This gives me enough quantities to send to my manufacturer, so I'll be locking orders and placing the pin order this week.
If you've submitted your survey, you'll get an email from BackerKit that gives you a 48-hour notice to make any changes to your order. After that, your survey responses will be locked.
If you haven't submitted your survey response yet, you still can. Addresses will not be locked until I have the pins in hand and start shipping, and I'll send an update when that time is approaching.
It doesn't look like we'll meet the goal for Milky Tea or the other rainbow metal Treat pins (womp womp) so I've taken those out of carts before cards get charged.
We're a little shy on Matcha, but I'm getting them anyway so if you pledged for Matcha (or all-in), you will get one!
I'll be closing surveys on Tuesday, 6/30.
This gives everyone a couple weeks to catch up, including resolving any failed payments.

New mugs available!
On a fun note, I've put a Beans mug and a Kit-Tea mug up on my website! They're both 15 oz and have this fun inside color + matching handle.
Beans comes in blue, and Kit-Tea comes in blue and pink.
These are not part of the campaign so they ship within 7 to 9 days of ordering.
✨✨✨
Everything is moving along smoothly, and I'll be in touch with more updates soon!
Hey friends! We've got more than 65% survey completion already, WOW!
There have been a couple fixes and updates based on your feedback:
Some pledge levels were not showing pin choices - this has been fixed!
Add-on shipping had been applied to pins, mugs, and art pieces. Pins and art pieces no longer incur add-on shipping, and this is now reflected in your order
Only mugs will incur add-on shipping, as I will be shipping these separately and they are heavier.
Thanks for all of your feedback and patience as I make these adjustments - some comments have been super helpful and informative for this + future campaigns!
If you see an issue, the best way to get it in front of my eyeballs is to send it to Backerkit Support! They send the questions right to me and I'm able to see them right away.
As for unlockable items,
One More Matcha is the closest to unlocking!
Other cool observations:
The Beans Cafe pin is by far the most popular pin design, nearly doubling the next closest design
Y'all love the sticker sheets
Cheers! Lindsey + the cats (specifically Ratchett who is currently headbutting me and my phone..)
It's almost that time! when you get to pick your designs!!!
I just sent "smoke tests" which send the surveys to a small subset of you, in order to see if there are any glitches that need to be fixed.
Once everything looks good on the survey front, I'll send out the surveys to everyone. I'll need to get my quantities to the manufacturer before July, so I really appreciate you completing the surveys when they go out!
As always, if you have any questions, feel free to reach out.
To the 167 backers, to Max (!!!), to my friends and family, to my beloved barista friends, to random strangers that laughed a little at one of these designs, everyone who supported this project or just offered a kind word.
To each and everyone one of you.. THANK YOU! IT'S HAPPENING!
I'm so pleased that you enjoyed my silly little art enough to back this project.

On a personal note, I'm fairly new to crowdfunding and I've been enjoying the heck out of it, because it allows me to connect with so many people AND share my silly little ideas with you.
And let me tell you, I have LOTS of silly little ideas.
On that note, I have another enamel pin project coming in September(ish..) that I'd love to share with you and invite you to follow.
