Oak&Fourth Designs

Ocean waves inspired custom order that went out a while ago For those who were looking for a last minute custom in time for mothers day, at 12pm CST today I will be posting some ready to decal cups as well as some completed styles. These will be available for local pickup in Winnipeg by Saturday as long as design is determined today! I was hoping to get these posted last week but a broken phone screen has allowed me to do everything except hit that post button new phone... is up and running and ready to get some cups posted! Keep an eye out for those on Facebook #oakfourthdesigns

To my wonderful customers. Normally I try and keep posts short and sweet but today will be more of a mental health check in. Not gonna lie the last little while has been rough. For those who don't know me on a more personal level I'd love to share a bit of why I started this business. I opened for custom orders January 2020 with so much excitement! I had been practicing my craft for quite a while and was ready to share. And then the world went into lockdown, which also left ...me with more time for family and to create new and gorgeous things. 4 months into opening this small business my world was flipped upside down when I lost my dad instantly in an untimely accident. I took the whole month of May off and got right back to making as it felt like an escape from the grief. Fast forward to December 2020 when Christmas was in full swing. Over 200 custom tumblers were finished and went out over November and December. This left me exhausted, as well as in December we learned we were expecting another little one who left me feeling quite ill and burnt out on energy. Getting back into that creative space has been mentally hard these days. I think alot of us are struggling mentally with the state of the world and have felt alot of weight compounded onto us due to what seems like a never-ending lockdown. I see alot of makers and small business owners feeling the same as the future continues to bring uncertainty. For the time being there will still be a small amount of custom orders accepted however it will be on a case to case basis. You will see more ready to sell/decal designs available and these will have a shorter turnaround. Friday, April 30th photos will be posted to a Facebook album with a handful ready to complete for mothers day. Mid July all orders will close as we prepare to welcome our new little bundle of joy and adjust to having 2 little ones. To those who have made it this far I appreciate you taking this time, I have absolutely adored being able to create each unique and one of a kind item I have over the past year+ but need to take the time to do what's best personally and mentally going forward.

Some of my favorites custom orders include colors and a few small details where I get to surprise the buyer! the color shift mermaid spots took these to the next level. 20 oz skinny starting at $45. Great for hot or cold ... #oakfourthdesigns #winnipeg #gypsymermaid
