🎉 Celebrating 17 Years! 🎉 (& 1 Year in Sprucedale🌲)

We had a pretty perfect anniversary celebration last Saturday in Sprucedale! Thank you to everyone who brightened our day with their happy smiles and presence at our first outdoor/indoor event, featuring a fun Pop-Up Maker Market and sale. It was amazing to see both our indoor and outdoor spaces filled with our community from near and far.

Shipping Updates | the workroom

Shipping Updates

We are working day and night (literally) catching up on your orders and we can't thank you enough for keeping us busy here in the shop. Shipping times are still MUCH slower than normal. We appreciate how excited you are to receive your order, please know it is in line with all the other orders and that you will receive a notification as soon as the package is heading out the door. There is nothing we can do to make this process go any quicker as much as we wish we could. We think we are doing pretty great considering the physical, staff and safety constraints we are under as a very small team.

Thank You! | the workroom

Thank You!

It's hard to believe that it's just been a month since we launched our new online shop. Thankfully, it was just in the nick of time, so that we could continue to serve you during these challenging changes. We've received almost 600 orders since the March 10th launch and we're doing our best to keep up at a good pace, while working solo in the shop. Thank you for your amazing support. It brings us a lot of joy to get these supplies to you so you can continue crafting, now more than ever.

the workroom loves you | the workroom

the workroom loves you

There are just two things we know for sure right now. the workroom loves you and we love what we do. We are slowly establishing a new rhythm and routine that now includes single person shifts in the shop, so we can continue to social distance while keeping your orders moving. Shipping & Contactless Curbside Pick Ups will resume April 3rd. Please continue to check the website for our ever changing updates.

Orders are shipping out in sequence, so the sooner you place your order the sooner it will be ready to ship/for pick up. Timelines are considerably slower as we catch up, but we hope to get things moving more quickly very soon. Please plan ahead for your pick up orders as there may be 30+ orders in line ahead of you and there is just one person working.

Dear Friends,

With everything changing hour to hour, we will be using this space to update you with shop news should you seek it out rather than add to the daily noise of your inbox. We are all being flooded with excess information and our goal is to keep you informed, but mostly to keep you inspired & crafting, cuz that's what we do best.
