Blue Peonies Art Print

Note on Shipping:

Did you know that I only charge a flat rate for shipping for greeting cards, art prints and calendars regardless of how many you purchase?

You just pay for the biggest item in your cart and then you can add alllll the other cards, prints and calendars for no extra shipping!! I also don’t charge extra for Rural delivery (I got you country folk, I was raised in the wop wops 😊)

So, say you buy an A4 art print – within NZ shipping is $7.50 (this is what I get charged, no markup from me). Then you add a calendar, wait 2 calendars for both your sisters-in-law. Then 8 greeting cards and 3 more A4 art prints… you will still only pay $7.50 shipping.

I also have a free pickup option for my local peeps. Just select ‘Free Local Pickup’ from the shipping options in checkout and you won’t pay a thing for shipping. And let’s be honest, I usually hand deliver them if I am going past!

International folks

The shipping from NZ is really expensive for us (the downside of living on a beautiful island in the middle of nowhere). But same deal, you only pay one flat rate for the largest item. So, same price for 1 art print as it is for 10… or more! (I mean if you want to order 1500 art prints, I will be so frikken grateful for the order I am happy to shout you the extra shipping, even if you live in Antarctica!).

Packaging my items as beautifully and safely as I possibly can is one of my favorite things. I try to use as much recycled packaging as I can. However, I am not perfect, and am totally open to suggestions! I have an awesome record of items arriving perfectly. People always comment how beautiful their package was to open.

I even had an A3 print that went all the way to Italy and back (delivery address issue at the Italian end) and while the packaging was a little tatty, the art print inside was still perfect!!

Shipping Charges Discrepancy

Occasionally I have had an issue on third party sites overcharging the shipping. But I have worked out how to refund part of the shipping, so I just put that back through to the customer – even if it is only $2.80, I got you.

The other items on my website are not items I keep in stock in my office studio in Stoke, Nelson, NZ. They are printed on demand and shipped by my awesome collaboration partners from all over the world. I love print on demand, it means I can offer a huge range of high quality items with no wastage. Nothing is created until you order it, and then it is printed just for you. So the shipping rates are set by them and not something I have any control over.

Blue Peonies Art Print

Since their cultivation, peonies have inspired designers and artists alike. Unfortunately, blue peony blossoms don’t exist in the garden – they range from pink, red, white, or yellow – so I assigned my own hue.

A blue peony is a symbol of calmness, stability, trust and mystery as well. They also represents honesty, bravery, commitment. Blue peony is a color of sea and the sky that is associated with expansion and limitlessness. Blue is sometimes considered as one of the unique colors that is used to portray beauty and it is also used to show peace and relaxation. They are the best gift when meeting a friend after a long time because it shows a lifetime friendship.They are also given to mark the truth in each other of a couple’s relationships.  

Peony flowers are beautiful, showy and belong to genus paeonia & family paeoniaceae. They are perennial flowering plants mostly loved by people. Peonies also have different shades of colors including red, yellow, white, purple, and pink. Peony flowers mostly bloom in April to June months and some flowers in late springtime. Peonies are native to Europe, Asia and north America and they wither in autumn and you should provide special care in winters then again being grown year after year they come back in spring.
