipping for you.

    But this way you can already claim which pieces you’d love to have.

    I will message you at the email provided in your order with the final costs.
    But to give you an idea it will hover between EUR 11 until 25 euros, depending on where you live.

  • This is always possible as I understand that tracked shipping is a pretty steep cost.

    I will share my honest thoughts on this so you can decide what you’d like to do.

    In all honesty, I stopped offering tracked shipping as it didn’t really made that much of a difference in the end. It only matters when you’d also added signed upon delivery. In all the years I’ve shipped out packages, I’ve had little to no issues with using untracked letter mail and I’ve shipped high valued orders like this all the time.

    One thing to keep in mind is that there are no replacements for an original painting. If something does happen to your package, full refunds aren’t possible due to the nature and reasons for this final shop sale. This is why I’d advice choosing tracked & signed shipping, but please use your discernment and to what extent you’d be willing to risk untracked letter mail, okay?

    Thank you for your understanding, lovely. ♥

  • In the listing you will see the size of the painting and any extra information that I could recall.

    I haven’t been the greatest with scribbling down on what paper I worked on, but I almost only work with watercolors (White Nights, Mijello Gold & Holbein) and the linework is done with either black ink pens (Uni-Pin) or colored pencils (Faber Castell and Bruynzeel Design)

  • Unless stated otherwise, alas, no.

    Shipping costs can get ridiciously high, so to keep it all as affordable as possible, I don't add frames.

    Also, frames are personal taste in the end as well, haha.

    The dimensions are always added, so you can check upfront if you have a frame or check for potential costs at a framer.

~About shipping & delivery ~

  • Order processing will start September 4th and will be processed in the way orders came in.

    Once you’ve gotten your shipping notification, an estimation of the transit is as follow:

    • Netherlands - 2-3 business days

    • Europe - 4-8 business days

    • Rest of The World - 10-14 business days

    Please know this is an estimation and that I have no insights in the transit when it’s untracked. However, if you'r order takes longer than 30 business days to arrive, message me.

    Please also know that I’m not responsible for any delays, damages or additional fees that might occur because of this.

  • Currently I use a standard flatrate shipping via PostNL.

    While it’s untracked, it has always proven to be reliable and it’s what I used when I had Etsy as well. Hiccups rarely happened and when mail was delayed it was due to world happenings or events that happened in the Post World.

    Tracked shipping (with signed upon delivery) hovers between 11 - 30 euros depending on where you live.

    If after staring at your cart, you'd prefer this, do message me please.

  • Order processing will start September 4th.

    Since this is the very last event and pre-orders for Forest Whispers Mail are possible, processing can take a bit longer as I have to order materials after I know how many pre-orders I have. Then I have to actually print & cut bookmarks and prints

    You will always get a notification once your order is shipped.

  • Most lovelies choose untracked, but if you know that post & handling are a bit messy at the moment for your country, please use your discernment when collecting goodies and message me for tracked shipping. I will check what the costs are for you.

    Places I’m unfortunately not shipping to due to packages constantly getting lost: Mexico

  • Customers are responsible for any customs and import taxes that may occur.

    Please also know that I’m not responsible for any delays, damages or additional fees that might occur because of this.

  • I always do my utmost best to ship the goodies as sturdy and protected as possible. However if the goodies still get damaged because of rude postmen, message me with a photo (or photos). I’m more than willing to send new goodies if payment for shipping is done again.

    Please note that since some goodies are a mystery or low in stock aka designs will sell out, I’m not certain if I can ship the same ones again.

~about refunds & returns ~

  • The main intention for this event is to send as many prints & bookmarks to new homes and to close this chapter in my business.

    I trust that when you place your order, you know you want the goodies and/or the mystery bundles.

    Of course is something arrives damaged, do message me! I’m always willing to check what we can do to make sure you’re happy.

  • As long as your order isn’t shipped yet, then yes, you can cancel your order. Please message me and I’ll refund it.

  • Due to the nature of these goodies, aka you’re able to see the content directly after paying, refunds on non-physical and digital products, like online classes, donations or downloadable PDF's, are not possible.

    Thank you for understanding!

~ Other questions ~

  • As long as you’re okay with receiving the goodies a bit latter, then yes, of course!
