Who We Are


    
       Thanks for stopping by our blog to take a peek! Widdershins & Bone is a small craft boutique on Etsy that primarily sells elf hats during the holiday season. I started the shop on a whim after I scoured the internet for a tutorial, pattern or finished product for a Buddy the Elf hat that came somewhere close to the fabulously festive chapeau that Will Ferrell's character wears, and coming up with nothing.
        Being a crafty gal, I came up with a pattern of my own. I still have the original pattern which was hand drawn on a piece of green wrapping paper. I had no idea that I'd stumbled upon a fun little seasonal business opportunity, at the time. If I wanted a classic and professional looking elf hat, a few other people out there might want one too, right? Um. Right. Soon I was fashioning elf hats in many festive colors with all manner of embellishments, and posting them on Etsy to see what might happen.
         What happened was more exciting and rewarding than I ever imagined. I just want to thank everyone who has purchased an elf hat over the past five years or so. Your purchases have helped my family have bright holidays with less worry and more cheer. For that, I love you!
