There is just something about letterpress. We are drawn to the hand crafted feel of letter press cards. The weight of history when seeing an actual letterpress machine in person. And the letters! You can carry a small piece of that history around with you. *sigh*
Belt buckle and money clip by Steel Toe Studios. Letterpress necklaces by She’s Crafty Handmade. Available in store.
New In Store: Leah Duncan pillows! Yippee!
UPDATE: These are now available in our online store: click here.
Fall is in the air. In our crafty retailing world that means late nights and extra goings on. Not that we are complaining. We live for this time of year. Orders are coming in as Tomte is receiving new crafty goodness every day. Orders are going out as Brett stocks crafty boutiques with Vital gear and local businesses with their own custom gear. We are on the edge. On the edge of all sorts of happy things.
We are on the beginning of planning for Tomte’s one year birthday. Perhaps the first Saturday in November? Brett will brew a special Tomte beer for the event. Some gnomes will be felted, for our gnome army is to take over the world. Also, there is some exciting news that we will officially announce at that time. All good things.
We look forward to sharing the holiday season with you.
(Michael McDowell made Tomte a special batch of terrarium gnomes. These are now available at our B&M store.)
Tomte is now carrying Steel Toe Studios out of Seattle! We have bike cog belt buckles and bottle openers, as well as leather belt straps.
We are so excited that Tomte was featured on the Scoutie Girl blog’s Best of the Bricks! Check out the interview here: http://www.scoutiegirl.com/2010/09/tomte-modern-craft-denver.html.
We are excited to have an update from Luck Me Beads out of Fort Collins! We now have leather rings, eyeglass lens pendants, resin pendants, and vintage game piece pendants, as well as a new supply of the optician lens pendants!
Tomte is so happy to be featured on Craftzine.com today! Yay! Check out the post here: http://tinyurl.com/24kmch9
One other note: we will be closed Labor Day, Monday September 6th.
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.)
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
