Hello everyone, hope all is well

Just a quick update from the Apothecary desk: Charging cards will happen on May 3rd! 

If you’ve been meaning to update your payment method, now is the time to double-check everything is good to go.

Thank you so much for your continued support and patience as we bring Apotheca to life. Your stickers, pins, and treasures are lining up beautifully!

May your vials stay full and your spells never fizzle,

Hello everyone,
Hope all is well in your corner of the world!

🍃 Fresh from the Apothecary’s workbench, we’re thrilled to reveal the official Apotheca Sticker Sheets, plus the Returning Backers and Grand Maester Exclusive Stickers — and they came out sooo cute!!

🍃 Quick Heads-Up:
We’ll be locking orders soon!
You can still update your shipping address if needed — no worries, just make sure it’s ready before we seal the scrolls. 📜✈️

Thank you all again for being part of this journey through the Apotheca!
May your ingredients stay fresh and your cauldrons never boil over. 🌿

— Jen

Greetings, Maesters!
I hope this message finds you well, with herbs stocked up and potions brewing.

🍃 Pledge Updates

A huge thank-you to everyone who has completed their surveys—you're helping everything run like clockwork! Only three Maesters are still missing in action, but not to worry emails have been sent so that no one is left behind. I'll be locking orders soon since production is underway and payments need to be done. We need to exchange the moneys for the pin nutrients 😆 You'll still be able to update your shipping address afterward in case life takes you on an unexpected journey.

🍃 Production Updates
 
Exciting news! The pins are currently in the color matching and mold setup stage with the manufacturer. I can't wait to see them come to life. Meanwhile, the sticker sheets are already on their way home. As soon as they arrive, I’ll share some behind-the-scenes photos for you all! 🥰

🍃 Smoke Test & Surveys
Smoke test seems to be a success so I will be rolling out the surveys for all of you today.
If you have any questions don't hesitate to reach out at [email protected] or on Instagram @elmtree.studio. I also just created a Bluesky account: @elmtreestudio.bsky.social—if you're on the platform, let’s connect! ✨ 

🍃 Failed Payments & Pledges

Payments have been processed, but 7 pledges have failed. If your payment didn't go through, Backerkit will send you an email with instructions. You can also check your Backerkit account dashboard to update your payment details. Backerkit will attempt to charge you again automatically.

Here’s a helpful article on updating your payment.

Happy Surveys ✨

The smoke test surveys have officially left the imaginary building! 🎉
Once those are completed and everything checks out, the full surveys will be sent to everyone, allowing you to select your pins, add-ons, and extras.

🍃 Design Updates: The Universal Shop Banner
A wonderful suggestion was brought to our attention regarding the Shop Banner—and we absolutely love it!

Becoming a shop owner in Apotheca is a journey of creativity and self-expression, shaped by language, culture, and personal vision. To honor this, we’ve created the Universal Shop Banner, allowing every Apotheca member to name their shop in the language and style of their choice.

We all come from different corners of the world, and that diversity is a treasure worth celebrating. ✨

I’d love to hear from you—what will you name your Apotheca shop? Drop a comment and share your vision!
