Hello, friends! Happy October!
It’s currently overcast, chilly, and rainy… and I couldn’t ask for a cozier day. Currently, I’m enjoying a cup of blood orange tea (which I think is a fitting name for this spooky month), and getting started on typing this shop update. Peach (my cat), however, is trying her best to distract me by rubbing her cheek against my laptop. In the background, I’ve got The Great British Baking Show playing. My new favorite quote is “I won Star Caker in Bake Week.” :)
This shop update will be a bit on the smaller side…
This past month, I released my Spooky Season sticker sheet and Spooky Season 5x7 postcard art print. Also, Jessica from Tiny Deer Studio / The Pin Dept, had reached out to see if we could do another earring collaboration, this time with my cicada design (which is also available and you can purchase the earrings from her shop as well)! I also restocked a few items that were getting low/out of stock (Girl and Concha collaboration pin, Cat Nap pin, Camera pin).
For my Patreon Cafe Nook Club, I had drawn a brownstone postcard and fruit bat sticker for last month’s snail mail. I also included a tiny ghost sticker surprise (Boo!) to get Patrons pumped up for the Halloween festivities this month. Oh! Also, I changed the size of my postcard art prints to 5x7 so I had to order new custom envelopes (placing them next to the older envelopes for size comparison).
Note: If you’re interested in purchasing the postcard and sticker but don’t want to join the Croissant Tier (Snail Mail $10 tier), you can join the other tiers ($1 Cup of Coffee/Tea, $5 With Blueberry Muffin) to access the Patreon shop which includes extras of past exclusive sticker and postcard releases. You can also leave the Patreon Cafe Nook Club whenever you want (absolutely no pressure to stay in it at all 💛) and you will always have access to my Patreon shop :)
Some new items/work to look forward to:
Enamel Pins: Team Spirit, Pumpkin Teapot, Mushroom Mug, Literary Raven
October Patreon Snail Mail: Witches in a Cafe/Bakery Postcard & Sticker (haven’t decided what the sticker will be yet)
That’s all for now! I hope you get to soak in and enjoy every moment of October!
