still here
it’s been a time.
my presses just got up and running last week and now i am full steam ahead with your pre-orders.
one thing that isn't full steam ahead is the transport of the Always Looking books but those are scheduled for early December so please keep the hope alive. either way, it looks as though we will be shipping those out in mid Dec just at the right time for holiday fun.
less is more has really taken over my studio life
while the clean slate was an abrupt fresh start, it was also a complicated one. i always wanted to scale down just to basics (after collecting seven years worth of paper ephemera) and was constantly organizing, purging, recycling.
this time, with everything washed away, i've been left to figure out what and how to rebuild. and being honest, it’s been a financial and emotional strain. but i fully believe, worth it.
everyday we take small actions to lead to a bigger life and in that same way, the base of creating tiny bones was to provide a way to be a bit more thoughtful everyday.
i feel extremely grateful to have the support this community and to have a space to create and make things for you in. studio tour here
all this to say : i’m still here, still going and excited for new possibilities of what the next year can bring.

sending a custom gift box of letterpressed stationery is one of my ultimate favorite gifts to give almost anyone. blank notecards can be used for any occasion and always come in handy.
what a better idea than to give someone the opportunity to connect with a friend or say thank you for something that meant something to them?

please specify in the notes which letter, uppercase or lowercase and black or blind letterpress.
if you would like for me to ship this directly to the gift recipient, please mention so in the notes and I will be in touch to arrange! we can handwrite a note from you to place in the box and will leave out any receipts.
