No, I sell finished books
Absolutely — and I love them! Many of my bestsellers started as custom requests (hello Dollhouse and Bible books).
Here’s how it works:
- Contact me with a detailed description of what you’d like.
- I’ll reply with a quote and turnaround estimate.
- Once you’re happy, you’ll pay in advance.
- I’ll send you photos when it’s ready. Nothing ships without your approval!
Got a wild idea? Hit me with it. I’ve made everything from mini food to felt lungs.
Yes! If you want your item made faster than the speed of yarn, you can rush the production time.
Rush Fee:
Costs 50% of the item’s price
Example: For a $10 item, the rush fee is $5 → total = $15.
⚠️ Rush production ≠ faster shipping.
You can select express shipping during checkout if you need speed on both ends.
It’s probably on its way, doing its little mail dance across the globe.
Delivery estimates are in my Shop Policies
Check the tracking link in your shipping email or on your Etsy purchases page
Sometimes delays happen (holidays, weather, customs, or the mail carrier fell asleep?).
If your item hasn’t arrived within 1 week of the expected date, contact me. I’ll start a post office investigation and help you from there.
Lost package?
💸 I will refund you fully — item and shipping.
Returned package (due to wrong address, uncollected parcel, etc.)?
⛔ Shipping cost is not refundable if it was not my fault.

Unfortunately, I can’t predict this — the rules vary by country, order value (and how much your customs officer likes handmade)
- Small orders are usually tax-free
- In the U.S., most customers don’t report customs fees
- In Europe, it’s more common to be charged import VAT
Your best bet: contact your local customs office for details.
Shipping is calculated by weight category — so ordering multiple items often costs just a little more than shipping one.
Example:
1 item = higher cost per item
3 items = lower cost per item (and more fun for you!)
