Welcome to the Pin Pals Go to Work project. This is an enamel pin collection of cute animals living the best of their lives in a cozy town while running their own shops. Take a glimpse of how they run their day-to-day life through these pins. Adorable critters clocking in โ€” one pin at a time!

I'm also offering a FREE sticker for anyone who makes a pledge within the first 48 hours!

Hello! My name is Daria, and I go by milkbun online. I'm a graphic designer and illustrator with a love for creating cute things, especially foods and animals. 

Over the years I've made close to a hundered pins so I am excited to share my new collection with everyone! Getting to design so many cute items and tiny round beings is always a fun experience. This is my first project on Backerkit though I have run 2 other hugely successful pin campaigns on Kickstarter (Wooden Charcuterie Board and Potions & Spirits).

Explore my store at milkbun.com or find me here on all social media platforms.

This project features enamel pins of 3 hardworking Cozy Town shop owners. 

๐ŸŸข The Duck family runs the local Bakery and make fresh baked goods every morning.
Everyone works better when they're full of carbs!

๐ŸŸข The Capybara family run a productive Vegetable Farm and haul their wares to the Veggie Stall.
Our animal friends need to stay healthy too!

๐ŸŸข The Apothecary is run by a skilled Mouse who helps everyone from little paper cuts to yucky tummy issues.
He's amazing at making herbal remedies like salves, powders and potions.

The project's initial goal of $1250 will unlock our three animals happily heading off to work to start their busy day. Pick one, pick two or even collect the whole set! After the initial goal, unlock new pin designs and more featuring our town animals!

I've been designing and manufacturing enamel pins for the past 10 years in crowdfunding campaigns, my online shop and freelance. I'm working with a manufacturer whom I've worked with previous times and is reliable when it comes to making high quality pins. I'll be checking all pins before I ship them to make sure the integrity is high with no scratches, discoloration or any other flaws.
