Down for surgery.

Hello everyone, I wanted to pause and take a moment to thank you all for your continued support over the last year during an on-going battle with time constraints, familial responsibilities, and my own health. Especially in a time where I know everyone's wallets are strained for just basic commodities and more so the cost to upkeep hobby crafts. I truly appreciate all of you who help keep this business going and keep coming back. You are more than consumers, many of you I'm honored to have the privilege to call friends.

So I felt it was important that I provide you with an update that will impact sales and those who are closest to me. In the last few months and after multiple doctor visits I was contacted by my doctor to inform me that one of my scans indicated a concerning mass growing in my kidney. After her advisement and emphasis, I will be adhering to the doctor's recommendation to undergo surgery in an attempt to remove and biopsy the mass on August 1st. This means that I will be unable to lift anything above 5 lbs. for 4-5 weeks following surgery. Since I will be unable to fulfill orders at that time, it is important that any orders that will be needed for the month of August and start of September, please be placed prior to the date of July 20th to ensure that they are fulfilled. As always, the best ways to contact me for orders are through direct emails at moldsbyrick@gmail.com or through the web order option on my website ceramicmoldsbyrickdevries.com which forwards the emails to me. Thank you again for your patience and your business and I look forward to working with you again more as we start into the last half of 2025. - Rick
