Hilarious! I'm continually amazed by the number of ways people misspell the same words.

Well, if it were say, maybe a kindergarten graduacction, it might be appropriate.
- May 3, 2011 at 9:40 AM
It looks as though they bothered to scrape off an extra "o".
God loves a traieyer! - May 3, 2011 at 9:42 AM
Oh the irony, indeed. I think this is suposed to be a bilingual cake with the word graduation being in spanish - graduacion (with an accent mark on the o). Except its mispelled! Wrong in so many levels. Sigh!
- May 3, 2011 at 9:43 AM
OOOH so much room to comment. I can wiggle my toes!
Does that cake say "Amy?" I'll have to hide this post. My daughter is convinced that everytime an "Amy" is mentioned anywhere, it's because said "Amy" is evil, spoiled, or stupid.
My Amy is none of those things :)
BTW, that cake is beyond a wreck. - May 3, 2011 at 9:47 AM
There's nothing wrong with a "Good Blessing," is there? They should have left it alone.
And if case you haven't notice, "graduation" is a really difficult word to spell. - May 3, 2011 at 9:52 AM
good lord! (haha!)

I swear to Go d that I try everyday to get my pastry business going, try to scrape together money to take classes to learn new techniques and improve my skills. I also worked hard in public school, High School, College and University.learning to read, write and form cohesive sentences. I have never spelled even the strangest word or name incorrectly on a cake! When will people stop shopping at the Big Box stores, supporting corporate America that in turn supports illiteracy, poor work habits and unskilled labour while at the same time elbowing out the little guys who have the skills and who CARE! Really people! REALLY!! On the flip side, no illiterate cake decorators, no Cake Wrecks...sigh.

Where to start? This is a wreck on so many levels. Spelling, spacing, removing letters. I'm just speechless!

Wow...just...wow. What else can I say?

I think it originally said "Gold Blessing" but with the economy and all, they couldn't afford it and the edit was cheaper.
- May 3, 2011 at 10:43 AM
It looks like they sneezed the sprinkles on the cake around the poor graduate statue. Maybe that's why the "go d bless you"....??
- May 3, 2011 at 10:44 AM
- Brooke said...
I think it's supposed to read like a message from a homie:
"My. Graduaccion. Go, D. Bless yo." The tragedy is running out of room for "Peace out." - May 3, 2011 at 10:50 AM
- Loo-E Loo-I said...
My wv is "biblatel"
The Biblatel ya that "Go d" isn't spelled with a space like that... ;-)
I'm wondering if they were football fans...Go d! Go defense! :-D - May 3, 2011 at 10:59 AM

Looks like a 'wish I had a camera' moment I had - I was behind a carful of high school grads, with the rear window painted with the word "SEINORS"
- May 3, 2011 at 11:09 AM
- Melinda said...
Seriously, do people pay for these wrecks? If I showed up and the cake that I had ordered looked like that, I'd either demand a new one, or insist that the fee be refunded since I had to make do with such an abomination. I'd like to think that I'd laugh and shrug it off--and I might, but not if I had to pay full price (or any price) for a cake that was misspelled, mis-spaced, and just an all around "miss."
- May 3, 2011 at 11:21 AM
- Lady Anne said...
It would have been a lot less obvious if they had simply added an upright to the second O and removed the D. Not that it would have helped the rest of the mess. Oh, never mind - just leave it. Sigh.
- May 3, 2011 at 11:23 AM
- lori said...
@ Anonymous 9:32: I think that since it's wrong in both English and Spanish, it's even wreckiered! (More wreckerated? Más wreckado?)
wv: gesst. I hope there are lots of gessts at my graduaccion party. - May 3, 2011 at 11:29 AM
This is obviously a variation on the Jewish practice of not writing (or eating) God's name. Frequently, some Jews will use another letter in place of the "o", for example, G!d or G-d. I would have to consult with the Rabbis, but I think leaving a space would also work. I can't explain the spelling on graduation. Hope I don't start another Epcot:-)
- May 3, 2011 at 11:38 AM
Oh the irony indeed
- May 3, 2011 at 12:29 PM
- Marylee said...
Maybe someone sneezed while this person was trying to spell graduaccion??
- May 3, 2011 at 12:44 PM
To Anonymous @ 11:38,
I have know many Jews in my time (and have even eaten many delicious Jewish cakes,) and I have never refused to write or eat the word god. In fact, where I live, we are famous for god-cookies, god-tarts and, of course, our famous god-cupcakes. I'm sure that you will agree that I know everything there is to know about god related confections.
I glad to have been of assistance.
WV: costr-Please put a costr under your delicious god shake. - May 3, 2011 at 12:57 PM

Hilarious! Lets hope the person's aiming for a JOurnalism/English degree!!

After clicking (why do I DO that?), it looks like the entire last line is a second attempt; note the scrape lines that go all the way across.
Someone graduated (maybe s/he supplied the cake and it really is supposed to say 'my'), the wreckerator failed and so balance was achieved. Normal reality has been restored, without the sudden appearance of a bowl of petunias and without any whales having to die. - May 3, 2011 at 1:28 PM
I'm constantly amazed at how people let these cakes out of their stores looking like this!! This CANNOT be good for business!
- May 3, 2011 at 1:34 PM
Saw this and just had to take accion to express my appreciaccion for Jen's sharing this abominaccion with us.
You are a benediccion to the naccion, Jen, and I thank Go d for your creaccion. - May 3, 2011 at 1:51 PM
- MMA Los Angeles said...
I'm really hoping this was a home-made cake! I'm in agreement, maybe it was a bilingual cake or they meant to send good blessings and thoughts their way? Probably not, but for the person's sake, let's give them the benefit of the doubt.
Ava - May 3, 2011 at 2:13 PM
Laughing at el cornichon and Ellen's comments.... Today's post reminds me that we are about to see a wave of Graduation Cake wrecks. I am giggling just thinking about it.
WV: sabif. "You only have to misspell God's name on a cake if you're eating it on the sabif day." - May 3, 2011 at 2:36 PM
- Laura Neilson said...
Really? Is this really from a bakery or did someone buy a blank cake and then write on it? I never fail to be amazed at how awful the wording is (spelling, spacing and writing). I have never written on a cake but I am pretty sure I could do better than that!

Good for her. I think she deserves a lot of credit for graduaccating from the "Falker Satherhood School of Spelling and Penmanship." (She graduaccated "sumo coom louder" -- not that she's bragging...) Ulations my.
- May 3, 2011 at 3:24 PM
A very funn y post!
- May 3, 2011 at 6:26 PM
Bakeries should really have a master list of commonly misspelled words. It won't make all wrecks go away (and we wouldn't want that, or we wouldn't have Cake Wrecks to amuse us), but it might help a few unfortunate souls out there.
- May 3, 2011 at 6:38 PM
I am OCD about spelling. I wanted to throw my monitor and take a shower..it just made me feel so dirty!
- May 3, 2011 at 6:48 PM
Just a small thing... Graduaccion is how you spell it in Spanish... just need an accent over the o... perhaps that's what they were going for? Perhaps I'm being too nice.
- May 3, 2011 at 6:50 PM
Hooked on Phonics worked for me...
- May 3, 2011 at 7:08 PM
Maybe the wreckerator started saying Good Luck but got distracted (maybe sneezed)....?
- May 3, 2011 at 7:27 PM
Let me share something with you...I am about to finish my JD, and I'm telling you that 75% of my classmates wouldn't be able to tell you that anything was misspelled on that cake! From the people who bake your cakes, to the people who draft legislation for the United States Congress...nothing is safe!
- May 3, 2011 at 7:29 PM
This is obviously a Rebus...in code. Here, let me translate:
"Acci is in Graduon under small Military Yeomen. This is not Good. You are after B. Less."
See, now it makes perfect sense! - May 3, 2011 at 7:35 PM
Pretty sure it wasn't a second "o", but and "r" that was whited out. This was obviously a Tragically Hip fan. Gord bless everyone! <3
MC - May 3, 2011 at 7:40 PM
Worst of all, they are serving it at the graduacction party, G od bless them!

@Shannon, there is a master list of commonly misspelled words. It is called a 'dictionary'.
- May 3, 2011 at 10:06 PM
Okay, I looked again and actually clicked on the photo, and what I first thought were sprinkles is actually white curling ribbon...so much for my theory that the "Go d bless you" was a "geshundheit"... :-)
- May 3, 2011 at 10:08 PM
I think you mean CDO. It's like OCD but the letters are in alphabetical order- as they should be.
-Barbara Anne - May 3, 2011 at 10:50 PM
That cake looks like it went through the wringer. A new way to not spell graduation I see lol. Sheesh. I say the wreckerator should have to write that word repeatedly for at least one thousand times..until they get it right :).
- May 4, 2011 at 12:25 AM
My husband and I just finished reading your book. It was delightful. I'm sending it to my son who is a pastry chef, and I hope he enjoys it as much as we did.

- May 4, 2011 at 7:14 AM
Oh my, that's surely one of the worst spellings so far?!
- May 4, 2011 at 9:23 AM
WV: redido
Obscure verb tense of to redo of something that was redone but needs to be redone again. Example:
Bakery employee: I already redid that cake.
Bakery manager: Well, you need to redido it again! - May 4, 2011 at 11:04 AM
- gorrión said...
If it's any consolation, "graduation" is spelled correctly... in Spanish. lol!
- May 4, 2011 at 12:11 PM
Here's a good one for you...
My grandparents were having their 60th anniversary so I went in to a local bakery to get them a cake; as I was describing what I wanted the lady asked me to spell anniversary for her as she had no idea how to spell it herself...
Needless to say, I went to another bakery! I am very puzzled as to how this lady got her job. - May 4, 2011 at 9:56 PM

- lisa said...
There's so much going on here- first is the incorrect Spanish spelling of graduation, then there's the Go d that was once good w/ an "o" removed. Not to mention the spacing of the entire phrase. I don't know what's funnier, the Spanglish or Go d!!!
- May 5, 2011 at 8:24 AM
Dear Lord please help these people.
If they can't spell, what makes anyone think they can follow a recipe? There are newt fingers somewhere in this cake. Mark my words. - May 6, 2011 at 12:06 AM
Looks like her cake sneezed. I have trouble spelling graduation, but man...

What's a Wreck?
What's a Wreck?
A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.
Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)

Where's the book?
We don't have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it's cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.

It was Dr. Monnett in the Email, Leaking to Rick Steiner and PEER
Recently, a Shell drilling vessel, the Kulluk, broke free from it's towing lines in a storm and ran aground. Personnel on the platform had to be rescued by the Coast Guard and there is now a major effort to refloat the Kulluk and ensure there is no secondary damage from oil leaks and such. Neven (who else) has a good summary of the situation and can be relied on to update as sensible.
Michael Tobis last month asked Eli to explain why the Department of the Interior was going after Charles Monnett. The Kulluk is the short answer, more specifically BOEM wanting to approve Shell's drilling plans for the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas. Email leaks from Monnett were used to tie Shell, BOEM and BSEE up in court, delaying the issuance of permits four years from 2008 to late 2012 and indeed, this was the only ground that at the conclusion of their farcical investigation that the DOI Inspector General cited to reprimand Monnett.
A good summary with links to original documents of the final court decision allowing the drilling can be found on the Foreign Policy Blog.
On May 25, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management's (BOEM) August 2011 decision to permit Shell to drill in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas off Alaska's north shore. The Native Village of Point Hope and the Inupiat Community of the North Slope had challenged the decision in court, as did non-profit organizations such as Greenpeace, the Center for Biological Diversity, and the Sierra Club. This is the third time that the government has had to defend its approval of Shell's offshore drilling plans in court. The indigenous groups and NGOs sued the Bureau for approving Shell's exploration plan, claiming that BOEM "failed to discharge its obligations under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA) (PDF available here) in approving Shell Offshore Inc.'s plan for exploratory oil drilling in the Beaufort Sea."Drilling in the Chukchi Sea was approved August 30, and on Sept 20, 2012 approval was given to move the Kulluk into the Beaufort Sea to begin preliminary work
WASHINGTON — As part of the Obama Administration's all-of-the-above energy strategy to expand safe and responsible domestic energy production, Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) Director James A. Watson today announced that Shell will be allowed to move forward with certain limited preparatory activities in the Beaufort Sea offshore Alaska. Today's action builds upon BSEE's authorization on August 30 for Shell to conduct similar preparatory activities in the Chukchi Sea, in preparation for potential development activities in the future. . . .
BSEE inspectors are maintaining their full-time presence on the Noble Discoverer drill ship in the Chukchi, and will also be onboard the Kulluk drilling vessel full-time during its operations in the Beaufort Sea, to provide continuous oversight and monitoring of all approved activities.
Shell was anxious to get started given that it has already poured $4.5 billion into the project, money that was not earning a return as long as the issue remained in court, but it's rush has lead to one equipment malfunction after another. The Foreign Policy Blog has a statement from Shell that is indicative of the pressure on them to start seeing a return from their investment
Shell spokesman Curtis Smith stated, "There are other appeals still pending, such as those of our air quality permits, but the favorable ruling on the exploration plan is a substantial boost for us." The EPA granted Shell ten air quality permits in September 2011 to permit the Noble Discoverer drillship, the Kulluk drilling unit, and a support fleet of icebreakers, oil spill response vessels, and supply ships to drill in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas for up to 120 days each year. As Shell is hopeful for its prospects this summer, both the Noble Discoverer and Kulluk are being outfitted and "winterized" in a Seattle shipyard in preparation to sail to Dutch Harbor, Alaska in mid-June.In September, they damaged a containment dome designed as one of the layers to deal with possible well blow outs. That meant that the only work that could be started was to drill top holes, sea floor infrastructure needed before drilling deep for oil and gas and that is why the Kulluk was being moved
Which now allows Eli to show MT the little men behind the curtain. The idiotic act of Eric May, DOI IG special inspector was a futile effort to find something else to hang Monnett with. Dr. Monnett had a strong whistle blower defense, especially because the 9th Circuit had ruled in 2008 that the emails showed BOEM had messed up their assessment of the safety of Shell's drilling plans.
Rick Steiner, the U Alaska Professor that Monnett leaked to, got tossed out of the Sea Grant program for being a general pain in the butt, and his part in this program may have contributed
PEER knew damn well what was going on and hid the cheese. Now some, not Eli of course, might look at this and advise Scott Mandia to take care when dealing with PEER. Those folk play inside baseball
Jeffrey Gleason was collateral damage. Eli thinks that he left BOEM and Alaska as the only way of getting out from between his bosses and Monnett.
The remaining question is how high up in DOI the effort to get rid of Monnett and hide the reason why went, especially because of the intersection with Steiner, the Sea Grant Program and NOAA This is key from an environmental point of view, because it speaks to the Obama administration's attitude toward the Arctic environment.
UPDATE: Unfortunately it looks like the Keystone pipeline is a done deal. Rick Piltz points to that as the reason EPA administrator Lisa Jackson threw in the towel

Post-Op Care for Dental Implants Marietta, GA
At Robert S. Sykes, DDS, we can provide you with information regarding post-op care for dental implants. This is the most durable and natural-looking way to replace your missing teeth, but it requires oral surgery, meaning there is a recovery process that must be taken into consideration. When you visit our Marietta, GA dental office, we can conduct an examination, take x-rays, and let you know what to expect from the implants procedure. This also includes what to expect during your recovery process. For more information, we encourage you to call (770) 873-7241 and schedule an appointment with Dr. Sykes. In the meantime, here is what you should know.
What happens before the implant procedure?
Prior to getting started, Dr. Sykes will conduct an examination to determine if you have cavities or infections in any of your other teeth or if you have gum disease. If so, these things will need to be treated prior to placing implants. It is critical that you start the process in good oral health. This initial exam and x-rays will also determine if you have sufficient bone density to support dental implants. If you do not, you may need a bone grafting procedure prior to getting started.
Is there anything that can slow down the recovery process?
Yes, if you are a diabetic and have been unable to control your blood sugar, it can make it more difficult to recover from the procedure. This makes it important to let us know if you have had a diabetic episode recently, so we can coordinate the timing of your implant surgery for the best possible results.
How should I prepare for the surgery?
In our Marietta, GA dental office, we encourage patients to place some soft ice packs in the freezer. Using them, along with taking ibuprofen, can help to reduce swelling. You should also buy soft foods to eat and plan on taking a couple of days off work. Your gums will be swollen and sore for a few days, so while you will be able to work, you will not be feeling 100 percent and may have difficulty communicating like normal. If you need to work, ask if you can have light duty for a few days or if you can work from home.
What can I eat afterward?
At Robert S. Sykes, DDS, we recommend you eat soft foods that are not too hot or too cold. For example, you should buy yogurt, soft cheese, ice cream, soup to eat at a warm temperature, and fruit to make smoothies. This way, you can receive the nutrition you need without irritating your gums. You can slowly begin to add normal food back into your diet, but should avoid eating anything hard, sharp, or difficult to chew for several days. For example, eat a hamburger without the bacon or an omelet instead of waffles. During your recovery, you need to make these simple adjustments that allow you to eat what you need without exposing your gums to anything harmful.
Check out what others are saying about our Post-Op Care for Dental Implants support services on Yelp: Post-Op Care for Dental Implants Marietta.
Do I need to do anything to treat the site of the surgery or my gums in general?
We will provide you with gauze before you leave our Marietta, GA dental office. It is natural to experience some bleeding. Before you leave, Dr. Sykes will ensure that any bleeding is at a manageable level, and by using gauze for the remainder of the day, it should stop. You also need to take steps to keep your gums clean, so we may provide you with a medicated rinse. Otherwise, you can rinse your mouth with warm saltwater throughout the day. You should also brush your remaining teeth, but be careful not to irritate your gums while doing so.
When will it be safe to go back to work?
You can expect to be sore and have swelling for three to five days. This is why we recommend having the procedure toward the end of the week so you can take a couple of days off work and use the weekend to recover. Generally, if you have the procedure on a Thursday, you should feel normal by Tuesday. If you go back to work sooner, be advised that you may not want to schedule any important meetings or client appointments, but stick with light work and email communication.
Will it be obvious that I had implant surgery?
Yes, for the first couple of days, your face will be swollen. While no one will be able to tell what type of oral surgery you had, it will be clear that you had a procedure. Do not worry, this is perfectly normal. While it can be inconvenient for a few days, the end result is worth it because you will have a natural-looking and durable replacement tooth. At Robert S. Sykes, DDS, we also provide our Marietta patients with a temporary denture to wear. This will restore the appearance of your smile while you are waiting for the crown to be attached. If you live in the Marietta, GA area and want a discreet solution, wearing a temporary denture is a must.
What is the recovery process like when the tooth is attached?
Once the titanium implant and your jawbone have fused together, your jaw will provide a base of sturdy support for your replacement tooth. Essentially, it will be as strong as a natural tooth would be. Since the invasive portion of the procedure takes place when we surgically implant the post, attaching the crown is not an issue. You may feel some slight sensitivity in your gums, but this will be minor and easy to control with ibuprofen. There will be no swelling or extensive recovery associated with this aspect of the process. This means you will only need to go through the recovery stage once.
To learn more about post-op care for dental implants, call (770) 873-7241 and schedule an appointment with our Marietta, GA dental office. Dr. Sykes will be happy to answer any questions you have, so you can be confident in your decision to get started.

who are we?
We know the furniture business well and are more than just an online retailer. We have a dedicated in-house team that belong to the same company that imports our range of furniture on an exclusive basis. We work closely with our overseas factory to ensure the products we need in Australia are made to the quality standards our customers expect, the shipping lines to ensure we receive our stock on time, and our dedicated express carriers that complete the journey to your home.
Our business started 25 years ago when our co-founder left Melbourne to establish a life in South East Asia.
Having worked with the design and production team in the factory to export the range to Euopean markets, we quickly wanted to establish the range in Australia. And so began the process to relocate back to Melbourne in 2013 and start importing and supplying the Halifax range of furniture to Australian households.
Since then, we have shared our passion of home décor, inspired by the Hamptons, with so many of our customers. This passion is being seen through ranges of hand made home accessories, which are being made by Indonesian artisans exclusively for our range of home accesories.
The team at iwannagohome are continuing the journey that we started, constantly evolving fresh ideas and carefully curating ranges of furniture and home décor.
We invite you to be part of our journey too ...
- Design & Inspiration
Our designs are inspired by creating functional and decorative interior furnishings for the contemporary household. Whether for single living or family life, our designs fulfill the needs of both. We strive to produce timeless and long-lasting products that enhance the quality of peace and comfort within your home.
Our creations combine classic lines with a contemporary edge to effortlessly blend into your living space, complimenting your unique style choices with ease and comfort. The simplicity of our designs evoke a natural elegance in all settings and reflect a craftsmanship infused with charm.
Initial designs begin with identifying a need or an augmentation and working out from there. Starting with a simple sketch, an approved design leads to a physical product sample. The sample is tested for functionality, durability and its visual appeal. Approved samples move through to the manufacturing process, where each product is held to a sequence of quality control standards throughout its production.
- Material Procurement
All wood materials used in the production of our furniture are sourced from the island of Java, Indonesia. To comply with our ethical procurement policy, all hardwood materials are SVLK (Sistem Verifikasi Legalitas Kayu) certified. SVLK is an internationally recognized verification system that ensures the timber used in the production and export of wooden products is legally sourced from sustainable plantations; it is overseen by the department of forestry in Indonesia.
The rattan material used in the weaving of our chairs and rattan accessories is carefully selected to ensure the aging of the material is as natural and pure as possible. We use two varieties of this renewable resource: kubu rattan, a thicker variety; and split rattan, a thinner and more malleable variety.
- Carpentry
The manufacturing of our products is considered to be a "semi-machine" process. The majority of our furniture is built with a kiln-dried solid mahogany frame and composite wood (MDF) paneling. The wood is treated with a wood protectant before the kiln dry treatment. Following a standard design template, wooden materials are sawed and planed to the necessary thicknesses and lengths required for each component's design using modern machinery. Components are then moulded and grooved according to their specifications. Jointing follows and upon completion, the components proceed to assembly. MDF components are primed with a coat of paint along their exterior surfaces prior to assembly.
As for our rattan products, the rattan is hand-woven around a solid wood frame. Depending on the intended color of the rattan, it is either treated before or after the weaving process.
- Assembly
Our products are hand assembled by skilled craftsmen. The majority of our furniture is assembled through the mortise and tenon joinery technique, while our beds and drawers are joined through a french dovetail technique.
Small gaps at joints are left intentionally during assembly to allow for natural shrinkage and expansion of the wood materials.
The result is a fully assembled product, with the exception of hutch units, tables & beds, which require minimal assembly upon arrival to your business or home.
- Finishing
Upon assembly, the product is cleaned to remove excess glue or debris then it is sanded with a hand-held machine and lastly by hand with fine sandpaper. During the finishing process, the surfaces of the products are painted and/or stained and distressed based on their intended collection's design. After the finish has been applied, the products air dry over the course of two to three days in a designated clean and well-ventilated area of the facility to allow for optimal drying conditions.
Our materials are carefully selected and combined in our designs to produce a long lasting durable product to be enjoyed for years to come. As such the finish may appear slightly different depending on the natural characteristics of the underlying materials surface and orientation. While all surfaces have some degree of finishing to increase the products' resistance to moisture, only the visible and usable surfaces of the product are finished to the agreed quality control standard.
All of our products are hand finished by skilled craftsmen. This personal touch, combined with the natural characteristics of the materials used, creates a unique product that is truly one of a kind. Slight variations in finish are to be expected, and are not considered product defects.
- Quality Control
Quality inspection and assessment is performed throughout each phase of the production process. At the final step before packaging, the finished product is compared to a previously approved master sample to ensure visual and functional compliance. If an item fails to conform to the quality standards, it is returned to the respective preceding step in the process to be modified then checked again until it passes the quality control.
The assessment procedure includes measuring the dimensions of each product, verifying the moisture content level is within the appropriate range, checking product balance and stability on a level surface, testing functionality of all moving components and respective hardware, checking the finishing of each product in natural daylight, ensuring the proper application of any safety labels (if necessary), ensuring the inclusion of anti-tip kits (if necessary), ensuring the inclusion of required hardware for assembly and the assembly instructions, and finally the product warranty, disclaimer and care instructions.
Additionally, each year the paint products used in our finishes are subject to a 3rd party quality control assessment, completed by PT TUV Rheinland, a private organization in the field of testing, inspecting and certification services and a member of TUV Rheinland Group headquartered in Cologne, Germany.
Our products do not require California Proposition 65 warning labels. For more information, go to www.p65warnings.ca.gov/.
- Packaging
After successfully passing the product conformity quality check, the product is ready for packing. Product surfaces are lined with foam wrap and secured with tape. All corners and edges are protected with contoured styrofoam bricks and taped in place. Doors and drawers are foam wrapped, closed and secured with styrofoam or cardboard to prevent them from opening during transport. Finally, the units are carefully placed and immobilized in their custom-sized triple craft overlapping carton boxes, which identify their orientation for proper handling. Silica gel sachets are included in each box to control moisture levels.
Our team will run final checks on the packed product and packaging to ensure items are protected from potential abrasion and damage that can occur during transport. This check also includes ensuring the box label matches the item and quantity of the boxes contents, and if necessary that any additional shipping instructions are clearly labelled (e.g. box 1 of 2).
- Shipment & Storage
When a product order is received, the warehouse staff prepare the shipment, which can involve palletizing, strapping & stretch wrapping. The order is then transferred to the delivery agent to be shipped to the customer's business or home.
Delivery & return

The delivery fee for each order will be displayed during the checkout process, prior to payment and order confirmation and included in the total price of your order. Changes made to delivery address or delivery time after placing an order may incur additional charges, which we reserve the right to request to add to your original delivery charge.

The request is based on courier availability and payment of this service.
To see the fees for shipping, simply add items to your shopping cart, enter your postcode and a shipping cost estimate will be displayed. Final shipping costs are shown "in cart" during the checkout process, before the final payment step.

Typically, items listed on the website will be dispatched from our warehouse between 24 to 72 hours. From time to time the delivery of specific items will exceed our usual stated delivery window for reasons outside our control or due to the workload on our delivery partners.
We work hard to process all orders as quickly as possible and we will send you an email to let you know when your item has been dispatched by us or if we anticipate delays.
Delivery Methods & Locations
We work with a number of delivery partners and courier companies in order to deliver nationwide. Your order will be delivered to the delivery address provided by you during the checkout process or as updated through our Customer Care team after your order is finalised.
Delivery is to a ground floor; if the delivery is in a multi-story building the delivery company will not travel past the ground floor front door.
For larger high value items, we may be able to offer alternate delivery service, however this is not available for all items and all areas. Our customer care team can confirm if this is available to your order and area, applicable fees and charges will apply for this service.
We cannot deliver to PO boxes or Parcel Lockers because they're usually too small to accept most of the items we sell. Most of our goods are delivered by courier or specialist furniture carrier directly to your door and require a signature upon delivery.
Our delivery partner may leave a card at the address and you will need to pick up the delivery from an Australia Post outlet or contact the courier company to arrange for redelivery.
We reserve the right to refuse delivery to specific locations for items we deem at high risk of loss or damage, and also areas that are inaccessible with standard courier and delivery services. In this case, you may choose to have an item delivered using your own couriers, in which case all insurance for loss or damage to the order caused by the delivery will be your responsibility.
Delivery of Large, Heavy or Fragile items
Items that are large, heavy or fragile and require the specialist skill and care will be delivered by one of our contracted specialist carrier partners.
You will be contacted prior to delivery to confirm a delivery day. If the proposed day is not suitable, please contact our delivery partner to arrange an alternative delivery date.
The delivery team are able to go up two flights of stairs and deliver your item into the room of your choice subject to any indemnity policies to enter your premises that our carrier partner's may require. In the event that you do not agree to the indemnity policy that the carrier may require you to sign, then you agree to accept delivery of your order to the front door of your premises.
Goods can be delivered higher than two flights of stairs if there is access to a lift that can be used for deliveries and the lift has sufficient space/capacity to carry the goods safely without the risk of damaging the lift or the goods.
We kindly request that you clear the way for our team prior to delivery to ensure they have unobstructed access to complete your delivery quickly and safely.
Delivery will usually occur Monday to Friday (8am to 5pm) but could occur outside of these hours. The carrier will do their best to keep you informed along the way as to when your delivery will arrive.
First-time delivery
If you can't be home to receive your delivery, we encourage you to authorise couriers to leave parcels in a safe place out of the weather. Authorising couriers to leave parcels in a safe place, is known as an "Authority to Leave" (ATL). You can provide this instruction during checkout.
This will allow you to receive your goods first-time and avoid the hassle of missed deliveries and re-deliveries.
If you prefer not to allow us to leave your delivery in a safe place, we will require authorisation on delivery. Due to contactless delivery polices that may be in place from time to time, the delivery team will ask for your name and sign on your behalf.
Multiple shipments
If your order includes multiple items, we may ship your items separately, at no additional cost to you, to ensure your products reach you as quickly as possible.
Delivery Failure
It is important that you verify your information is correct before placing your order, especially your delivery address. If the address provided is incorrect and the package is returned, you will be billed for the additional shipping charges in order for your delivery to reach you. You agree to this by placing an order with us, we reserve the right to pass on applicable charges to you if you provide wrong address information. We also require a contact phone number, which may be used by the courier to arrange delivery. If we and our delivery partner have been unable to deliver your order due to your error or fault after 21 days or 2 attempts (whichever is sooner), we reserve the right to cancel your order. In these circumstances we will refund you the price of your order, less the delivery and handling fees incurred by us.
30 Day Return Policy
If you change your mind, you may return the items to us within 30 days of the date you received them. Contact us by email to arrange collection of the items.

If you purchased goods with free delivery, then you will be only charged for the collection costs back to our Melbourne based depot.

Tips and Tricks for Efficiency |
On long drives, use the cruise control to save gas. The gradual acceleration and deceleration improves your fuel efficiency. |
Putting luggage and other items on top of your vehicle creates drag. To reduce these effects, put the luggage/items inside of a roof top container or wrap them in a tarp secured by rope. This not only causes less drag, but also protects your items from weather. |
Warming up your car in the morning is an old myth. As long as you are not putting the car under excessive loads right away, driving your car under normal conditions will naturally bring the car to optimum operating temperature. Idle warm-up periods waste fuel and add to air pollution. |
Keep your tires properly inflated to keep your gas mileage high. Driving with low tire pressure is like riding a bike with a flat. Besides wearing down your tires, it simply wastes energy. Proper inflation levels are determined by the manufacturer, but it's about 32 psi. |

The Western Rite in the Orthodox Church is not without its critics. Objections are made in regards to desire for liturgical uniformity within Orthodoxy and fears that the Western Rite would produce division within the Church. Some question the sincerity of Western Rite converts, just as some question the conversions of those within the Byzantine Rite. Finally, some complain about a lack of organic liturgical continuity, or will not attend a Western Rite Eucharist. However, no Orthodox parish may deny the Eucharist to visiting faithful of the canonical Western Rite, regardless of their feelings about the concept of Western Rite Orthodoxy. There have been no schisms within the episcopacy of the Orthodox Church regarding the issue of Western Rite parishes.
Whether the Western Rite will grow in its acceptance by Orthodox Christians who follow the Byzantine Rite remains to be seen. In the meantime, the Orthodox bishops who oversee Western Rite parishes—and many who oversee no Western Rite parishes—continue to declare their Western flocks to be true Orthodox Christians and regard them as fully in communion with the rest of the Church.
Byzantine only
Some argue that there is only the Byzantine liturgical tradition can be viable within the Church. The argument's major weakness is that it ignores the wide liturgical variety characteristic of the first millennium of the Church's history. Many Orthodox Christians currently boast of the Church's liturgical homogeneity, claiming that, no matter where one might go in the Orthodox world, the liturgy will be familiar, even if it's in another language. However, their first millennium counterparts would have been incapable of making such a claim—even if only the Eastern liturgical tradition were taken into account. It wasn't until the 13th century that the tradition of the Great Church (i.e., Hagia Sophia) became normative for the whole of Orthodoxy.
Another criticism is that the Western Rite is inherently divisive. Following different liturgical traditions than their neighboring Byzantine Rite Orthodox Christians, those using the Western Rite do not share liturgical unity with them and present an unfamiliar face to the majority of Orthodox Christians. Again, this argument is based on the relatively new notion of liturgical homogeneity. Likewise, differences exist between the various uses of the Byzantine Rite.
An Orthodox Unia?
Related to liturgical division, the question of ongoing administrative division has been raised. The situation of Western Orthodox parishes has been compared with the status of the autonomous Uniate churches under the Roman Catholic Church. For centuries, there have been hierarchical churches in full communion with and in subjection to the Vatican, but which the Pope allows to follow Byzantine liturgical customs and rules. The Uniates, despite usages that more closely resemble the majority of Orthodox Christians, share a common dogmatic belief with Latin Rite Catholics. Analogously, the Western Rite Orthodox share the same faith as their Byzantine Rite Orthodox brethren.
However, unlike the Uniates, Western Rite Orthodox congregations are not the result of large-scale ecclesiastical political machinations and schism but rather of small-scale genuine conversion to Orthodoxy by individuals and congregations. Also, Western Rite congregations all adhere to the same bishops as their Byzantine brethren; they do not constitute a separate church of their own, unlike the Byzantine Catholics ("Uniates") within Roman Catholicism. Criticism of the Western Rite based on its similarity with the Uniates has been called guilt by association—overplaying a superficial similarity of form. Because the ideas are analogous, the argument goes, they must therefore both be inauthentic developments. Yet the more firmly established criticisms of Uniatism usually have nothing to do with rite but rather with dogma, ecclesiology, and allegedly subversive missionary work.
Conversion without conversion
Another criticism often leveled against the Western Rite is based on the mainly convert makeup of most of its parishes. The argument states that such Christians want to be Orthodox but "not too Orthodox," so they keep their familiar rites under a new bishop. The unstated assumption behind this argument, however, is similar to the argument against all non-Byzantine liturgical traditions: That Orthodoxy includes only the Byzantine Rite, and so if one wants to be truly Orthodox, one must also be Eastern. Again, history shows otherwise.
Additionally, this argument also fails to take into account the longstanding history of some of these parishes. For many of them, the Western Rite with an Orthodox Christian faith (though certainly sometimes outside canonical bounds) genuinely is the faith of their parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents. The argument fails to address the question of substance—that is, it does not address whether and why the Western Rite is or is not actually Orthodox.
It is an accident of history that the Western Rite is not yet firmly established again within the Orthodox Church. That most of its adherents are converts is not germane to the question of its Orthodoxy. One might level the same accusation at predominantly convert Byzantine Rite parishes, that they need to learn to give up everything familiar in order to become Orthodox, whether it's language, culture, or some other facet of life. Oddly enough, some have argued precisely that, saying, for instance, that English is incapable of expressing the Orthodox faith.
Lack of liturgical continuity
Finally, more historically minded criticisms of the Western Rite usually center around the idea that it is untenable to try to revive a liturgical tradition which was lost centuries ago when the West fell away from the Orthodox Church. This argument essentially states that, because the Western Rite died out in the Church, and because a continuous living tradition is a necessary element of liturgical practice, the Western Rite ought to be abandoned and only developments from the Byzantine Rite ought to be pursued.
Another response to such criticisms is that the the vast majority of the rites being used by Western Rite Orthodox Christians are not new, but mainly predate the Great Schism. The ordinary of the Liturgy of St. Gregory, for example, predates the schism. (Many devotions developed after the schism with which critics take issue are in fact paraliturgical.)
Further, a number of the pre-schism texts (not simply the ordinary but the propers) have been fully restored and translated, such as the Sarum Rite, a local use of the Roman rite from the pre-schismatic period[1]. (The historicity of this claim is disputed by modern Anglican scholars, however.[2]) Translations of the Sarum rite are currently utilized in ROCOR as well as the Old Calendarist Milan Synod, the latter also having some Mozarabic rite communities. As well, the Celtic and Ambrosian rites have been used on occasion by the Moscow Patriarchate.
Further, the now fairly well-known Liturgy of St. James once fell out of use throughout most of the Church and has now been revived in many places to be celebrated on October 23.
Also special form of Roman Rite Divine Liturgy, the Liturgy Of St. Peter the Apostle was used with continuity in Holy Mount Athos, and by some Russian Old Believers.

"Teecycle" Dress Tutorial and GIVEAWAY!!!! CLOSED.
August 11, 2009
First 'Teecycle'- a child's tee-shirt dress tutorial. Do you have the same problem as me? Chocolate milk stains on EVERYTHING! Those bastards do NOT come out. The military should look into the power of the chocolate milk stain. It could change the world I tell you. I TELL YOU!
This idea works well for soiled shirts. If the stain is near the middle or bottom of the shirt you can simply cut it off. The cute shirt pictured to the left was from Gymboree. I liked the embroidered strawberries and didn't want to throw it away just because it happened to have a chocolate milk stain.
Since this was such an easy, simple piece. The only thing you have to do to be entered in this giveaway is to leave a comment in this post.
Step 1. Find an old tee shirt. Preferably one that has a defect under the line at which you are going to add the skirt.
Step 2. Cut the tee shirt. I chose to do a dress with an empire waist. BUT, you could also do a traditional waist. If that's what you prefer just make the cut a little lower, at the waistline. Another idea, don't cut the shirt at all. Just add a skirt at the bottom of the shirt for a flapper look. I've seen a couple Carter dresses like this and works well with polo shirts.
Step 3. Choose a fabric for your skirt. I choose a piece of fabric I found in my scrap drawer. You want a piece that's about twice the circumference of the waist you just cut. The length will depend on whether you decided to make an empire, traditional or flapper skirt. Measure from the bottom of the cut shirt to your child's knees then add an inch for allowances. Take those two measurements and cut your fabric. Then fold and sew a 3/4t hem at the bottom.
Step 4. Gather the top. In case you don't know how to gather, I'll give you a quick mini tutorial. Set your machine to the longest setting and loosest stitch. Then sew from one end to the other. DO NOT BACKSTITCH! Knot one end. Take the other end and separate the two pieces of thread. Hold the top thread and push the fabric across, creating a gather. Be careful not to snap the thread. Gather the fabric to the correct length. You can figure out the length by lining it up to the circumference of your tee-shirt's waist, adding about 3/4" for allowance.
Step 5. Once you have the fabric gathered to the correct length sew the two sides of your skirt fabric together (right sides facing) so that you have a "tube".
Step 6. With right sides together sew the gathered tube to the cut tee shirt. To do this, turn the tee shirt upside down and place it inside the skirt. BE SURE THAT THE RIGHT SIDES ARE TOGETHER!
Step 7. Turn right side out and you're DONE! Since I used a scrap piece of fabric I couldn't make the length long enough and altered the first photo to appear longer. So I would say that this little dress would fit a 12-18 month old.
Since this was such an easy, simple piece. The only thing you have to do to be entered in this giveaway is to leave a comment in this post.

What a cute project! Unfortunately, my daughter makes all of her stains on the collar of her shirts! But, this would be a great project with some toddler shirts from goodwill!

I can't bear to throw out any piece of fabric or item of clothing that I feel like I can do something more with, so this is great! Thanks so much!

I love this so much because my daughter has a very long torso and is tall for her age, so most of her shirts either end up being belly shirts with the slightest lift of her arms, or are to fat because we had to buy a size up. Now instead of giving a bunch of Ts to goodwill I think I will play with them like this and see how they turn up. I'll share the link when I'm done and get it on my blog - hopefully I'll have time to do it before Summer ends.
