5 out of 5 starsMixed review. Love the items I received. The communication around this purchase was not great. I ordered it in May and didn’t receive it until 8/4. I did receive a partial refund though since there was an issue completing one of the items I ordered. However, the quality of the apron and potholders is beautiful. I think she would benefit from getting a little more organized. I get the impression she’s quite busy since her items are great quality and a lot of fun prints. If you’re not in a huge rush for a custom item, I’d say it’s worth the wait.

Taking over the world, one oven mitt at a time
For years I have been making my own novelty print dresses, and I get a lot of requests for custom dresses. Every body is different, so I decided to try making something I didn’t have to fit to people: an oven mitt! I posted the photo on social media and received an overwhelmingly positive response, so I opened my Etsy shop in the beginning of 2016. Since then, my business has grown exponentially, allowed me to quit my day job, and travel all over the world selling my mitts!

Shipping
Please double check your shipping address before finalizing your order. I am not responsible for incorrect addresses, or delays due to shipping to an incorrect address.
All orders will receive tracking numbers.
I will do my best to ship out all orders as soon as possible but this holiday season I am also traveling to multiple comic cons so please refer to the shipping timeline on the item you ordered to get an idea of how quickly it will ship. Reach out to me if you have any questions!
For international orders:
Unfortunately I cannot guarantee delivery by any specific holiday. Sometimes international shipments arrive in less than a week, sometimes it takes three months, so this holiday season I cannot guarantee delivery for Chanukah, Christmas, or any other holiday. I will do my best to ship your order out as soon as I can but I cannot control the speed of global post.
