hi everyone ! just a quick update on those final few backers waiting <3 i have gotten the remake pins in and will begin grading and shipping out the final orders this month ! please keep an eye out for shipping confirmations and thank you so much for your patience i cant wait to get these pins to you 🖤
hi everyone ! i'm happy to report shipping is ALMOST complete ! however... it was a struggle to find A grades for a lot of the designs : ( our manufacturer really went downhill all of a sudden... so we are reaching out now to have two designs remade : loving thoughts (pansies) and hopeless love (yellow tulips). I've completed all US based orders and have about 28 orders left that are international. international orders take longer to fulfill as i have to input the customs info for each parcel individually. I have a very small amount left of the two designs being reordered so i will do SOME international orders but after that i will have to wait on the remakes to be done. We are still ahead of schedule on shipping and hopefully the new pins will be completed before our original deadline 🙏
I will be dropping off the completed orders this week i hope you all have been enjoying getting your pins if you have already and let me know if you have any issues with your order. you can reach out to me at [email protected] 🖤
hi everyone ! not a ton to report but we're about halfway through shipping ! it's taking a while since there are a LOT of pins to grade on top of my normal work load but we are still ahead of schedule and doing good 😊 i am also still waiting on some remakes of pins that had a high defect rate so i will not be able to completely finish fulfillment until i have those. hoping the last few designs i grade have enough, i'll keep everyone updated thank you ! keep an eye out for shipping confirmation emails they should be coming from pirateship !
hi everyone ! so i have most designs now in my hands other than unrequited love (daffodils). i have a ton of pins to grade right now so it's a bit slow getting through them all but i will be shipping out as things are graded. some bad news, the pins are not all the best quality, i have a lot of B grades this round, so far i do not have enough secret love (gardenia) to fill all orders, so we will be reaching out to our manufacturer to remake those pins for us. luckily we are ahead of schedule so this shouldn't effect things too much. the first 30 orders will be dropped off at the post office today 🖤
important note ! if your order should include the free collaboration pins from jaizure and I, you will be receiving that pin with your "girls love girls" order, NOT your bouquet order so please don't worry if you don't see that pin in your parcel, it will get to you later !
hi everyone ! great news ! i have a handful of designs now in my possession, this isn't the full batch as my manufacturer is trying to get as many pins to me as they can before the tariffs kick in. however, so far i have at least some of: romance (pink peonies), first love's feelings (lilac), secret love (gardenia), enduring love (wisteria) i love you (red roses) and hopeless love (yellow tulips).
this means i will be locking orders in ONE WEEK. please check out your survey and make sure you have everything you like added. you will be charged for any add-ons you included after the campaign ended, as well as the cost of shipping so please be sure your payment information is up to date.
it will take me a bit of time to grade all the pins but i will grade and fulfill as i go. we are doing great timeline wise and i'm excited to get these pins to you !
loving thoughts (pansies), devotion (peruvian lilies) and the collaboration pin have gone into production. the unrequited love (daffodils) pin is just about ready to go into production as well. as a majority of orders do include the collaboration pin i won't be ale to get most of them out yet but i will at least do what i can thanks everyone 🖤
hi everyone ! i got the samples in for the last few pins so here are some photos:
a note for the unrequited love pin • the glitter will be more sparse in the final version, waiting for a remake of this sample ! fated love and loving thoughts are looking great now, loving thoughts as well as the preorder restocks will be going into production tomorrow.
we have some exciting news too ! the red roses pin, "i love you" and the peony pin "romance" have completed production and will be on their way soon ! once the pins are here i will quality check and grade them and then i will begin locking orders, i will make another update later when we are closer to that time but it would be a great time for everyone to go over their surveys and double check they have everything they'd like in their carts !
so far we are ahead of schedule i'm really excited to start fulfillment on these ! 💐
hey guys just a quick update with some nicer photos taken by jaizure of the samples so far 🖤 if you would like to switch your selections or add any of these on you can do so through your backerkit survey ! find the link [HERE] .
great news ! most of the samples for the campaign have been completed ! here are some photos from the manufacturer:
most of the samples are perfect ! for some reason the recessed metal on unrequited love's arm is nickel rather than gold so that will need to be fixed, the chain on the fated love pin is also incorrect. both of these should be easy fixes though so we are moving along nicely ! how do you like them so far ? 🖤
if you haven't yet please make sure you get to your surveys soon ! i will need to know how many of each item to order and we are still waiting on a little under 70 backers at the moment.
we have also unlocked some of the pins in the preorder shop so if you were waiting to add them to your cart now is the time !
we did it everyone ! just one shy of 400 backers wow ! thank you so so much for making this campaign a success 🖤 here's what to expect next:
if you are a backer, i have setup surveys and sent my project in for review, this can take a couple days to be reviewed by backerkit and as it's over the weekend and a holiday weekend it may take a little bit longer.
once my review is done and everything is approved i will be sending out smoke tests. a smoke test is when a small amount of surveys go out to random backers. this helps catch any issues before the majority of people get them.
if all goes well, the remaining surveys will go out within 24-48 hours. this entire process should take about a week.
i will post an update about all of this as it goes along, please keep an eye out for those !
if you did not back in time and would like to get any of the rewards from this campaign, you can still preorder them for a limited time via my preorder store. there's also some other pins i'm hoping to restock in the preorder store (these will also be available as add ons to backers). each item has a sale goal, if that goal is met the item will be ordered and sent to you. if it is not, your order will be cancelled or that item will be removed from your cart. please DO DOT order from the preorder store if you are a backer, you can add additional items onto your pledge through your survey ! thank you !
thank you again everyone for the successful campaign ! we are in our final 24 hours so just a reminder please double check your pledges and make sure you're happy with your choices and that your payment information is up to date 🖤
i have been working behind the scenes to get the backend of things all setup so i will hopefully be able to send surveys out very quickly if all goes well ! i will make a separate update when those go out so you know to check !
if you haven't pledged yet here is your final chance, thank you again everyone you are wonderful 💐
welcome our new stretch goal ! loving thoughts, features multiple colors of pansies which represent loving thoughts and remembrance 🖤 this pin was originally sketched out as part of the collection but i felt a little weird having her be the only lady, well i decided to add her anyways since we are doing so well 🥺 this pin unlocks at $14000USD but you can help us unlock her early by adding her to your pledge as an add on or upgrading your current pledge !
in other news, my cross collaboration partner, jaizure, also has a new stretch goal, check out her campaign girls love girls and this beautiful new pin yin and yang 🖤
remember, pledging to both campaigns gets you a FREE collar pin, i hope we can both unlock these new goals, thank you all for your support 🖤
