Fundraiser Update!

Hello everyone.
I finally got the photos of the tea wallets done, so now we can talk about Operation: Help TimAndBen get to San Antonio!
As I've previously posted, Aaron and I are attending Zombicon; a one day horror convention in San Antonio. We have a booth reserved there to sell our plush voodoo dolls, artwork, and some other crazy stuff we have in mind. Not only is this trip going to get some much needed exposure for TimAndBen Dolls and Design, it'll give Aaron and I a chance to meet people with the same interests as us, and hopefully allow us to share some ideas and artwork with people who are as passionate about the weird as we are.
I've been a little worried about how we were going to afford our trip there, with the baby due in two weeks (gah), and us driving there, and finally came up with the idea to sell a few useful items to help offset the costs of our travel and stay there.

So, let me introduce you to the tea wallets.





If you're anything like me, you really, really like drinking fresh brewed tea. Like, everywhere. I usually have some manner of tea bag in my pocket in case I run into a cup of hot water and a caffeine craving. (Not that I've been able to indulge lately...)

 The problem with this is that, even with the little foil or paper packet that the tea bag comes in, the tea bag usually tears; leaving me with a messy, grain-filled pocket. Or the flavor gets distorted. Or the tea bag gets dirty and crumpled. Whatever. But with these cute little wallets, I really don't have to worry about it anymore.


It's a simple little fold over design, that holds four individually wrapped tea packets. I hand make each myself.

It measures about 4" by 3" (closed), so it should fit into just about any pocket.
The best part is that even if you don't drink tea, the pockets in the wallet are the right size to organize cards in your pocket or purse!
 When you order a tea wallet from me, I'll include four packets of organic oolong tea.

                              The plain striped wallets and the tie-dyed wallets are $5 each.

















And the cartoon or heart patterned wallets are $7 each.






Shipping is free for any order.

If you like these, and have any preference of color or pattern, message me on our Facebook page or on etsy, and I'm sure we can work something out.

There's more info on our Etsy store, so head over there and help Aaron and I get to San Antonio and get yourself a neat handmade wallet in the deal!
