About Erstwhile

Made, found, collected.
Erstwhile is a small, independent shop run from my studio in southeastern Connecticut. It's a place for the things I make, the things I find, and the things I think are simply too good not to share.
You'll find original art and handmade pieces alongside vintage and collected treasures—sometimes useful, sometimes beautiful, sometimes wonderfully odd. Most are one of a kind, and the piece you see in the photograph is usually the exact piece that will arrive at your door.
There is no warehouse here. No dropshipping or fulfillment center. It's just me in my studio, making and collecting things, photographing them, answering your messages, and wrapping up your order before sending it on its way.
I still like to think of Erstwhile as the sort of little shop you might stumble across down an old cobblestone street: a bit eclectic, always changing, and full of things worth stopping to look at. There's probably a cat around here somewhere, too.
Thanks for stopping by.

A note about shipping
Orders are generally on their way within 48 hours. Everything is packed by me, so occasionally I may need a little extra time.
I happily ship to APO addresses and use Priority Mail for APO orders. International shipping is available by arrangement—send me a message and I'll help find the best option.
Bulky items may also be picked up locally by appointment in southeastern Connecticut.
