Hey everyone!

The Yearning Stall is officially complete 💘 You can check out all of the finished pin designs below!

For the trinkets in this stall, I currently opted for two romance genre hearts. I wanted to keep this first round focused, but in the future I’d love to expand this idea and add more genres like sports romance, fantasy, contemporary, dark romance, and beyond. This is definitely a concept I plan to grow with future projects.

A side note: The Yearning Stall was very intentionally kept focused on soft romance and love-forward vibes — the longing, tenderness, and emotional pull that make romance hit so hard. While romance and smut often live in the same books, I made the decision to reserve anything explicitly spicy for The Smut Peddler, which will be a stall solely devoted to smut.

This stall is all about fantasy-inspired pins, and you can expect to see those designs start showing up over the next few days.

I could use the first poll to decide which stall opens after Magic Menagerie — but for fun (and because we now have more backers than we did at launch), I’ve added a brand-new poll to this update. I’d love for you to vote and help decide which stall will come next.

As always, thank you for being here and for helping shape this project with me 💖

 More soon!
