FAQ:

Can I really mail the fabric postcard? Yes! I have mailed fabric postcards for over 18 years and have never had one lost in the mail. Apply a standard stamp to the upper right hand side of the back of the card. No additional postage is needed. For cards with a white or very light background, you may want to have the stamp hand postmarked at the post office desk. Alternatively, mail your card in an envelope to keep it clean in transit. I suggest mailing out of country postcards in an envelope - EDIT - I tested mailing the cards without and envelope to USA (2025/2025) and Australia (2025) and they arrived! A friend mailed one without and envelop to Portugal (2025) and it arrived safely as well. Yay!

Is the back of the postcard paper or fabric? 100% cotton fabric.

What type of pen should I use to address the fabric postcard? I use an extra fine permanent marker, but any ballpoint or gel pen will work. Just get the ink flowing before you start writing on the fabric. Be prepared with your words… pausing with the marker may create bleed spots.

Would you consider making a custom card? Yes. See “Consignment” below.

Terms of service.

Payment: We currently accept credit card and debit payment for on-line purchases via Square. In-person customers may pay with cash, e-transfer or credit/debit card. Self-serve payments at Dow’s ClimateCare in Kingston (and AWEC/Dow’s partnership) use QR codes for credit card payments.

Shipping: Standard shipping fees are included in the all prices, both postcards and fabrics. Each order is protected in a plastic envelope and mailed via Canada Post in a paper envelope. I do my best to ship your order as they are received, but sometimes life commitments will slow me down :-). You should receive your order within approximately one week.

We currently are accepting Canadian orders only. That said, if you are out of county, please feel free to contact me directly at windingriverstudio@yahoo.com… I am sure we can sort shipping fees for your orders!

Returns: Given the nature of this small business, I am not offering refunds or exchanges at this time. All sales are final. Thank you for your understanding.

Consignment: Please feel free to contact me if you see something you love and would like multiple postcards of the same design - although they won’t be identical, they will be very similar. Talk to me about a special request - I love a design challenge and I am sure we can create a card for you. A $5 design fee applies to the first fabric postcard of any new design/patterns. All postcards are 4”x6”. Increasing a design to 5’X7” is an additional $10.

Workshops: I offer in-person workshops for smaller groups (no more than 15) on how I create my fabric postcards. If interested, please email me at windingriverstudio@yahoo.com for details and pricing.
