Immediately following our sale, we will be offering 3 new styles of shoes/boots on September 8, and then another 3 styles before the end of the month. So, 6 new fall shoes this month alone. We get quite a lot of emails about the frustration with our out-of-stocks and such limited inventory. I really do understand the frustration. But we came from handmade and we need to grow in a way that is scalable for us. It won't be long before the site is full and this problem is gone--my goal is 3-6 months and we will no longer have all our old styles displayed. For now, though, we need them. After all, if they were gone, we would have only three shoes! How sad would that be! So, until we are stocked in at least one or two of each of all of our signature styles, the sold out shoes will remain visible.

Sometimes I get bent out of shape about having a website of mostly out of stock styles. But, then I remember when we didn't have a website and all our sales were on a Paypal link because the shoes sold too fast for Etsy. And I remember when I didn't have any staff and a big run of sales would knock me over like a tidal wave. To grow as much as we have in the last year, I am happy. And I tell myself, especially while the children are small, to enjoy today and to not be in such a mad rush to get to tomorrow. Tomorrow often arrives in a blink anyway.

Back to the Luna shoes, this is one of the three styles coming on September 8. The others are the Julie and the Callista boot in grey. Here are a few photos of the Luna shoes:
