Project Update: SURVEYS ARE OUT! Please complete by April 5th! 🍡🌿

Hello all!

The smoke tests went very well, and I'm thrilled to announce that surveys have all been sent out! Please check your emails and ensure you fill out your survey as soon as possible.

I will be locking orders and charging cards on Saturday, April 5th. Your order choices will be locked, but you will still be able to adjust address details until fulfillment begins! The sooner everyone fills out and submits their surveys, the sooner production can begin. I cannot stress this enough, please do your survey ASAP.

A VERY IMPORTANT REMINDER that, if you do not complete your surveys, I CANNOT ship your items to you. If you complete the survey late (after production has begun), you risk missing out on your preferred rewards. Late survey rewards will be subject to availability, and without guarantees. You must fill out your survey to completion & submit it in order for it to count.

Now that the surveys have gone out 'n been announced, I have something else to share! In my last update, I promised to share photos of the stickers! They came out exactly how I'd hoped they would, and I just love them all so much. I can't even begin to pick a favorite.


That's really it for now! Thank you all so much for the love on this project. In the meantime, take care, and I'll see you in the next update!

Project Update: SURVEY SMOKE TESTS ARE OUT 🐸🍡✨

Hello everyone!

Thank you so much for your patience while I get the surveys set up and smoke tests sent out! I'd talked about it briefly on my Instagram (mostly via status updates, as I haven't had any energy to keep up on posting to social media as a result of this) but, to update everyone here, I slipped on some ice and sustained a rough lower back injury at the end of February. I've spent the last three weeks recovering from it, and I want to thank anyone who'd reached out to wish me a speedy recovery. I'm back up and moving again, just trying to take things slow! We're still on track with the given timeline and, if anything changes, I'll let you all know as soon as I can!

I still worked when I could while I was recovering, it was just pretty slow moving! With the help of my husband, surveys were finalized. I ordered all of the campaign stickers, as well as plenty of extras, and they are gorgeous! Expect sticker photos in the next update! I've also formatted and sent files over to my pin manufacturer. Once we're at roughly 80% of the surveys being filled out, I'll place the pin order (this will also be when I lock orders/charge cards, but not addresses, as addresses will lock closer to fulfillment time). Please fill out your surveys as soon as possible. I'll post another update once we get a handful of smoke tests in/once I send out the rest of the surveys, and then I'll update once I start to lock orders and charge cards!

A reminder that, if you do not complete your surveys, I CANNOT ship your items to you. If you complete the survey late (after production has begun), you risk missing out on your preferred rewards. Late survey rewards will be subject to availability, and without guarantees. You must fill out your survey to completion & submit it in order for it to count.

That's really it for this little update. Again, thank you for your patience and for all of the kindness you've given me! I'm so fortunate to have such incredible backers and such a kind community, you're all seriously the best.

Project Update: WE DID IT!!! What happens next? 🌿✨

Hello everyone πŸΈπŸ’š


Thank you for the patience! I wanted to delay this post a bit since I knew there would be a lot of similar emails going out post-Pintopia. Bear with me for this big update!

The campaign was an incredible success, and I want to thank all of you so very much for bringing Pond's Teahouse & Gardens to life! In the first hour, we reached our initial funding goal, and by the end of the campaign we were 572% funded! That's absolutely awe-inspiring. Every single design was unlocked! Thank you so, so much for making this happen. I'm beyond thrilled! 



What's next?


BackerKit has, at this point, already started to charge cards for pledges, and on my side I can see that a majority of charges have gone through already. There are currently 16 failed payments, so be sure to double-check that yours was collected successfully! If your initial payment fails, you have until the 27th to fix it (some folks have had to call their banks, some folks have had to edit/pretend to edit payment info to get cards to retry, solutions vary a lot person-to-person)! You should get an email when your pledge is collected or if it failed, so be sure to check there as well.

If payments are not fixed by the 27th, those pledges will be dropped from the campaign! After that point, the failed pledges will be processed as cancelled, and these folks will lose out on their pins, add-ons, early bird goodies & early bird/campaign discounts, freebies, so on so forth. We don't want this to happen, so please make sure you double-check your pledges! You all supported this campaign so fiercely and I really want to make sure these rewards can make it to all who pledged! 



⚠️ ABOUT SURVEYS - PLEASE READ ⚠️


SURVEYS WILL BE SENT NEAR THE END OF MARCH (UPDATED 3/14/25, surveys delayed as I've been recovering from a lower back injury)! This is how you will pick your desired design(s), add any additional items you might've missed during the campaign, and this is how you will be able to pay for shipping! A reminder that, if you do NOT complete your survey, I CANNOT ship your items to you. If you complete the survey late (after production has begun), you risk missing out on your preferred rewards. Late survey rewards will be subject to availability, and without guarantees. You must fill out your survey to completion & submit it in order for it to count.



That's it for now! The next update I post will be once surveys begin to go out. Thank you all so, so much again for making this happen!

Project Update: FINAL 48 HOURS! Everything is unlocked & NEW FREEBIE! 🐸🍡🌿

Hello everyone! I have some incredible news, as well as a little announcement ✨

THERE ARE LESS THAN TWO (2) DAYS LEFT OF THE CAMPAIGN, and EVERYTHING IS FULLY FUNDED AND UNLOCKED! The Field Notes Hinged Enamel Pin design just unlocked and is now available as a pledge level and add-on, so be sure to grab yours πŸ’šβœ¨

The Field Notes hinged enamel pin unlocked at $5,000! It is now available as a pledge level and add-on!


I have another announcement for you! I really wanted to give back to the folks that have pledged to the campaign, so I've made a cute sticker as thanks for helping bring Pond's Teahouse & Gardens to life! One of these Tea Party stickers will be included for FREE with every order, and extras can be purchased as add-ons!

A cute sticker featuring Pond the magical frog and Sorrel the little mushroom gardener!


And, lastly, I want to shout-out my collab partner, Amber & Moss, and her campaign Doily! I'm so lucky to have such a sweet collab partner with such a cute project to match the Teahouse and Gardens so perfectly! Here's a FINAL REMINDER to back both of our campaigns and receive both freebie collab pins shown below ✨



Thank you so much, again, for your the overwhelming love and support for Pond's Teahouse & Gardens! Let's finish strong, only two days left to go!

Hello ✨

I figured I'd make a discussion post for anyone interested in joining us for livestreams! Right now, the plan is going to be:

2/4 @ 2pm EST: Pintopia Project Live Discussion & AMA
- This is hosted by Aimee Cozza Illustration (creator of the Positronic Visions pin collection), and I am just one of several Pintopia creators joining in on the fun! We'll be going through our projects, answering questions, and I actually plan to have a few small reveals for folks that join us for the fun!

2/7 @ 6pm EST: Pintopia ACNH Livestream!
- This is hosted by yours truly, and there will be guest appearances from a handful of lovely Pintopia creators with this one as well! We'll be relaxing, playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons together, chatting about projects, and hanging out with you all!

I am SO excited for these! Let me know if there's anything in particular that you'd like to know! Do you have questions for Pond, our cute and magical froggy friend? We all hope to see you there! 🍡✨
