I’m packing up my studio and making a big move- from Atlanta to Chicago!  I’ll be getting back to work in the Museum biz, as Assistant Registrar at the Smart Museum of Art, Chicago.  I’m super excited, but also a bit overwhelmed.  First up, the aforementioned packing- followed by shipping.  Which got me thinking: since I’ll have to pay to ship my books out of Atlanta, why not ship them straight to my customers?  And so, the Free Shipping sale was born.  Here’s the details:

* The Free Shipping sale runs from July 5th - July 16th.

* Free shipping applies to U.S. addresses only, but I will discount International orders- just send me a message and I’ll get you a quote.

* When the Free Shipping sale ends I’ll be putting the shop “On Vacation” for a few weeks- so now’s the time to get shopping!

Also, it is worth noting- I have a number of vintage goodies in my shop at the moment.  Free shipping applies to those as well!  So get shopping and I’ll get packing.  And I’ll check in again with you all when I’m in Chicago!

Head on over to the BEST (Bookbinding Etsy Street Team) blog and check out the “R” members of the abeedarian, including me!  A big part of being an “R” for me is using recycling in my books: whether it be upcycling thrift shop finds, yard sale goodies and graphically interesting materials normally headed to the trash, or incorporating recycled paper pages and tree free/ eco friendly papers into lovely traditional journals.

And while you’re browsing the lovely bookbinding Etsy “R”s keep in mind that BEST is haveing a Back to School Sale next week, September 1 - 7th.  I’ll be offereing free shipping on domestic U.S. orders and 10% off international orders during the sale- keep your eyes here and on the BEST blog for more details soon!
