Happy Sunday all!

I am so excited to have you all on this quest with me as I venture into the wilds of enamel pins. I can't believe we've unlocked our first stretch goal and we are closing in on the next goal!

Speaking of unlocked goals, the votes are in and by a pretty clear margin (from the very start), "Books Are My Shield" led the pack. So we have now added this design to our collection!

So, now it's time to make your voice heard again and vote for which design we'll unlock at $3,500. As a reminder, you can share the campaign with friends and anyone else who loves pins to get us over the next hurdle.

Again, I'm so excited to be on this journey with you and I can't wait to share the lore behind the next design in a couple of days.

Less than six hours in and we've already funded! I'll be honest, coming into Pintopia, I wasn't sure what to expect. It's my first swag-focused campaign and I am beyond thrilled that we've reached this goal already!

That means we can turn our sights to making this thing even more fun. Here's how:

Speaking of stretch goals, when we hit $2,500, we'll unlock that second pin design! I can't wait to see how high we soar and which design you all pick first.

Also, throughout the campaign, I'll be sharing some fun stuff about each of the pins and what it represents. Until then, adventure on!

Every story has a beginning and this one is no different. When I set out to craft a series around the question of "What if Morgan le Fey was the rightful heir to Camelot", I knew that one of the hallmarks of Arthurian lore--Excalibur--would be front and center to the narrative.

You might say that Excalibur is there right from the start, even if Morgan isn't entirely aware of it. Her magic is weak in this world and she doesn't consider herself much of a witch. Until she crosses the barrier into the realm of Camelot and her power returns tenfold. Proving herself both a worthy witch and the rightful heir to the throne leads her right into the heart of the kingdom and the famed magical blade. It is said that it will only obey a true Pendragon. Passed down for centuries from parent to child, it knows its true master by the magic in their blood. For every pendragon had shed blood on the blade. If Morgan stands a chance of reclaiming what's hers, she'll have to prove herself to the people and to Excalibur itself. When united with it's proper owner, the sword can lend extraordinary power and focus. In a sense, it makes the wielder fierce.

When I was deciding on what quote to pair with Excalibur, this one just stood out to me. When I read fantasy tales, i find myself emboldened by the magic within the pages and the antics of the heroes and heroines I'm reading about. It gives me a sense that I can be brave, too with fantasy and magic on my side. And thus, when we crossed the 100% funded threshold this pin became available to all backers who resonate with the message.

As a reminder, you'll have a chance to pick your pins at the survey stage. Until next time, adventure on magic seekers!
