Anyway, if you missed last week's email, we're so excited that we now have our fall wax seals, which definitely has got a woodland vibe to them. 

• Squirrel - We've got a little family of squirrels living in the tree in our backyard, and our kiddos love watching them scurry about. 
• Pumpkin - Looking forward to heading to the pumpkin patch today with my family 
• Mushroom - Mushroom lovers over here! 
• Acorn - Paired with the cutest oak branch
• Fall Leaves - And we love pressing these leaves, too! 
• Turkey - While we celebrate Thanksgiving in October here in Canada, we also still do like to have turkey during our thanksgiving dinners!

Recently, when this song called Trust in God by Elevation Worship came up on our worship service that I found myself uncontrollably sobbing through this part as I know how much God has seen us through this season especially this year with all the changes, and yet I still feel so lost in where God is leading us. 

Can you imagine, our wax seals alone are causing us grief in tariffs due to the fact that it is made with copper, which is a 50% tariff plus additional tariffs based on the country it is from, such as India which is at 50% and China which is currently at 35%? Our brass stoves and wax seals are being used for decorative purposes, but the tariffs still sadly apply. While we already have invested in our next collections, I really am not sure what God is planning for us next year in this regard.

On that note, I'd love to know what you think we should be doing. Some of you have been around with us from when we first started, some of you are our repeat customers, and some of you are new. Especially during COVID, we saw a huge uptake in our online courses and digital products and physical products, but now, with the current shipping challenges and tariffs, we're unsure where to invest our time and money to better serve our audience.
