Wholesale Info

I am glad that you are interested in selling or consigning my products. Please review the wholesale and consignment requirements below and contact me by filling out this Web Form. We can set up a meeting time to discuss consignment terms, or you can request to receive a wholesale catalog and order form, as well as samples of my most popular products. Once your wholesale account is established, I will send you a link and password to my online catalog. This will allow you to place your future wholesale orders online quickly and easily.
