Dart Manipulation Explained // The What, Why, and How of DARTS

Описание: I get a lot of questions about darts, so today I've got a deep dive into the topic trying to answer as many quandaries as I can! Why darts? Can I move them? Where do I put them? Can I take one away? Can I add a dart? Does moving the darts effect the fit? Do I have to have darts? Hopefully all will be revealed in this (rather long) video all about dart manipulation!

But wait there's more! A PO BOX finally wahoo!

First, a disclaimer: So many of you have kindly offered to send me things, including vintage items you may have inherited, and I am so honored you would think of me and of course I do adore vintage treasures, however, unfortunately I only have so much storage space currently! So there is a chance that if something just wont work for me, or doesn't fit me etc, that I may not be able to keep all of your lovely things. Please only send things if you are okay with the possibility that I may donate items I just cannot keep. If you would prefer I put things that I can't keep into the TCH Etsy shop to help raise funds for me and the channel, please specify this in a note or letter in your parcel. Thank you so much!
