* New Online Store Launched for the Holidays
* Announcing Crazy Crow's End-of-Year Holiday Schedule

Online Store is Open!
Crazy Crow's Online Store Now Open

We are pleased to announce that our 'long-awaited' online store is now open. There's a lot still to do, but about 1500 of our most popular items (like all our blankets, especially the ones on sale) can now be purchased online. We tried to focus on gift-type items with the pre-Christmas launch, but we will be adding items almost daily (and there are lots of craft items available online now as well).

Store Features:

  • New, easier to follow product categories and organization.

  • Search for items by description or item number.

  • More product information. We're not limited to what fits in our print catalog.

  • New features being added: more craft tips, online kit instructions, etc.

  • Secure credit card order processing. NOTE: We do NOT charge your card until your order is ready to ship. You are NEVER charged in advance for items not received.

  • Credit card orders over $100, free surface shipping ($6 charge for orders under $100). Compare our shipping charges - they make our low product prices even lower!
