 Hi everyone!

The final files for the enamel pins and sticker sheets have officially been sent off for production! 🎉 Everything is now moving into the manufacturing stage, and I’m so excited to finally see these designs become real, physical goodies.

What happens next?

Once everything arrives, I’ll be able to:

Please keep in mind that the one-month timeframe is an estimate, since manufacturing and transit times can occasionally vary. I’ll keep everyone updated if anything changes along the way.

I’ll also share another update when I receive production photos/proofs or when everything is officially on its way to me!

Thank you so much for your patience and for supporting Carnival of Colors. Seeing these little Pride Jesters go from drawings on my screen to actual enamel pins is incredibly exciting, and I can't wait for you to finally have yours! 

More updates soon!
