Our Build Your Own Terrarium station is now operational! We will keep this around until we sell all our plants or they die on us. (Taking bets on which comes first.)
Tomte. Modern Craft
a showcase for awesome craftiness.
New in Store! We are now carrying goodies from Colorado based Objects of Affection. Yipee!
Tomte will be on vacation Monday, August 2nd – Sunday, August 8th. Sorry for the inconvenience, but this gnome needs a getaway! If you need a handmade fix while we are closed, Beth will open the store by appointment. Please call us at 303.717.0371 to schedule a time to stop by
Sidewalk sale today only! Vital 10 bin (in rack form), clearance glassware, candles, hats, ect!
Mark your calendars! Saturday, July 24th Tomte will have a terrarium building station. Five dollars gets you plants, dirt, and our terrarium building guidance. Bring your own container or purchase one of ours. We will also have terrarium bits for sale to jazz up your gnome environment. 11-6pm (or until supplies last)
We now have yarn In Store! How exciting! This yarn is from local artist Megan Mahaffey.
Everyone will have a great holiday! We are open today, but will be closed tomorrow for the 4th.
We’ve put out a new batch of terrariums with more on the way! We also have a bunch of terrarium bits from Mudpuppy that may just make it into the store.
Speaking of Mudpuppy… Baby Head planters are in!
Just in time for Father’s Day we now have screen printed ties by Cyberoptix TieLab! Each tie is hand-screened by Bethany Shorb all in her downtown Detroit studio using high-quality, non-toxic, waterbased ink.
We are very excited to have picked up Your Secret Admiral at the Austin Renegade! Your Secret Admiral is a Brooklyn-based artist, who specializes in handmade books, drawings, and paper goods. Most of her goods are environmentally friendly and are created from recycled, reused, repurposed, rescued, and reloved materials. We have some card packs and little weekly lists, but the jewel is the hand bound journals! Each book is is made from papers that are collected, assembled, folded, cut, and bound together. Many of them have vintage hardcovers as the cover for the journal. These one of a kind books are pure awesomeness!
We hope you are all having a happy holiday weekend!
Our current store feature is fellow TOSA artist Tim Willink of Windmill Woodworks. Tim’s wood shop is located just behind our wallpapered wall. He works with salvaged lumber from fences and barns. Many of the picture frames and birdhouses we have in the store are painted fun bright colors, but our favorite are the ones were the weathered wood is left in its original state. Tim crafts lots of other pieces besides what we have in the shop including benches and case pieces. (He is also known to do custom work if you ask nicely.) Check out some of his picture frames in our online showcase here: http://tomtecraft.bigcartel.com/
