New Tintype Collection Coming Soon!
We are very psyched to announce our only batch of tintype journals for the year! I’ve collected more historic tins for what has become an annual event at Peg and Awl.
This past weekend, the Peg and Awl team traveled back in time with @gilesclement and his partner Kendra, witnessing and partaking in many tintype and ambrotype sessions at the Peg and Awl workshop (read our blog post about that here). When I pour over each portrait from the 1800s, choosing the right one for each journal, giving them new names, I wonder about the day, the preparation, who the photographer was. I wish I had a time machine to hear their conversations, to witness their awkwardness and unexpected giggles, that nearly always ended with a grim countenance.
Browse our newest Tintype collection here, and sign up for our newsletter to be notified of the launch time! Go ahead, find your favourite, and fill the pages within with your stories and let us wonder what another 150 years will bring.

How does a thing begin? With a word, a colour, a rhythm thumping around in one’s head. Ideas rise from the perfect and unexpected combination of little things. This one started with a remembered crunch of vintage chiclet gum upon finding partly faded fabric, shells from the water’s edge, and well-worn aprons and quilts bearing evidence of past existence. It is also spring, and the springy colors of Chiclets and chicklets and flowers abound. When I came upon two little hand-stitched curtains with yellow and chartreuse flowers, it all came together. Weird and wonderful – just as we like it.

Collections Explained
If you’ve been following along with us for a while, you may have noticed that not all launches are the same – some products stay for years, some fly off the shelves, and others fall somewhere in between. Here are some explanations to distinguish between our various collection types.
Standard Collections: Everything in our standard collections will be ongoing until we decide to stop making them! They may include some vintage or antique materials, (ex. journal fabric lining) but these details will vary subtly to ensure their ongoingness.
Small Batch Collections: Limited batches incorporating vintage or antique materials where larger batches can be made, but are not infinite! The quantity ranges, but we aim for minimum of 100 in these collections.
Of a Kind Collections: Limited batches incorporating vintage or antique materials. Each object will be limited from 1–20 items depending upon our findings.

I went to New York for two days to visit friends. I didn't take photographs except for my little wander to a coffee shop in the morning. We discovered that pigeons nest in the Sycamore Tree hollows. Most of the visit felt like old Sesame Street episodes. The dogs, the crossing guards, the wire fences.
My paint palette!
Visited Yoseka Stationery Shop. What a magical place! It was packed. I didn't take a single photograph. :(
