The Collectors Guild Cafe is a wonderful place where collectors of all kinds come to talk about their day. They share their collections, enjoy delicious drinks, and in general have a good time. We hired the wonderful Abi Park to illustrate some of the Cafe patrons with their collections, and turn it into a calendar! This is just the beginning of the story for this adorable Cafe!



The calendar features beautiful illustrations and a robust calendar section. Included in each month are fun holidays important to nerd culture communities as well as other days of special international importance. Also included are days of importance like equinoxes and solstices and phases of the moon! The calendar measures 8.5 inch by 11 inch and comes spiral bound. The coloring book seen below is 8 inch by 10 inch and comes with perforated pages for easy removal and display!

We hired one of our favorite artists to create these beautiful pieces of art, capturing the very essence of different collectors and their unique collections. Abi Park, also known as The Nerdy Alchemist, enjoys books and art of all kinds but especially Lord of the Rings! She has poured hours of hard work into each adorable piece.

Please note that all images in this campaign are subject to minor changes. We will inform all backers of any major changes as we reveal the art for things like the Collector Notebook add-on, the Free Stickers achievement, and the Bookmarks add-on.

We are always looking for ways to help out and give back to the community. That's why we are so excited to announce we are donating 1 coloring book + supplies for every 10 pledges made to this campaign! Any and all pledges count toward this goal. All donations are going to our local UNC hospital as a way of alleviating some of the stress and fear that comes from extended hospital stays.

Edit


PLEASE NOTE: These are estimates only and each rate applies only to your pledge level. These rates are subject to changes depending upon shipping rates when the campaign ends. If you add any add-ons, your shipping might increase. IMPORTANT INFO - Shipping costs will be charged to you AFTER the campaign and SEPARATELY through your BackerKit survey.


All orders are shipped through USPS and come with tracking. International backers are responsible for their own countries VAT or import taxes/fees. We are just a small group of people who do not have a relationship with countries to cover VAT, GST, or other taxes and fees.

When shipping internationally we will make every effort to properly fill out customs forms. We will abide by your countries customs and shipping laws, which means we will denote the package value as the cost of your order, and mark this as merchandise. Please do not ask us to change the value of your package, or mark it as a gift. We are not responsible if your country holds your package and requires extra payment to release it.

LOCATIONS WE DO NOT SHIP TO: Afghanistan, Argentina, Belarus, Bhutan, Brazil, Brunei Darussalam, Chad, Cuba, Germany, Iran, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Libya, Mongolia, North Korea, Papua New Guinea, Peru, Russian Federation, South Sudan, Syrian Arab Republic, Timor-Leste, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Yemen. If you pledge from one of these countries, your order will be canceled and refunded.
Edit


PLEASE NOTE: Timeline is subject to change depending on fulfillment capabilities of printers and production partners. Our goal is to have a concise post-campaign so that we can quickly fulfill orders and ship them out. Please make sure you fill your surveys as soon as you receive them.

IMPORTANT DATES
NOVEMBER 30 - This is the date we hope to receive all items by. We will let you know if it changes.
JANUARY 31, 2024 - Surveys completed closed off, pledges are no longer guaranteed and are considered friendly donations
