"Etsy does not hold sellers responsible for postal delays, failures, thefts, losses or customs problems. The buyer and seller are urged to file a postal claim in the event of a postal failure." I provide tracking on every purchase so you should be able to check on it as it makes its way to you. Keep in mind, packages may take slightly longer if purchases are made over the weekend or before a holiday.

As far as speed of delivery goes, I have zero control over what happens after I hand your purchase over to the postal service to have them deliver it to your door. I make every effort to mail each package within 2 business days of purchase. I also provide insurance on all purchases over $50.

If an item arrives damaged or does not arrive at all, please let me know.

Because of the nature of the items, returns are not accepted for pattern purchases.

At this time, I accept PayPal as well as Direct Checkout and Etsy Gift Cards. You do not need to have a PayPal account to pay with this method. If you have any questions, please check out this handy tutorial provided by Etsy on making a purchase. www.etsy.com/help/article/339

Sales tax of 6% will be added to the final cost of the purchase for Idaho residents only. It will not be added to purchases made by buyers who reside outside of Idaho.

Once payment is received and has cleared, your item will ship within two business days. I will make every effort to get it mailed within a day of receiving payment but because I also work full-time, sometimes this may not be possible and I will need an extra day or so.

I ship First Class or Media Mail via USPS with tracking for shipment to US addresses. The cutoff for First Class is 13 ounces total weight. Anything over 13 ounces will be going out Media Mail which will add a few days to the shipping time. According to the USPS, the shipping time for First Class is 2-5 days for delivery and Media Mail is 2-8 days. The only thing I can guarantee is that I will ship items on time. I cannot guarantee a delivery date.

Purchases being shipped outside the US will go First Class International. The customs form will be on the outside of the package with the full purchase value and will not be labeled as anything other than what it is. I prefer my comfy house over jail.

Seller is NOT responsible for customs fees and import taxes imposed on Buyer by their country of residence. Falsifying customs declaration forms in order to help a Buyer avoid these taxes and fees is against the law, and comes with a punishment of up to $10,000 USD with the possibility of up to 5 years of imprisonment. Please do not ask Seller to violate the law. For further information about these laws go to

Seller is not responsible for calculating import fees. Buyer may use the tool found at the web site below to estimate import fees; however, be aware the fees may be higher since this calculator does not include fees charged by postal service or carriers for handling the duty or tax.

All items are shipped in either a rigid photo mailer or a poly bubble mailer. I never received my letter from Hogwarts. As a result, I am a lowly Muggle and cannot consult a crystal ball or wave a wand to predict how fast it will get there. If you are a wizard or a witch and would like your item delivered by owl, by all means, send one over to pick up your purchase. The owl will know where to find me. If your owl is otherwise occupied and you need expedited shipping, let me know and I will adjust the cost for a speedier delivery.

To quote Etsy's Policy: "Etsy does not hold sellers responsible for incorrect shipping address submissions. The buyer must provide correct addresses in both their Etsy and PayPal accounts at the time of checkout."

Please please please make sure your address is correct!
