Hi friends!

I hope you’re all doing well! I’m currently drinking a cup of herbal tea… it has a medley of flowers and herbs (chamomile, peppermint, spearmint, lavender, lemon verbena, and rose petals). It's really lovely and kinda perfect for Spring!

I usually send out this newsletter at the beginning of each month but I thought of changing things up a bit! I hope you don’t mind :). I also send out a separate monthly newsletter to my Patrons at the beginning of each month and while I try my best to make each one unique, it can be a little difficult to avoid overlapping them. So, to keep things refreshing (hopefully, haha), I’ll be emailing you my monthly comic/shop update on the 15th of every month.

This month’s comic for my zine is about all the bookshops I visited in Vermont last summer. I’m sure you’ve been in my shoes before… you plan to get one or two books but then you leave the shop with more than you can actually carry.

These days, I’ve been stopping by my local library to borrow some books and it helps me get through them faster since I have a due date, haha.

10% DISCOUNT CODE FOR YOU: HELLO10

I’ll be offering a one-time discount code for new people who sign up to my mailing list and since you’ve already signed up, I wanted to offer it to you first. The discount code is HELLO10

LEFTOVER PATREON POSTCARDS & STICKERS

NOW IN THE SHOP

I recently decided to move some older leftover Patreon postcards and stickers to my main shop (partly to make sure that my inventory doesn’t grow too much 😅). Patrons will still always have early access to the remaining inventory of past Patreon postcard and sticker releases for 3 months (so timed exclusivity for every tier). After 3 months, any work unsold in the Patreon shop will be included in my main shop and be available for everyone. Patreon postcards and stickers will always be limited and won’t be restocked once they’re sold out. 💛

FOR MY PATREON CAFE NOOK CLUB…

Last month, I drew a tea shop postcard filled with cats and an owl sticker. I also included my new freebie bookmark featuring my caffeinated sandpiper which I’ll include in future orders (once I go through my bookish frog bookmarks since I still have quite a few left).
