Boo! Just kidding…nothing scary here. I’m deep in creation mode, crafting the next wave of houses and vases like a happy little lunatic. They’ll appear in the shop November 2nd, right after Halloween!
Nothing spooky, it’s all cute, cozy, and a little bit romantic <3

A heartfelt thank you to those adventurous brave souls who placed orders last night using only PayPal !!!
I'm pleased to share that card payments are now fully set up, tested, and running smoothly.
It only took four days of my life (give or take a few coffee breaks and long minutes of sheer panic ), but we got there and yes, it's kind of important!
I must add that, since this is a brand new website, a few payments might still fail as some banks take a little time to fully trust new platforms. If that happens, don’t worry – just try again or try another card. And of course, feel free to reach out if you need any help!
With love,

New Shop Launch – Wed / Thurs night (Finland) no exact time! It´s your evening in Europe and early afternoon in NY.
The Sold Out button seems to work yay !!!
my Stripe is having issues, so card payments does not always go through. If I can not solve it until the launch ,there might be only one payment method :
and that is PayPal - it works like a charm every time !
my elukkaceramics.com domain is fully transferred so this will be the permanent shop link from now on
just signed a contract with DHL Express and this is my only international shipping option at the moment
all orders from this launch will ship at once in mid-October ( I have to collect a certain number of parcels )
I’ll refund any extra shipping charges after I pack up the orders and know the final weight
every order comes with a small welcome gift as a thank-you…you’re the reason this little business keeps going, and I appreciate you so much!
With love,

New Shop Launch – Wed / Thurs night (Finland) no exact time! It´s your evening in Europe and early afternoon in NY.
So…I decided to go ahead and launch the new shop and I am sure, it’s probably going to have a few hiccups. Here’s what you might run into as a customer :
Carts Can Be Competitive
 Just like on Etsy, items will be in multiple carts at once. Only the first person to check out gets the item. If something disappears from your cart, it means someone else was faster. That’s just how the system works.
The “Sold Out” Button Doesn’t Always Show
 Sometimes the site doesn’t immediately mark items as sold out. I’ll be watching the update closely and will help manually if needed. If something looks weird, you are not able to buy a certain product a text should pop up “sorry, the item is out of stock”  ( = SOLD OUT )
Card Payments: Still in the Works
 Stripe should be working by launch. If not, we’ll go with PayPal only until I can sort it out. Either way, you’ll be able to check out , just not sure which method will behave first.
Website Traffic? Your Guess is as Good as Mine
 I have no idea how much traffic this site can handle. Etsy has glitched in the past (hiding my shop from half of you or not loading items at all), so honestly, we’ll just have to see how this new one performs in real time.
The important part: I’m here. I’ll help sort things out, adjust payments, issue refunds if something goes wrong, and do everything I can to make the launch as smooth as possible. If there’s a problem, I’ll work with you to fix it. You can absolutely trust me to handle things fairly just like before.
Thanks for being here, for your support, and for helping me figure this all out as we go. It’s a bit of an experiment — but a good one.
With love,
x Sissy

Hi friends!
So… turns out, building a shop from scratch is not as simple as clicking “open” and waiting for the confetti to fall…I wildly underestimated just how many little goblins can sneak into the system!
Here’s the current situation ( after 1 test sale + 1 actual sale ):
The “Sold Out” button? It has one job and it’s not doing it.
Card payments? Temporarily out of commission, but at least PayPal works already!
Some texts are invisible ninjas, blending in perfectly with the background. Others are showing up uninvited like that one random red sock in your laundry.
And the cherry on top: turns out they can’t connect my Finnish bank account. Which is kind of important when, you know… trying to get paid.
