Merry Craftmas

A big happy holidays to everyone celebrating Christmas today, and belated/early tidings of merriment to those who celebrate otherwise.

You may have noticed that I in fact did not update the blog with new product, as I optimistically intended. To you fine, observant individuals, I apologize. But do not fret, Warren Tales will be back in full and happy swing after the holly-days of snowy fun and home cooking are passed, with a small taste of book binding, to boot!

So in the mean time, sit pretty, stay merry, and wave goodbye to all that seasonal stress.

12 Days of Christmas

Christmas is quickly approaching, but there is still time to buy some last minute gifts!

The automated machines at USPS tell me that domestic shipping will take 3 days to arrive; so when you add the few extra that an order will probably take to make its way through the windy world of holiday mail, you're left with about 4-7 more days of shopping possibilities.

Some new note card sets are being added to the catalog this week and include a little tea time fun, child's play, good fortune, vintage golf, and some new dandelion and wood grain products, so check back soon for pictures. Of course, if you're interested in any of these and working against the clock, you can email me and I will get the preview and product ready on a rush order.

Don't forget to steer clear of pear trees today, as there will be plenty of partridges a-pooping.

Etsy

Warren Tales is now active on Etsy!

While this blog will continue to act as the main forum for Warren Tales paper craft and discussion, the new Etsy branch will enable me to not only process payments, but keep track of orders by means other than a colony of post-it notes and paper scraps (although I have so far enjoyed my increasingly colourful wall).

I have kicked off the posting process with some of the products you have expressed the most interest in, as well as a few new ones to keep things interesting. New updates will be made regularly and stock will be replenished according to demand, so be sure to check back whenever you can (particularly holiday shoppers)!

 Without further ado, follow me down the rabbit hole...

Rolling Out The Welcome Mat

Hello, and thank you for taking an interest in my work!

To begin, a little bit about my business:

Warren Tales has a growing catalog of original handmade card and note sets, journals, sketch books, photo albums, scrap books, and more. My aesthetic is clean. I find inspiration in book arts and hand-made craft, often utilizing found objects to produce a recycled and vintage feel.

I am interested in consultations and working with the customer to realize new and creative products.

I look forward to building this space as a way of sharing my ideas, process, and final products.
