Where did the storefront go?

[Paul Mc]

Hello everyone,

As a Christmas idea, I thought my partner could buy me one of the orchid shirts and the calendar but the calendar is all I can find now. Did the store disappear completely?

Huh, I just noticed that too! I can't find way to get to the normal store. . .

I noticed that too, but luckily I had copied the link for someone in another thread, before it disappeared. And it still works! Here you go:

OrchidBoard Support Store

BUT this year's calendar is not there, probably because Marty didn't have them made by cafepress (which makes the rest of what's in the store I think) So I assume that means having to order the current calendar and the shirt separately.

I think I'm going to get a 2012 calendar in the support shop with pics from previous years, because international shipping for the new one is TWICE as much!! $7 shipping for the older calendars, $14.50 for the new one....

I took the link down as it was confusing people. I had few people that ordered 2012 from cafe press but they wanted to get the new calendar, so to avoid the confusion, I decided to remove it temporarily until we're done with calendar sales.

I didn't use CafePress this year as we printed them on different paper and made them larger. The calendar amateur that I am, I figured bigger is better and heavier grade art paper is better too...however that messed up shipping as it's now heavier and larger to ship. Next year we will get it right, heheh.

Calendar sales are pretty slow...it must be because of the black Friday/cyber monday. At this rate, looks like I'll be happy to break even.

Well, I got my calendar the other day and I have to say its lovely (and not just because my photo is in there). I really like the nice heavy cover and quality pages and the squares for each day are nice and large so you can write reminders to yourself.

I think you did a great job Marty and hopefully sales will pick up!

In an effort to boost sales - I just ordered my copy of the calendar. I've never purchased any of the prior year's calendars... so I'm really excited to participate.

Thanks to all for all the hard work in putting it together! Now I can admire all of your wonderful pictures at the office, even when I'm off-line.
