Please note that this schedule is very rough, and the dates shown below can move a couple of weeks one way or the other. However, this should provide a reasonable guideline, which I’ll try to update every couple of weeks or so.
Through November 30, 2024: During this time, I’ll be focused on fulfilling customer requests that I’ve received over the last few months. While I’m fully booked and unable to take new orders (with the exception of box making materials), I expect to have some extra items available. Look for those around December 4th! Be sure to sign up for my newsletter to be notified when new items are listed.
December 1, 2024 – December 31, 2024: I’ll be taking the month of December to prepare more lumber for upcoming boxes.
January 1, 2025 – February 28, 2025: During this time, I'll be dedicating my efforts to a special project that I'm excited to share with you. Stay tuned for updates and a sneak peek in December!
March 1, 2025 - April 30, 2025: I’ll be working on the next batch of items, which will include 100–150 boxes, carriers, and trays. Feel free to reach out with any requests or inquiries!
Thank you so much for your interest in my products and your support over the past thirty-plus years!
Starting in 2024, I've made the difficult decision to no longer offer pre-orders, where payment is made upfront and then I make the item. Instead, I will only offer items that are completed and ready to ship to you.
However, I will still take requests for specific items and contact you once they are completed. I believe this new approach will have several benefits for both you and me. I have no intention of slowing down in the workshop; in fact, I have several projects that I've been wanting to try for a long time. This new method will allow me to explore these projects and offer them for sale on the website.
Please read below for additional information on how items become available, how to request a particular item, and other pertinent details.
I'm more than happy to take requests! If you're looking for a particular item, please don’t hesitate to contact me via email at robert@lehays.com or through the contact page by Clicking Here.
Additionally, you can now use the new "Request" button on each product page. This feature allows you to select the items and finishes you're interested in, enter your contact information, and send me the request directly from the website.
No matter how you contact me, I'll print your request and make a note to notify you when the item(s) become available, with no commitment to purchase on your part.
Your requests help me decide what items and finishes to work on next. Your emails and comments are very helpful!
Typically new items are listed for sale on the website every eight weeks or so. If you haven’t already, please be sure to sign up for my newsletter – I always send out an email the day before new items become available.
Any items completed and ready to ship can be viewed by CLICKING HERE
In the 1990’s I sold most of my items to wholesale clients including several magazine companies, QVC and others. A few years ago, I made the decision to slow down a bit and discontinue my wholesale business and concentrate fully on retail sales.
However – if you are a needlework designer, craftsperson or are hosting a retreat and would like to use my items for one of your projects please contact me so we can discuss your idea. Although I no longer offer the “typical” wholesale pricing - I will gladly pass along savings that come from combined shipping, packaging and so forth. Please contact me at robert@lehays.com I’m happy to work with you!
Once again thank you so much for your continued support, it’s very much appreciated! If you have any questions or comments, please don’t hesitate to contact me at robert@lehays.com or by CLICKING HERE!
Sincerely,
Robert LeHay
