Mels Brushes maintenance

Posted by admin on September 29, 2009  |  No Comments

Mels Brushes is having a maintenance tidy up – I’m messing about with the innards. This is because i am in the process of creating a new and improved shop. You will be able to browse better, register an account to track your orders and more! At present, the shop isn’t active – I’m still in testing mode, so clicking on the shop link may bring you varied results. You may also find clicking links within product posts are broken – these will all be sorted soon..

Thanks for your patience while I’m making these improvements!
