Hello ~

Smoke tests are out! Surveys should be going live tomorrow, all going well. This one was a beast to set up, so sorry for the delay. We did end up listing everything we still have in stock in the add-on store, so if there's anything you missed you can find it there. The survey store is not as well organised so I recommend ctrl+f for the campaign or product type you're looking for, but I did try my best. 

We will start charging cards and locking orders next Monday (17th) so we can start shipping out right away. There won't be a warning email this time. Everything's ready to ship so we're getting to it as fast as possible. Make sure you're happy with your order and let us know if you need to change your address right away. Try to do your survey at your earliest convenience, we'll just keep charging/locking automatically as they come in.

That's it for now, drop us a message if you spot any mistakes please, it was a bit of a slog.

Thanks ~

HEY BEEEEES ~

Okay I grabbed a couple of pictures but they're a bit rough, sorry. I packed up my light box to make space for this big shipping endeavour. 

There are tiny fish sequins in there but you can only really see them when you move them around. The glitter is holographic not pink/orange, its just catching the light here. Its in different sizes and blue colourshift as well as the holo effect. They are impossible to photograph true to life, haha. They're very pretty in person. There are three posts on the back with locking clasps, since they are pretty heavy. The rocks are a polished 3d effect, and the lilypads have screen printed details. 

So far we've had no defective ones and no bubbles developing, but if you find a problem with yours do let me know! I check them all rigorously. The new manufacturing method seems much much better though.

I hope that helps! Anything else you want to see leave a comment here and I'll do my best.

HEY BEEEEEES

The first 48 hours have been mad, thank you so much guys T_T. 

There's not really much for me to update with this one. But I've had a request for some pictures, so if there's any item that hasn't been photographed that you particularly want to see, drop a reply to this update. I'm going to try to get a session in over the weekend. 

So far I've been asked about the koi pond pins.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend ~

Hey everyone ~

Time for the next seasonal sale! For anyone who missed the winter sale, here's how it works.

The seasonal sales are ready to ship items only. That means that there's no funding goal, and only items that we already have made are available. There are strict deadlines for getting out the surveys and shipping orders, and everything is laid out a little differently. You can either pick a bundle deal pledge for big savings; or choose the £1 a la cart option and both will take you to the add-on page. There will be many, many items to choose from here! So make sure you check out the categories section for the campaign that you want.

Keep scrolling for a peek at some of the items we have for you this time ~

Our winter partner is back for the summer, and we're collaborating with The Bestiary. Back both projects to receive a keychain from each.

Theirs is this adorable, 2" painted effect wooden bee and flowers keychain. And ours is a chonky summer jackalope, which matches our winter jackalope. It will be 2.5" with an epoxy coating on one side for a smooth finish. 

Same as last time, there's not really enough time for freebie mini pins. So, what we have instead;

Early birds will receive a random B grade pin. I have hundreds of perfectly good pins with very minor mistakes, like a wrong coloured spot or missing a tiny bit of screen print. If you order a B grade as part of your pledge I will make sure it doesn't double up.

Pre-launch followers will get a rainbow heart holographic sticker. Imagine the sticker is cut to the heart shape and the coloured part has a holo effect. They'll be 3" matt finish vinyl.

Returning backers will get a physalis branch metallic sticker. Imagine the sticker is cut to the shape of the branch, and it has a varying metallic effect on some areas. They'll be 3" matt finish vinyl. 

Both sticker effects are very pretty but nearly impossible to photograph. As usual I will exchange them for a couple of random non holo/metallic stickers if you hate holo, just throw it in the notes section. 

The seasonal sales are a great place to pick up freebies that you missed, get discounts on older pins and bundles, or to find extremely limited quantity prototypes. I love to test out new products and then half the time forget to ever list them - there are even some alternate pin colours I've forgotten to list before.

We have items all the way up to and including Literary Critters, although from the most recent campaigns there are no pins, just the sample/tester products that we had made before the campaign started.

Chances are, if there is a very limited stock, I won't be making them again or I changed the design for the final version, so if you like the look of something, grab it now ~

It takes a lot of time to set up for sales like this, so I don't always have photographs (if I stopped every time I found a missing stock picture, half of it would never get listed). Sometimes its just a diagram or a proof image. I do my best but you can always drop a message on a news post if you really, really gotta see something.

There's nothing much to update on this one, so I'll leave you with some item previews and hopefully see you when the sale launches!
