A Little Change of Plans Today!
Unfortunately, we weren't able to make it to Robert Plante today! Between a family wedding and everything else happening behind the scenes, we've been pulled in a few too many directions this weekend.
We're disappointed to miss seeing everyone, but sometimes there just aren't enough hours in the day!
And on that note… WE'RE STILL LOOKING FOR A FEW EXTRA HANDS!
With our busy holiday market season quickly approaching, we're looking for:
Market Staff – Friendly, outgoing people to help represent By Design DIY Decor at our upcoming holiday markets.
Traveling Workshop Instructors – Creative, personable people who would love to lead our DIY workshops at off-site locations.
If you're reliable, enjoy working with people and think either opportunity might be a good fit, we'd love to hear from you!
Send us a private message for more information.
Thanks for your continued support and understanding. We're looking forward to seeing everyone at our upcoming markets and workshops!

A little reminder from By Design!
(Check out to the end!)

First, apologies for sharing this again! Unfortunately, our Facebook posts aren't reaching everyone, and we want to make sure no one misses any important updates.

The next week or so is incredibly busy between family commitments, private workshops, markets, classes and keeping up with orders!

As a one-person business, I'll have very limited time to respond to messages and emails over the next several days. I'll do my best to get back to everyone as quickly as possible, but please expect some delays.

A few important reminders:

We'll be at the Robert Plante Fall Market this Saturday and Sunday!

We'll be closed October 13–15.

Our October 16 Porch Leaner Workshop still has spaces available!

Thank you for your patience, understanding and continued support! I really appreciate everyone who takes the time to read, comment on or share our posts. It makes such a difference for a small business, especially when Facebook isn't showing our updates to everyone.

Looking forward to seeing some of you at the market this weekend!

And Christmas is also being posted all the time... have you checked it out?
www.bydesign-decor.com

Should we play a little this or that, to make sure this get seen?
Holiday edition?
Which vibe should we lean into more?
Rustic Cabin?
Traditional Gingerbread?

Please help us decide by saying Rustic, or Traditional here, or... throw us a loop and give us something else!!
The winner will be ON SALE tomorrow... so it matters if you vote!

A little heads-up from By Design!

The next little while is going to be a BUSY one around here! Between private workshops, family commitments, markets, scheduled classes and keeping up with all of your orders, my days are pretty packed.

Because By Design is a small, one-person business, my response time will be a little slower than usual over the next week or so. I’ll still be checking messages and emails whenever I can, but replies may not be immediate.

If you’ve sent me a message, please know I haven’t forgotten about you! I’m working my way through everything as quickly as I can while also making sure orders, workshops and market prep all get the attention they need.

There will also be a few days when I am completely closed and stepping away from messages.

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding during one of our busiest stretches. I truly appreciate it!

And if you’re looking to join us for a workshop, there are still spots available in our upcoming Porch Leaner Workshop!

Can you help me get this seen by everyone, and let me know what you are doing for this Thanksgiving weekend :) Family, quiet time? We wanna hear it all!

IT’S WEDNESDAY BRAG TIME! 🙌
Okay, I’m bragging on my customers today because LOOK at what they made!
One of my favourite parts of what I do is seeing everyone start with the same basic pieces and then completely make them their own.
Every Wednesday I’m going to share a few projects that deserve a little extra attention — whether they were made in one of our classes, from a DIY kit, or created for a custom order.
Made something from By Design that you’re proud of? Send me a picture! I may feature yours next Wednesday. ❤️
