Desperation led me to Crazy Crow. What I needed: 9 yards of 12-inch yellow fringe. For less than the price of my firstborn. What Crazy Crow has: Fringe! Feathers! Beads! Claws! Tomahawks! Tobacco! Pow! Wow! And So! Much! More! And at reasonable prices, considering much of the stuff they offer is hardly even available in other places, and certainly not at my local giant craft warehouse. And while desperation may have led me in, elation paved my way out, filling my shopping cart with 14-inch fringe(14!!), and my buzzing brain with crafty ideas. It’s a delicate balance to be both homespun and professional without falling into Etsy quaintness, but Crazy Crow carries it off. Their site and purchase interactions have this kind of small/family business charm, yet the parts you need to work properly — namely, product search, shopping cart, check-out and package tracking systems — are pretty smoothly functioning, offering that extra sense of security you really want when you’re wondering if an online mail-order company is legit. Worth noting: it’s OK if maybe you’re only rumored to have Native American heritage, and maybe are using your fringe for a Cher costume instead of for a powwow — I sort of thought an alarm and red flashing light might go off when I pushed the order button, but it turns out they don’t judge. You can be as crazy as you wanna be.
