Missing Boutique Items
It has come to my attention that there are individuals (members) who did not get back all their items after the boutique sales were closed. After closing the boutique, breakdown is fast and furious, so it is easy for us to place an item/s in the wrong “to be returned” pile.
I want to ask those of you who sold items in the boutique this year, to carefully look through your returned items (items that did not sell) and see if there are any items that don’t belong to you. I am sure you can understand that everyone wants their items to sell or at least be returned to them.

Just in case the boutique team made an error, please check over your returned items to confirm that all items belong to you.  If you find a stray item, please let me know.

A Big Thanks to You All
