🎄✨ Holiday PSA from Your Friendly Embroidery Fairy Godmother at Happily Ever Crafted - In Stitches ✨🎄
‘Tis the season for cozy sweatshirts, matching pajamas, and last-minute “Can you get this done before Christmas?” requests. 🫣 We love the hustle and bustle — but we need your help to keep things merry and magical.
We’re one of the few shops in Iowa that still allows you to bring in your own items for embroidery and printing (seriously, it’s rare!), and we’d love to keep that option available. So before you drop off your items, please make sure they are:
✔️ Brand new or unworn
✔️ Free of pet hair (we adore your golden retriever, but he doesn’t need to be part of Grandma’s sweatshirt)
✔️ Free of any odor — barnyard, smoke, or “holiday cookie baking gone wrong” all count as a no-go
🧢 Hats: new only, please! Trying them on is fine, but if it’s been your lucky fishing hat since 2007… maybe not.
We know it sounds picky, but here’s why: we often work on gifts for newborns, elderly family members, and folks with sensitive health needs. Clean items help us keep our promise of treating every order with care and respect.
✨ We do make exceptions for heirloom or sentimental pieces — just bring them in clean, and chat with us first.
So before dropping off your items, give them a sniff, a shake, and a quick lint roller love. Let’s keep our little shop on Main Street as joyful and tidy as the North Pole. ❤️
