Quick heads up! There are only TWO hours left to grab the Early Bird reward, which includes a FREE mini pin (you check it out below 👀).
The Early Bird option will end today at 1:00 PM EST, so if you’ve been on the fence, now’s the time to snag it before it disappears.
What's Next!
Honestly, with the upcoming snow storm, all I want to do is curl up, read, eat, and cross stitch… but instead I’ll be cozy-ing up at my desk and prepping new stalls to launch next week. ❄️📚🪡
💘 The Yearning Stall Update 💘
The Yearning Stall is almost complete! There’s one more standard-sized pin design still to come (hint: think love machine 💗), plus 2–3 more tiny trinkets that will be added this weekend. This stall is really coming together, and I can’t wait to share the final pieces with you.
✨ Next Stall Opening: The Magic Menagerie ✨
By popular demand in the poll results, the next stall to open will be The Magic Menagerie! This stall will feature fantasy-inspired pins, pulling from magical creatures, whimsical details, and storybook vibes. If you love a little magic mixed into your reading life, this one’s for you.
Thank you all for voting, sharing feedback, and helping shape the direction of this campaign. Your input truly guides what comes next, and I’m so excited to keep unlocking more together.
💬 I’d Love Your Input

🖤 A Quick Dystopian Romance Aside 🖤
A small personal note while we’re talking genres: dystopian romance is hands-down my absolute favorite romance genre, and there’s just not nearly enough of it. We’ve got plenty of contemporary, historical, fantasy, paranormal, monster, and even sentient-object romance (truly, no shade. I've read Pounded by Produce, iykyk)… but truedystopian romance feels rarer, even though dystopian fiction itself is everywhere (and honestly, you can just look out a window in the U.S. right now 🙃).
In the last six months alone, I’ve read four dystopian romances and loved every single one. If you’re a romance reader curious about the genre—or already deep in it—these are highly recommended:
Conform by Ariel Sullivan
To Cage a Wild Bird by Brooke Fast
This Safe Darkness by Alexis Maragold - (releases Feb 17 — I’m currently reading an ARC and I am obsessed)
Silver Elite by Dani Francis
While there isn’t a stall dedicated specifically to dystopian romance as a genre, there may be a dystopian-themed pin that bridges dystopian and fantasy vibes making an appearance in The Magic Menagerie. I couldn’t resist sneaking one in.
💖 Wrapping Up 💖
Thank you all so much for the excitement, votes, and thoughtful comments. I love seeing what you’re drawn to, and it truly helps guide what comes next.
More stalls, new designs, and a little magic (maybe with a hint of dystopia) are coming very soon. As always, thank you for being here and supporting this project—it means the world. ✨📚
