RE-LAUNCH: discount & subscriptions

E.T.Printworks is back online!

To celebrate, we are offering a 20% discount
(when you spend £10 or more)
Use Etsy coupon code: RELAUNCHED

(Discounts will be applied automatically when coupon code is entered at Etsy checkout. Offer available until midnight on Sunday 10th March).

Back issues of Enchanted Times Mini are all currently discontinued.   Each issue will now be available for a limited period of one month only, over the coming year.  Three brand new, never-before-seen issues are also scheduled for release, and will investigate the stories of the Frog Prince (and Cinderella), Goldilocks and the Three Bears (and the Billy Goats Gruff), and Red Riding Hood (and the Big Bad Wolf).

Subscribe for a Full Year to be sure you don’t miss a thing!  Full Year subscriptions also include free gifts and bonus issues which will not otherwise be available.

However, if you already have some back issues in your collection, you can fill the gaps by looking out for the monthly re-releases.  Whether you subscribe for 1 month, 6 months or 12 months, your subscription issues will be delivered in an attractive presentation postcard (as shown), stamped by the Fast-As-You-Can Courier Company.

The March re-release is Enchanted Times Mini #0.5 v.i: Peas in our Time.  It will be available throughout the month of March only!

Re-location update

The time has come, and the E.T.Printworks store is now closed for re-location.  We will be re-launching at an as-yet-unspecified date in March, but if you are desperate for the latest old news in the meantime, please visit The Shop of Interest, who are currently stocking a select range of our products, including Truth-Be-Told Mirrors, and some shop-exclusive sampler & gift sets.

Sale updates & latest news

Since we announced our January sale at the beginning of the month, we have learned that an anticipated re-location will affect the E.T.Printworks offices a little earlier than anticipated.  The Printworks will now be entirely CLOSED throughout the month of February.

Place an order at E.T.Printworks* before the end of January and claim a 25% discount on your order simply enter coupon code NEWHOME at checkout

E.T.Printworks will re-launch in March with a number of new designs, ideas and paper-stock.  Please note that certain items currently available will be discontinued following the re-launch, so buy now to avoid disappointment!  

A monthly subscription will be introduced for single issues of Enchanted Times Mini so if there are any gaps in your collection you may wish to take advantage of the current 3 for 2 offer (combined with the aforementioned 25% discount!) before this option is retired.

Please also note that stocks of Enchanted Times Omnibus #1 are running perilously low.  This issue will not be reprinted so don’t miss out on your last chance to buy!

*If you prefer to order through Folksy, drop me a line with or immediately following your order, and I will apply the discount retrospectively, as a Paypal refund.

January Sale!

As E.T.Printworks strives to bring you all the latest old stories in new news, we also strive to bring you products of the finest quality.  With this in mind, we have recently undertaken a series of experiments to determine the best paper on which to print & preserve the stories we bring you.  By the end of the month, all Enchanted Times Mini newspapers will be printed on a fine-grade recycled paper (in an elegant off-white shade with all-over speckling) which provides sharper print clarity and truer colour representation for the most pleasurable reading experience.

In the meantime, you can purchase copies of Enchanted Times Mini* at HALF PRICE while stocks of our original, standard paper are sold through.  This offer will be available strictly while stocks last so don’t miss the opportunity to catch up on the latest old news and be Behind the Times for a fraction of the usual price!

*offer excludes ETM #3.5 Spin! which will continue to be printed on straw paper

Please look out for additional clearance items to be added to the sale category very soon!

Readers rewarded!

ETPrintworks has added a new archive to the site, providing a handy link to projects & features which have been offered FREE in previous blog posts.  This will be updated with any new items as they become available.  Please browse the list and enjoy.  Merry Yuletide!

NEW: Suggestions Box

In the recent Seasonal Sampler Giveaway, entrants were asked if there was a particular story they would like to see covered in a future issue of Enchanted Times.  Responses ranged from Frankenstein/plastic surgery (unlikely!) to anything dog-related (can you think of any doggish fairy tales?  I was blank on this for a while, but actually ‘The Tinder-Box’ by Hans Andersen is a strong contender).

Other suggestions included:

• East of the Sun & West of the Moon
• The Elves and the Shoemaker
• Hans, my Hedgehog
• The Little Mermaid
• The Twelve Dancing Princesses

Who knows what the New Year will bring, but I will certainly bear all these suggestions in mind when sending out ET’s roving reporters to uncover new strands of old stories.  In the meantime, please enjoy this stunning adaptation of Andersen’s Little Mermaid by Jenny Smart (whose Thumbelina artwork also featured in ETM #5.5 v.iii A little goes a long way).

Do you have more ideas for stories in need of (further/) investigation by the Enchanted Times?  Please see the new SUGGESTIONS BOX feature, under the drop-down feedback menu above.  If your suggestion leads to a future feature story (or discovery of a new Goblin Market product), you could be a winner – follow the link for further details!

New ETMini back issues

 

Be behind the Times, not behind the times!  ETPrintworks has recently released 4 new back issues of Enchanted Times Mini, to keep you up to speed with all the latest, oldest stories.  Now available:

• ETM #0.1 – Reverse, Revise Recycle: 
  an introduction to the everyday philosophies of the Enchanted Realms, and an overview of how our times have changed/are ever-changing.  This issue features 2 original illustrations of the less common Lemur interpretations of Little Red Riding Hood and Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. We also report on an ongoing trial regarding Mr. B. B. Wolf and the Pygg brothers, proprieters of property rental outfit, Pygg Lets. The AAAA (Action Against Archetypes Alliance) anxiously awaits the outcome.

• ETM #2.5 vol. i – The rat in the hat came back:  
  we discover what happened when the Pied Piper made the mistake of returning to the scene of his most infamous crime, and the townsfolk finally exacted their revenge. This issue is sponsored by Pied Piper Pipes (Providing Pipes for the Professional Piper in Pursuit of Piping Perfection).  We also feature an exclusive ‘evil rat’ illustration by Linda Bowman, and an equally exclusive ‘evil rat’ embroidery pattern for cross stitch and/or blackwork.

• ETM #5.5 vol. i – None so blind: 
  introduces the King’s plan for a healthier future, beginning with provision of free salad plants for all households, and includes a redeemable coupon for you to claim your own FREE packet of Rapunzel seeds!  This issue also features the press release issued by Queen Rapunzel herself, recounting the events which led up to the Great Salad Plan; plus small ads from our sponsors, plus an update on the latest Witch Report, in which the Bad Fairy responsible for the Big Sleep is finally apprehended and brought to trial. Further news on this in our next issue.

• ETM #5.5 vol. ii – The big sleep: 
  reports on activities within the Royal household – which have long lain dormant – following the awakening of the young Princess Aurora. Why has she been forbidden from conducting interviews with reporters directly? Who is her unusually short Prince, and why does he have such an affinity for the accursed spinning wheel, such a fondness for gold, and such keenness with regard to the production of Royal babies…? We address these questions and more!  In other news, the newly crowned Princess Cinderella steps forward as ambassador for StABS (Stop Abuse of Beautiful Stepdaughters) Foundation; and we bring you small ads from our sponsors, including a new spin on the old classic, Who’s Afraid? Worry Bag, now complete with Royal endorsement!

A 3 for 2 offer is also available on most back issues of Enchanted Times Mini – choose this option for the best deal on both cover price & postage!

Special offers & coming soon!

Enchanted Times #5 is in the final stages of preparation, with printing due to commence mid-June.  Pre-order your copy now & receive a bonus of 3 E.T.Printworks postcards!  Pre-orders are available from both TangleCrafts and the E.T.Printworks Store.

There’s no excuse to be behind the times when you’re behind the Enchanted Times!
