Lili of the Valley

In case you haven't seen the news Lili of the Valley will not be selling digis after the end of the month. The EU regulations on selling digis have become much stricter and have made it very difficult to sell digis to other countries without calculating individual countries' taxes. So the good news is that they have some incredible offers on digis until the end of the month. The bad news is no more digis after that date. Of course this means no more Digistamp Boutique images which have only just moved to LOTV. So if you want any of those get them before the end of the month.

The other good news is that they will be going back to selling rubber stamps and printed paper pads. I love their papers and am very excited about them coming back. They will also be selling more of their precoloured art sheets which are great quality.

They hope to set up an Etsy shop to sell a smaller range of digis as Etsy will deal with the tax implications. 

It is such a shame that bureaucracy spoils things for small businesses.

Thanks for the 'heads up' on this Marianne. It's bad news about the digis, but I'm so pleased to hear they will be selling paper pads again.

Re your last paragraph agree totally Marianne, world gone mad and politicians making decisions that will effect the public at large and most likely not them. Just my humble opinion!

Such a shame, I think this has put a lot of companies out of business - at least we wont be loosing LOTV completely.

Thank you for the information. Love LOTV stamps and own quite a few including the ribbon stamps - they are timeless and always well received. I've also had the art sheets which are always printed on quality card and look fantastic even when on a basic layout.
