We have had an AMAZING start to this campaign! Within the first 30 minutes we had 2 pins fully funded, and now an hour and some change in we have 3! We're extremely close to the fourth stretch goal, Squirrelstar!
Reminder to share this with people you know who love Warriors! The community hubs for Warriors are very sparse and in between- and I'd love to see this campaign reach as high as the stars in Silverpelt!
Join my discord for more info, updates, ect!
Remember that we've got some AMAZING freebies and incentives attached to this campaign!
Thank you so much everyone for such a successful first few hours of the campaign ! We've officially funded all pins available right now and I want to take a moment to celebrate our achievements!
We managed a whopping 170 backer train ! Thank you !
With all pins unlocked I have one more surprise today which is a sticker made by guest artist Keeneire ! This sticker will unlock at $14,000 and will be added free to the lovestruck bundle, cupid's arrow bundle, and hopeless romantic bundle ! You'll also be able to add it on to your pledge for $5 !
I just wanted to pop in to say that I've opened all pledge levels and add-ons. I had them hidden because I don't want to disappoint anyone if the larger pins don't unlock, but I've had a couple of people reach out asking for them. So if you'd like to back for the larger pins, you can do now, but please be aware they might not unlock.
What an incredible launch! Thank you all SO much for the love on Pond's Teahouse & Gardens! I'm delighted to announce that, in under an hour, we have REACHED AND EXCEEDED OUR INITIAL FUNDING GOAL! We have ALSO unlocked the first stretch goal, the Frog Brew pin!!! As of me writing this post, we are currently less than $100 away from unlocking Pond in a Teapot! Absolutely incredible. Thank you so much! How many more can we unlock today? ✨
I have some photos for you today! Here's a preview of the Pond's Field Notes pin, which is FREE for folks that pledge to the limited "9 Enamel Pin" tier! Out of 10 available, there are only 4 remaining 👀✨ If we reach all of funding goals, I will add this Field Notes hinge pin as a stretch goal! Even if you don't back this tier, I'm really happy to show you all this pin. I hope you love it!
Again, thank you so much for the love on Pond's Teahouse & Gardens! Seeing the outpouring of love has me absolutely awestruck, and this update is a few hours late going up because I keep finding myself at such a loss for words!
A reminder that Pond's Teahouse & Gardens is collaborating with Doily by Amber & Moss! Definitely go check it out (and know that, if you back both, you get some seriously cute collab pins)! Amber has designed a darling plushie and enamel pin based on a blue teddy bear named Doily, and I know they've stolen my heart.
To wrap up this update, I want to give another shout-out to the Pond's Teahouse & Gardens campaign freebies! We're coming up on our next stretch goal (and just reached 50 backers) and I want to give these some love!
Thank you for such an amazing launch so far! Let's get all of these froggin' adorable pins unlocked!
First order of business: the Inhabited Teapot is our poll winner, and will be the first design to unlock as a stretch goal. 🫖 This design will be followed by: "Family Portrait," Watchful Tome, Jeweled Beetle, Animated Inkwell, Looking Glass, and Observant Flora.
And Now, Details about Freebies! 🌙
Early birds who pledge within the first 48 hours receive an iron-on patch (approx. 4 x 3 inches). No matter if you pledge for 1 pin or 4, this coffin-shaped box is yours! Don't mind the knocking coming from within. :-)
Plus, all backers who pledge for 3 or more pins get the "Celestial Eye" mini pin for free. What a great feeling to be acknowledged by a cosmic being.
These items will also be available as add-ons.
In case you missed it, the Pintopia cross-collab designs!
As a part of this year's Pintopia, the Archive is excited to partner up with Jeszika LeVye and her campaign Sorceress—Guiding Spirits & Haunting Familiars. Back Moon Hollow Archive and Sorceress for a physical reward to receive the Twilight Lantern and Astronomer collab pins for free!
Jeszika's Sorceress pins are more like enamel art pieces. They will measure over 4 inches tall (# of pin posts TBD), and are intended to be displayed on 5x7 inch backing cards. And yes, the cross-collab freebie will also be over 4 inches in size!
Collaboration pins are gifted to every backer who pledges to both campaigns,provided both reach their initial funding goal.
My manufacturer has sent me some mock-ups of the pin designs and they look amazing 😍 but now I have another question for you (this time it isn't in a poll). I would love to know which colour combination you prefer for the Smut Lovers Club Early Bird pin? Don't worry, you can change your mind later.
Do you like the silver metal with black pearl swirl or the gold metal with purple swirl pearl?
Let me know in the comments which one is your favourite 😊
Pond's Teahouse & Gardens launches in just under 4 days, and I am here to deliver a LOT of exciting news! I'll be introducing our collab partner, talking about freebies, and giving some important information about Early Bird pledges! Grab a warm cup of tea and enjoy!
COLLAB PARTNER:
I'd like to introduce you all to Doily, the darling pin and plush project by my lovely cross-collab partner, Amber & Moss!
Doily by Amber & Moss is a plush and pin campaign based on the adorable and posable blue teddy bear, Doily!
This cross-collab is such a dream come true, and I am beyond excited to reveal our collab pin designs to you! If you back both of our campaigns, and if we both reach our funding goals, you can get a Teatime Doily pin (as a part of Pond's Teahouse & Gardens) and an Plush Pond pin (as a part of Doily) FOR FREE!
Doily pin by me (Feywild Haven) and Plush Pond pin by Amber & Moss! Back both campaigns to get these freebies!
FREEBIES:
The collab freebies aren't the only ones I'm offering! Be one of the first 100 backers and get a freebie Pond sticker! Early Bird backers that pledge for 3+ pins get a free mystery teapot sticker, and all backers that pledge for 3+ pins receive a teapot mini pin for free!
Now for something I'm BEYOND excited for... I'm offering a LIMITED PLEDGE LEVEL! Be one of 10 to back the "9 Enamel Pins" pledge level and get this Field Notes hinge pin for FREE! You can still pledge for the full set of 9 pins using add-ons later, but the free Field Notes pin is limited to the "9 Enamel Pins" pledge level alone! If we meet all of our funding goals, I will add this design to our stretch goals!
Pond's Field Notes is a hinged enamel pin that opens like a book!
EARLY BIRDS:
Why should you back early? Early Birds (people that back in the first 48hrs) get to enjoy steep discounts and, if backing for 3 or more pins, also get a freebie mystery teapot sticker (and freebie mini pin for backing 3 or more pins). I also have a Pond sticker that's free for the first 100 backers!
Be sure to take advantage of the "Pledge Now, Pay Later" feature of BackerKit and back early! You won't be charged until after the campaign ends, and only if we reach our funding goal. CLICK HERE and follow the project to get notified when we go live so you can take advantage of all the deals and freebies!
Another important note: If you back as an Early Bird, but cancel your pledge after the first 48hrs of the campaign, you will not be able to back as an early bird again. You'll still be able to enjoy the discounts and freebies detailed on the other pledge levels, though!
That's it for the update! A cute collab announcement, cute freebies, and Early Bird talks! Pond hopes that you love everything, and we can't wait to see you there!
We are proud to announce our PINTOPIA cross-collab partnership with THE COMPANIONto create two additional pins that you get for FREE if: -you pledge and back any physical tier to both campaigns -both campaigns meet their initial funding goal.

Just popping in for a quick update! We’re super excited to let you know that thework for the surveys is all wrapped up and surveys are currently under review! 🎉 We’re expecting Backerkit to give us the green light within the next few business days (even if they'll have an office closure on Jan 20). Fingers crossed for a smooth approval so we can kick off the Smoke Test soon!
Thank you all so incredibly much for your patience and support! ❤️ In the meantime, here’s a little sneak peek of the survey and some awesome graphics we’ve worked on!
I still have a bit of work to do on this design, but I wanted to show you how the Horror Smut pin is coming along so far 😊
I should hopefully be finished with this design tomorrow and then I'll be working on the Final Girl pin this weekend, so keep an eye out for more updates.
