Are your materials Environmentally Friendly, Organic or Green? 

• Totally! I always advertise organic materials, so if it does NOT SAY organic, it probably isn't. Blue Sky Organic Cotton Yarn is my current #1 yarn. My customers have led me the way by asking me to 'go green' with my yarn since I started. Organic yarn, bamboo, banana silk, recycled, and hemp yarn are just a way for me to feel like I can give my products a unique spin. It's not just hippie crap! I like organic food (YUM), organic fibers, and re-using! I use recycled acrylic yarn for machine washable options, and recommend it for baby hats so you'll see them IN STOCK items occasionally.

Do you have Vegetarian or Vegan options?

• YES! I use many options that are Vegan and Vegetarian friendly. Look at the 100% Hemp, Organic Cotton, and the Banana Silk Yarns. I can also make Vegan Jewelry, replacing bone and horn with wood, gem and stone beads. I support made in the USA and green or organic materials. it's what you as my loyal customers ask for! 

CARE OF HATS:

• Store your handmade treasure neatly, I made it with love! I think the best care is no care at all! I would like it if you would hug it and love it because it DID take me up to 10 hours to make your goodie! But you don't have to go crazy. You don't need to WASH IT all the time. Remember: Natural Fibers! Don't let your dog chew it (true story), or throw it on the floor for people to step on it or dust bunnies to live in it. If you take logical measures to care for your hat, you won't need a new one for a long time (though of course I always recommend you get more than one hat made by me *wink* for the seasons!)

I grew out of my hat! Now what do I do? 

• Aw! Good for you for keeping your hat this long! You have 2 options. I highly recommend you wash your hat and pass it on to someone you love. If it's a tam, I MIGHT be able to add rows to it so it's bigger. This costs about $15 plus shipping, and I can't promise anything! If you've really abused the hat, it might not be able to be fixed. Email me and ask my advice. Remember: return customers get a discount, So look at your packing slip when you get your item(s) in the mail!

Do you take international orders?

• YES!

Do you take PayPal? 

• YES! Let me know before you give up if you encounter any shopping cart issues trying to pay with PayPal.

Can I get a Discount?

• You sure can! Here's a few ways how:

1. BUY IN STOCK ITEMS. ALL IN STOCK items are discounted up to 60%.
2. Join My Newsletter. Coupons and discount codes are given out in my newsletter!
3. Look at your packing Slip. If you've already bought from me, there's a gift printed on the slip.

Can I order from your Etsy page? 

• Sure! I love Etsy. If you see something on the IN STOCK page that is not represented on my Etsy page, I'm happy to add it for you (or vice versa). Just email me the link of the picture of the IN STOCK item you're referring to. I'd love to be your favorite, so add me and I'll add you.

What does IN STOCK mean?

• IN STOCK Items are available right now. What you see is what you are buying. The Best option for a gift. IN STOCK items are first come, first serve. IN STOCK items are discounted from the CUSTOM price up to 50%. Items disappear from the website as soon as I get payment. If something sells and you missed it, order one CUSTOM made.

When are you gonna put more hats online?

• Join my newsletter, and you'll be first to know. It's just a little note I send out with pictures and a small update of where I'm at, and what new stuff I'm showing off. It's not spam, and no way do I share or sell the info. You will get a little message from me when you sign up - this is to verify your email using a link you click to prove your really interested. I have to do this extra step or it's considered SPAM.

• With a name like HIPPIE CRAP it has to be good. or SPAM? Look for my communication in your junk mail and take me outta there! If you don't want to be on my list anymore, please don't send me nasty emails, you signed up for this! You have to unsubscribe just like on any 'bigger' website newsletter lists. Change your account details when you leave your job, leave school, move, etc. 

What does CUSTOM mean?

• (Note: I am not taking Custom Orders) CUSTOM made means you get to pick the style, color(s), yarn type used, and any other options I offer. CUSTOM can be Jewelry or Hats and Tams, and there can be up to a 4 week wait to ship your item(s). First come, first serve. There is always a waiting list, so please do not ask me to 'rush it'. Costs (as always!) are simply based on materials used plus labor. It can take up to 10 hours to make your hat.

• I'm willing to talk to you (within reason) as long as you need to get you the perfect options. If you have a picture, I can guesstimate the size and even the style or colors you might like best. However, until a payment is made, you are not on the list, and therefore must wait just like everyone else. I NEVER obligate someone to an order, so feel free to ask me about my hats anytime! 

Put me on the top of your list?

• Items are first come, first serve, and processed in the order which payment is received. However, if you order a CUSTOM item for a GIFT, let me know with a note in your order, I'll see what I can do. No Promises! I'll email you and won't leave you hanging.

About my Friends/Family:

• I have spent years having my friends family, and anyone that is interested in helping me test out my products, and I DEMAND they use/abuse them. I give hats to my friends to 'product test' when I get a new type of yarn or try a new style. They give me feedback about the hats and help me improve them. I feel it's important to get every penny's worth. I want it to be the best hat you ever got.

Can I send you a picture of me enjoying my new favorite hat?

• Well, look how cute you all are, how can I resist? I love to get pictures, and if they're really good I use them in my catalog! Many of my friends and family pose for pictures. I don't get nearly as many pictures as I would like to. I take pictures of as many people as I can! I've got loads of pictures to show you. Yes, I would love a picture of you! Keep in mind I like my pictures to be in focus, usually in profile, and featuring the hat as the main subject of the photo. Those are the kind of pictures that I love to have for the web site!

• If you'd like to be added to my website, just email me a picture of yourself wearing your hat with permission for me to use it on my website! If it shows off the hat well, I'll use it to display 'your' style! 

Who else works with you?

• I have had up to 5 employees work for me making items, or helping with the paperwork and website. Right now I'm looking into working with other artists to develop a line of my own. If you want to work for me, you need to be computer literate (email and basic stuff, I can teach you more), know how to take pictures and put them online, have a good work ethic, and live in the Bucks County area. If you crochet, knit, sew, make jewelry or want to help with simple office stuff, I might be verrrry interested in your talents. Contact me with picture examples of your work and your ideas.
