Toronto "Can't Stop the Serenity" Charity Screening in Full Force!

hey all!

I just thought I'd pop by again and let everyone know that it looks as if the Toronto "Can't Stop the Serenity" Charity Screening is GO for 2008! The date and details haven't quite been set in stone as of yet, but it should be sometime around the 23rd of June 2008 (Joss's birthday, and the anniversary of the Serenity pre-screenings). I'll keep ya'll posted once the date gets closer. And of course you can always check the link above for more details as well.

Ma Cobb's Hat Shoppe will be donating a few hats to the cause again this year, and it looks like it's going to be quite a shiny shindig indeed, with many great door prizes, an auction, goodies, and more! So if you're in the Toronto area, please come and join in the fun! All funds raised will be donated to a worthwhile charity: Equality Now!

And don't forget to tune into Space: The Imagination Station this afternoon at 5:30 to catch a glimpse of Ma Cobb's Hat Shoppe. or if you miss that, it airs again tomorrow at 8:30am and 4:30pm.

Keep flyin!
Love,
Ma Cobb

Ma Cobb's Hat Shoppe on Space: The Imagination Station!

Well folks, the Holiday rush is finally over, but there is always more knitting to do! And my little knitting fingers are still working away, so keep those orders coming!

And in other shiny news: apparently Natasha Eloi of Space: The Imagination Station (a cable sci-fi station here in Canada) is doing a story on "geek craft" and wants to include me and my Jayne hats! Some of you may remember my brief stint in Canadian-Browncoat-infamy a couple years back when Space ran an interview I did about the hats and the Serenity fan-table the Canadian Browncoats had at SFX. Well, that footage has been dredged up from the Space archives to make a few return broadcasts! So if you live in Canada and you want to see me geek out (again) on-air tune into Space this Saturday January 19th at 5:30 pm and this Sunday January 20th at 8:30 am and 4:30 pm! "It's gonna be shiny!" ;)

And for those of you who would like to re-visit the old infamous Ma Cobb spot on Space, well then here it is for you, in all its glory:



Yes, that is me, the geek in the Jayne hat. And yes, they got my name wrong, but what can you do. And with that, I shall leave you!
Keep flyin!

Christmas Shipping dates

Hey all,

Here's the promised update on suggested shipping dates for the holiday season. These are the dates that hats must be shipped by in order to reach you before Christmas. This means you should probably put in an order with me BEFORE these dates. The following dates are all Airmail dates (Surface shipping dates have already passed):

Within Canada: Dec 11th
Airmail to the US: Dec 10th

INTERNATIONAL:
Europe/Australia/New Zealand/Asia/Middle East Air: Dec 3
Africa/Central and South America Air: Nov 26
Please remember that these are only suggested ship-by dates and are not at all guaranteed. My suggestion is order early :) and of course if you've missed these dates and you are willing to pay a bit more for faster shipping, just let me know where you are, and I'll quote you a faster shipping price.

Keep flyin,
Ma Cobb

International Shipping Options

Well, better late than never! I've finally updated my paypal buttons on Ma Cobb's Hat Shoppe to take into account the recent higher shipping costs. I've also added paypal payment options for International buyers! Yay! So that's all the updating that I can take for today. I'll be back soon enough though, with Christmas shipping date cutoffs for Canada, the US and International.

Still Flyin' Here at Ma Cobb's Hat Shoppe

Wow! I am really bad at keeping this thing updated! But rest assured, I am still knitting Jayne hats like the mad-woman that I am, so keep the orders coming my Browncoated friends!

I guess I just wanted to send out an update to let everyone know that I am going to be increasing my prices at the beginning of November in order to keep up with the soaring Canadian dollar, and increased shipping prices. It will only be an increase of a couple dollars, and I think it's a reasonable increase, in order to keep my little project going (and to keep my ship flyin'). So, if you order your Jayne hats before Halloween you'll technically be getting a discount, as well as beating the Christmas rush! So order away, kiddies! :) Once November rolls around I'll also be updating the site with Christmas shipping-by dates, so stay tuned!

Thanks for stopping by!

Toronto "Can't Stop the Serenity" Charity Screening

Well, the Christmas rush is well over, but I'm still knitting up Jayne hats like a mad-woman, so please feel free to keep on sending those requests!

I also have an exciting new announcement regarding the Toronto Charity Screening of Serenity on Saturday June 23rd at 1pm at the Regent Theatre: two of my Jayne hats will be featured as door prizes to be raffled off! I am so excited to be a part of such a worthwhile event for the second year in a row! Besides some very awesome prizes, t-shirts, posters and other goodies, all proceeds from the screening will go towards Joss Whedon's favourite charity Equality Now!

Admission to the event is $12! To find out more info, or to get tickets in advance, visit www.canadianbrowncoats.com. Or you can visit www.cantstoptheserenity.com to find a charity screening in your area! It's all for a good cause!

Also, I will be at the event with a couple extra Jayne hats in tow, so if you want to pick one up directly from me there, you can send me an email (fadingendlessly[at]gmail.com) to let me know you want one, and we can work out the details.

Christmas shipping

Happy Holidays to all you Browncoats!!!

Just thought I'd post a little update to say that at this point, any new orders that come in CANNOT be guaranteed to be delivered before December 22nd (the last mail delivery before Christmas). If you would like express shipping (Purolator International to the US, or Xpresspost/Priority Courier within Canada), please email me (fadingendlessly[at]gmail.com) and I can quote you a new price, and send you a new PayPal link, if you're interested. Please Note, however, that you should let me know BEFORE December 18th, so I have time to actually KNIT you a hat! ;)

Thanks again guys!!
