Back to the Blog!

So, we pretty much stopped posting here because:
#1 There were many more people connecting with us on Facebook, and
#2 Our template here was loading VERY slowly for some reason.

Well, you know how it goes, things change!
#1 Facebook went public with its IPO, and in an effort to better monetize itself, instituted new algorithms that basically make us business pages have to pay to "promote" our posts- and they still don't reach ALL our fans, and
#2 We got a new blog template to match our new website template!

So WE'RE BACK!!!!

We're still posting over on Facebook, but its easy for posts to get "lost" over there, so we realized we really needed to be archiving everything over here as well.  So tonight, we'll be posting all the news and announcements that occurred over the past few months- Enjoy!

Spring Announcements

Wow, is it really March already???

We have quite a lot going on at the Hero On My Arm studios! Even though we moved at the end of last year, it took us longer than we expected to get moved and back up to 100%. We're excited to say we're now all happily settled in to our new design studios:

We also have some new ways to get in touch with us- a new email address:

customerservice@heroonmyarm.com

And a new phone number:

And most exciting, turn around times are averaging:

key chains and name tapes and patches- 1 to 7 days
jewelry and sewn accessories (wallets, make up bags)- 7 to 21 days
custom purses- 14 to 28 days

We have a restocked section of pre made purses, all 25-50% off:

Moving is hard

Wow! This move has been SO much harder than we ever thought it would be. We would just like to say thank you times a hundred for all of our wonderful fans and customers who've been along for this crazy ride this summer as we picked up and moved half way across the country! We appreciate you more than you could ever know- without you all, we are nothing. We are working this week on getting caught up on all our emails and orders, so if you've sent us one, or your waiting on an order, please give us a few more days, we're working night and day for you all. We have a fabulous new team of seamstresses at our new studio, and they are sewing away like mad.
