health is wealth
ed ruscha
back again, treading water through a summer of sickness
everyone, thank goodness, is alright. it’s just been labor intensive and a bit more strain on an already strained situation. i’ve been told that this is just parenting toddlers, added with all having been in a bubble for the last few years. i know many of you are in that same situation or can empathize.
health is wealth
i keep coming back to that phrase (and life keeps incessantly reminding me of it). it’s definitely made me think about how i can put that more into practice through prioritizing what - within this small business of mine - really does feel joyful and creative and is helpful to others.
this past year has been an entire grind for our studio. and i feel, collectively as a world and society as well.
august will be the month to implement some shifts.
we will be doing less wholesale and more custom work. i will be working with some brands in a creative capacity and will share some of those adventures as well. i will be exploring more of the always looking collection and how that can flourish. of course, i’ll still have my stationery collection available since i love making and printing those for you. and hopefully through it all, can expand some community involvement.
thank you to anyone who is still reading! my long winded personal novel ha. but i really do appreciate you!! thank you for all of your support along the way.
please reach out if you want to collaborate on any projects you have and I look forward to sharing more with you, more consistently.
a commitment : first friday of every month will be more general studio update and third will highlight a project and a bit of current inspiration
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
as always, megan

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?
for this gift box, you can choose any one letter selected from the three different fonts and customize it to be on your favorite of our paper stocks in either black or blind letterpress. the letter will be printed in the lower right hand corner of the paper and gift box comes with 30 cards + matching envelopes. **please note the birch plywood boxes are unavailable at this time
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.
