5 out of 5 starsOrdered these for my dad and brother. I had been trawling the Internet for double sided handkerchiefs and this was exactly what I was looking for. The crafty prawn was very helpful in sourcing different fabric for me and shipping in the time specified. I was really happy with the end result. Thank you!

5 out of 5 starsAbsolutely lovely. Bought for our second wedding anniversary for my husband and he was overjoyed with them. Siobhan was absolutely amazing too. I wanted them in a hurry and she saved the day. Everything was lovely even the way she packaged them. I didn't need to gift wrap all was done at no extra cost. Love love love this shop.

5 out of 5 starsThis is a really beautifully, handcrafted item. I bought for my husband for our 2 year 'cotton' anniversary. The choice of fabrics was great and the monogrammed stiching is lovely. Delivery was also super quick. Thank you Crafty Prawn!

Shipping
I use standard un-tracked post to send all my smaller items such as hankies, bunting, art prints and cushions. This is to keep your delivery costs as low as possible and so far (touch wood) everything has arrived as expected and nothing’s got lost.
Larger and more valuable items such as quilts and blankets will be sent via Registered Mail, requiring a signature on delivery and giving you the option to track your package. If you would like your hanky sent special delivery or your bunting sent signed for - just let me know - I am happy to add special shipping options to your order!
***I now have a special listing where you can easily add 'tracked & signed' postage to your hanky order - just ask!***
Bit of a disclaimer...if you choose to stick with standard postage and heaven forbid your order gets lost somewhere along the way - I'm afraid 'The Crafty Prawn' can't accept any responsibility for this.
Please note that you as the buyer are responsible for any and all international duties and customs charges incurred. If you have any questions regarding customs/duty charges, feel free to discuss with me before ordering - they're a lot more straight forward than they sound, so don't let it put you off!
Additional policies and FAQs
READY TO SHIP ITEMS
~ You will receive the item exactly as pictured in the listing, but please remember that colors may look slightly different on different computer screens.
~ If you see a ready to ship item you like but fancy it in a slightly different colourway or size for example, then just ask!
MADE TO ORDER ITEMS * PLEASE NOTE - IMPORTANT BITS…*
~ As ‘The Crafty Prawn’ uses use a lot of up-cycled, vintage and special one off fabrics, I can't guarantee that I will have the exact same fabric you've seen in the listing - so please ask before buying if you have your heart set on that particular floral something!
~ I will try my best to use the same or similar fabric and colours as shown, but sometimes they may vary slightly. But rest assured, the piece will always be carefully made to be a beautifully crafted cohesive item.

CUSTOM MADE TO ORDER QUILTS:
All items can be custom made or personalised and I enjoy working with you to create something really special. I am happy to discuss specific colors, sizes, etc. Please do not hesitate to send me a message or convo me (click on 'contact') with any questions you may have. If you are considering a personalised quilt or name bunting but would like to talk about the process or discuss your requirements, just drop me a line and we can discuss details and pricing. The quilts and bunting shown are existing items made for my family and previous etsy customers so are shown as an example of how your made-to-order item could look.

TURN AROUND TIMES:
Please make sure you refer to the ‘ready to ship date’ of the individual item, as this will vary depending on the complexity of the item. I will always endeavor to get your item ready as fast as I can, so if you have a particular deadline - birthday, anniversary or celebration - just get in touch, I can usually accommodate a super fast turnaround time!
A NOTE ON HAND-EMBROIDERY:
All the embroidery you see on products in The Crafty Prawn shop are all stitched by my own two hands. Hand embroidery offers a totally different quality to machine stitched embroidery and carries so much more character, detail and one-off-ness that you just don't get from a digitally embroidered piece. But, this does take a lot of time and effort! With this is mind, please consider my pricing structure for extra hand-embroidery. If you want a lot of text embroidered, you may be eligible for a discount.
