I designed this site when my card company was still just a concept. Now, four years later, I am able to launch the store that I promised at inception!

Under the Shop tab, you will find access to all the paper products, greeting cards, original art and giclees that I make. The Krinkles, my ornaments, may come along later.

We, at Patience Brewster Cards, are just getting our feet wet here! Please know that standing at the ready are Rebecca Dalton and Marietta Gregg, who will help you find what ever it is you need.
