Sharrrrrk hats! There be Sharrrrrk hats!

Shark Hat by Tally Heilke

Note: orders are currently closed, we sold most of the hats! Hooray! If you are interested in getting one, let me know and I’ll decide whether we make them available again sometime.

Need to get outfitted for Shark Week or Halloween? We have just the thing for you! Handmade by Tally Heilke with love, these shark fin hats come in six sizes and stand up tall on your head to show how much you love (and want to protect and conserve) the most awesome animal on the planet. Each hat is dark blue on the outside, and fully lined with a different colorful fabric — they are reversible if you prefer the inside fabric. There’s a bit of elastic at the back to ensure a good fit. From infants to XL, any head size will be comfortable.

**We recommend you choose a size larger rather than your exact hatband size — they look and feel better just a little big!**

Hats ship USPS first class in a padded envelope starting about August 4th, 3-5 business days after ordering. We have sold out of some sizes, and we’re custom making more — custom shark hats will take about 7-10 business days! And you’ll hear from us if you got one of those. Email sharkhat@mariancall.com with any questions.

Add Shark Hats to your Paypal cart, then add shipping, then check out! No Paypal account required.

(Orders currently closed, sorry! Email Marian if you still want one.)

Valentine’s Day Serenades:
Voicemails by Marian

IMG_6959

Limited Quantity: 25 available sorry, sold out!

If you would like to surprise your sweetheart, your Mom, your BFF with a love song, now’s your chance! Should you purchase a Serenade, I will call the person of your choice on Valentine’s Day and sing them the song of your choice (from my repertoire of originals). Lyrics can be altered to fit special people and special occasions. I’m also happy to deliver any important messages from you in my best soothing radio voice.

Voicemail Serenades cost $50.00. I’ll record my end of the phone call and send it to you as an MP3 as well, so you have a higher-quality recording that you can save. I will email you 24-48 hours after your purchase to work out the necessary details.  International orders in any time zone are entirely welcome!

(I wanted to come sing serenades at all of your windows with a Mariachi band, but logistics for doing twenty-five such serenades proved to be problematic and Santa was unavailable for travel booking.)
