Nichola Battilana: Maker of Messes Believer in by PixieHillStudio

Once upon a time there was a family in desperate need of a house. One day they came upon an old crooked old farmhouse, sitting empty, halfway up a hill. Although it wasn't a terribly fancy house, it was old and drafty, the mother thought it was lovely and promptly fell in love with it.

Looking past the wobbles and imperfections, she thought the old crooked house was actually very pretty and rather grand. She knew there was more to that place than stone and mortar. She could see that there was magic hiding in every nook. Clearly, the earth and trees brimmed with faerie life, the grass was greener and more lush, even the stars twinkled just a little bit brighter from that particular spot.

It is rather lucky that the matron of that family, the one who fell in love with that old place, is quite silly and still believes in faeries and magic or else no one would be the wiser. Instead, that lady gathers up those wonders, those little bits of magic, and pours them out for others to see and enjoy.

And today, in that old crooked house, that lady sits, making messes, spreading wonder and enchantment to anyone clever enough to believe in the magic that wobbly old houses hold.

IMPORTANT: I claim the ACTUAL COST on ALL packages. This protects both of us in the unlikely event of damaged/lost or stolen packages.

I pinky swear that if I had any sort of control over the postal system I'd charge you a penny for shipping and have your package delivered today. Unfortunately, when I asked Canada Post about this possibility they all shook their heads and rolled their eyes at me. So, that's a no go.

I mail out once a week, shipping using the most economical Canada Post mail service available. Canadian shipping is expensive and I often end up covering some of the shipping costs. Unfortunately Canada Post only provides postal guidelines and not guarantees for delivery standards on regular mail post.

Any customs fees are the responsibility of the buyer. I have absolutely no control over added duty/taxes.

I DO sent internationally but actual costs vary upon destination. Send me a convo with your location and I'll send you the actual shipping price.

The vast majority of packages to the US and Canada arrive within 10-14 days BUT may take longer, especially during holiday seasons. If your package is stopped by customs it may be delayed. If you require your item in a more timely manner please contact me first to discuss the options available.

If you live nearby and would like to pick up your item, just drop me a note to arrange a pick up date/time and I will remove the shipping fees from the listing you are interested in.

Please note: I reuse packaging whenever possible. If you have allergy concerns please make a note during checkout.
