🎉 What We Made Together

Collaboration makes everything more fun.

Edit

Your best friend in 6th grade… Your college roommate… The best man at your wedding… We all know that familiar, bittersweet taste left behind by old friends — connections we wish we could’ve held onto before they were lost to time and distance.

Rainy Day Atelier’s newest pin collection is inspired by that nostalgic desire to reconnect, to reach out and tell them that wherever they are, you hope they’re happy…

…and that maybe, they’re still thinking of you too.
Edit

Once the project is funded at $1,000, the first pin — Thinking of You — will be unlocked, along with all the add-ons you can find in the Add-On section. But there are still 5 more pins to unlock after that as stretch goals as the campaign continues to gain support!

Early Bird Sticker Pack

If you pledge in the first 48 hours, you get a FREE pack of stickers featuring the pin designs! Don’t worry if you miss your chance — the stickers will also be available for purchase as an add-on.





Edit


A set of 5 mini pins and 4 original memo pad designs will be available as soon as the first pin design is unlocked, too!




Edit


All shipping and VAT/tax fees will be charged separately, AFTER the campaign, during pledge management. The prices below are estimates. Actual shipping prices will be determined after production is finished and we are prepping to ship rewards. If you select additional physical rewards to your order, your shipping cost may increase.

Estimated shipping costs, subject to weight.

$10-15 USA
$20-25 Canada/Mexico/UK
$30-35 Australia/New Zealand
$25-30 Everywhere Else*

*Note: We are not shipping physical rewards to the EU at this time due to GSPR requirements.

Combined Shipping Discount

If you back all 3 projects from the Summertime Nostalgia collab event, you will automatically be opted in to combined shipping and receive your rewards from all 3 projects in the same package. This allows us to reduce shipping label costs and pass those savings off to you! The discount will be added to your order during the survey. Additionally, the option to opt out of combined shipping will be provided in the survey.

We’re Lee Evans, two queer creatives in a trench coat running our creative studio Rainy Day Atelier. Our primary focus is putting our characters into situations through our self-published comics, but we like to dabble in creating original designs for pins and other merch!

With any project, there are always the possibility of unexpected delays or issues that can occur due to manufacturing mistakes, shipping delays, and/or quality control problems. We will do all that we can to troubleshoot these issues and communicate in a timely manner when they occur so we can get rewards out as soon as is feasible.

There is also the chance that not all designs will get funded in the campaign, in which case only the funded designs will be available for purchase. If the project is not funded at all, then you will NOT be charged.

Each pin we send out will be “Standard Grade”. This means there will be only minor imperfections, if any at all. We will do our best, but if for any reason you are not satisfied with any of your pledge rewards, please contact us through BackerKit and we will work with you to find a resolution.

During the production phase, some designs or colors may need to be adjusted in the process. If any major changes occur, we will make sure to post updates and communicate with you all with enough time for you to make any changes to your order if necessary.

If any rewards arrive damaged, please reach out to us via BackerKit with photos and we will work with you to resolve it.

We are simply two human beings trying to make art to share with the world, and sometimes Life has other plans for us. We will endeavor to communicate early and often when any delays or problems occur, but please be considerate and kind when these things happen. A bit of kindness goes a long way. 💙



Welcome to Summertime Nostalgia, a wistful (re)collection of sun bleached memories, memorialized into enamel pins. Dive into 3 projects with each artist's unique take on the collective theme and explore the gentle sweetness of recalling the past.

Purchase from all 3 projects and receive a free pin banner to display your trinkets and a discount on shipping!*

* The shipping discount only applies to people who back all three projects and agree to receive rewards from all projects in one package. This allows us to reduce shipping label costs and pass those savings to you! Discount will be reflected in the post-campaign survey.
