Foxwright Apothecary: Pride Potions, New Managment, 7/31/2026
July 31, 2026
Hello everyone, my name is Autumn. Crow has asked me to manage this project and fulfill all obligations related to all unfinished campaigns.
Why have I been asked to do this?
- Crow's recent and longstanding health issues that will not be disclosed further.
- Pre-existing production and distribution issues.
- Recent and longstanding complaints that have pushed Crow to reach out to me.
- My experience managing similar projects and timelines.
What is a reasonable timeline?
- Immediately, I will take the surplus products produced and begin selling them at conventions, festivals, and online spaces not otherwise affiliated with Crow. I will do this to raise my own funds for shipping.
- When I have gathered these funds, I will ship the pins to you. I can also provide a hand written note of apology upon request.
- Nope, that's it. No third step.
What should you expect?
- These products will start appearing in the Chicago, Chicagoland, and Baltimore/Annapolis areas.
- These products will also be brought to Etsy, and potentially more online spaces, if Etsy is too slow.
- If you choose to purchase any of these products from Etsy, then you will immediately be shipped that product without further fanfare. The shipping details and payment are baked into that interaction.
- All of this should be finally done and over with by the end of the year, depending entirely on how quickly I can raise shipping funds.
- Refunds are potentially possible, depending once again on how well the products (mainly pins) sell, and how many people request refunds and to what amount.
Why did I agree to do this?
- There are more pins (and other products) that were produced than were needed, due to communication issues while switching manufacturers.
- I can sell these excess pins (no, not your pins - I've already collected and bagged those for shipping) for profit on my end.
- The pin designs were genuinely good, and Crow has offered them to me as extra payment for when all of this is done.
- Finally, they want to wash their hands of this years-long ordeal and be done with it, and I sympathize with that. I'm sure that all of you want this to be done and over with as well.
A brief about me:
Hello, you can call me Autumn. I help people manage small businesses, primarily with my education in Logistics and Supply Chain Management, as well as some marketing experience. Now, most of that is irrelevant to shipping things out to you, but it sure helps.
Previously, I've been behind the scenes of a few local businesses, but I've never outright spoken to the customer base.
I will link fresh socials for marketing below. I will give updates on progress every other day, largely for your peace of mind.
That's all from me! The wait is almost over.

Summer Update - Pride Potions
As everyone is more than well aware, the original timeline has long since gone out the window.
Foxwright Apothecary pins are in hand, graded, and on cards. They’re waiting to be packaged up and shipped out. I had hoped to do this earlier in the spring, however, my wife had to have major surgery with an extended hospital stay, on top of my working full time. I am working on getting help with this stage of fulfillment, and hope to see more moving soon.
Pride Potions pins are in hand, but ungraded. Once the prior campaign is more completely out the door, we will be moving onto this step, again, I will be getting help as I am able.
Decadent Orchard is regretfully still in the waiting phase as I am wrangling the other two.
—---
It was never meant to all happen this way, I found myself caught in the perfect storm of everything going wrong from every front all at once and I am, quite frankly, utterly exhausted and trying so hard to put this all behind me. Once these projects are all finished, I will be indefinitely stepping back from projects and scrapping all my concepts/future planning.

New Year's Update - Pride Potions
[This was intended to be posted on the 31st but got trapped in my drafts. I had thought I'd been keeping DO updated along with the others, but alas.)
End of the year, I’m keeping it short and sweet for status updates:
FOXWRIGHT APOTHECARY
Working through it! There’s a lot to process and organize and my semester ended mid-December while I immediately followed up with working 2 weeks straight without any sort of break, plus the holidays. Going into 2026 this remains the priority, as it has been.
PRIDE POTIONS
Pins are in hand and have been for a while! Apologies for lack of updates, it’s been a rough couple of months. I haven’t yet pulled them all together to get good photos for y’all because there’s 35 individual designs and the prior campaign has been the priority.
DECADENT ORCHARD
Is… still in limbo while I sort out the prior two, as stated before.
——
And listen, I am fully aware that I am not great at providing updates. I ask, please, just be patient with me and not hound me on other platforms where I just kill time on my commute for the most part. I’m one person who works full time to support a household of two and have limited time— and spoons— to wrangle comments and process pins to make sure no B or C grades slip through the cracks. I’m well aware that I’ve stretched myself far too thin and bit off more than I can chew, I’m doing my best to get things in order.
From here forward I’m probably going to switch to this format of one update that addresses everything crossposted to all three campaigns instead of individually making separate updates to make it less overwhelming. Otherwise, I’m whittling down my inbox, dealing with some lingering ghosts that haven’t left my possession yet, and all around managing my loose ends.
Have a happy New Year!

Pride Potions: August Update
They're here-- and have been for a few weeks!
I've also been working full-time and the heatwaves have meant my office space has been in the 90s and my apartment in general has been in the upper 80s which has significantly slowed me down, but that's all behind us now (I hope? Please don't let it be disgustingly hot out anymore) and things are moving again! The focus is on packing Foxwright pins before these, but they should hopefully be in quick succession. Updates should be more frequent again, as it is no longer far too hot to function, and pin photos will follow soon.
Thank you everyone for the continued support and patience, I can't wait to get these out to you!

Pride Potions: July Update
Hey all! Short and sweet here, the pins for this campaign have been shipped out and tracking says they should be arriving on either Tuesday or Wednesday! After that, grading and packing can begin, and finally shipping-- thank you all so much for your patience, and I'll be sure to update with photos once I've got them in hand!

Pride Potions: June Update
Hi all! So sorry for the delay in getting this update out to you, a lot of my energy and time had to be devoted to locking down a day job and subsequently adjusting to the new schedule and learning the ropes.
Foxwright Apothecary pins have been delivered to me (and are stunning, my new manufacturer is amazing)-- and my wife and I are working to get those processed and sent out. As for Pride Potions, pins are complete and going to be shipped from the manufacturer to me in the coming week, so those will also be in hand-- I'll be sure to get photos when they arrive!
Thank you so, so much for the patience-- and Happy Pride 2025!

Another Laura Rae video...wonder if we'll hit a third at this rate ╮(╯_╰)╠https://youtu.be/YEGBVIj-DQo?si=1MUIRhlA2EMRHCXz
Has there been any update from the creator or what’s happening with the pins?

I emailed Backerkit support to report the project, so they are aware of what’s going on at least. I don’t know if anyone else reported, but Backerkit seems to be paying attention. I don’t know what they can/will do about it, but this is the email I received back from them. We’ll see I guess 🤷 Thank you for your report, (my name). We've followed up with this creator regarding the delay in updates regarding their project fulfillment. If a project is found in violation of the BackerKit Crowdfunding Rules our team will take the appropriate action. If you have any additional information that you feel could help with our review, please provide it in this email thread.
