Talbert Pipes- A small update

[Trever Talbert]

Hello all!  I write with a small update to the site and some general
overall news for the coming year.  First up, we have three new Ligne
Bretagnes available in the catalog, one of which is one of those
black-feathered "Raven's Wing" rusticated finishes that have proven to be
quite a hit.  You can see them all here:

The last couple Pumpkin orders should be shipping in the not-too-distant
future and I've got a few new Talbert Briars in the works.  I know, it's
been a while since there were any new TBs!  I'd like to think everyone for
their patience over these last couple very difficult years as we dealt with
first my father-in-law's dementia and then my wife's surgeries.  I know
many of you signed up to our list for Talbert Briar news and not just new
Ligne Bretagnes, but through all those difficult times I found it very hard
to get into the mindset to do the more creative work regularly, and often
there just wasn't the time when we were having work interruptions virtually
every day.  However, I'm hopeful that this year we'll be able to get back
more into our Talbert Briar creations, and I intend to start posting new
ones as soon as possible.

I've been reminded of this by my work on our new website, where I've now
finished the gallery pages for Talbert Briars, Talbert Halloweens, and
Ligne Bretagnes.  It was a little harrowing to go back through the past
years' photo records and watch the Talbert Briar output drop from 50-60
pipes per year in 2016 and before, to 10, to 4, to none...

The new website is coming along slowly but steadily.  New features will be
a mobile-friendly design, a full online store with shopping cart,
capabilities for sales and promotions, and even order-your-own capabilities
for some regularly-produced Ligne Bretagne shapes, if all goes well.  For
your entertainment, I've attached a little screencap from one of the new
site's galleries below.  That's all for the moment.  Thank you for your
time and for your interest in our work!
Happy Smoking,
Trever Talbert
