I just sent out the survey to everyone. Please fill it out as soon as you can so I can get my counts and start ordering all of the designs. If you still need to fix your credit card, please do that ASAP so I can get the survey sent out to you. If you don't fix your card or fill out your survey, you won't receive any of your pins or the slew of free rewards which is a bummer!
There is only one new additional design for a cutie book design. This is a limited edition pin and I'll only make as many that are ordered!
If you missed out on pledging during the campaign, the preorder store will be open for about 2 weeks. It will only be open a short time so I can make sure I get all the correct counts to order for the designs. Visit the preorder store here!
You'll also see a question in the survey about my next campaign that is launching on March 29th: A Gothic Revival. Please let me know what kinds of designs you'd like to see in this gothic, vampiric campaign. I've been designing up a storm for it and I'm thrilled with how it's coming together.
Thank you all so much again for your support on this campaign! I'm so excited to get all of these pins made.

Hello my fellow literary lovers! Thank you all so much for making our first Pintopia campaign such a success. We raised over $15k to make this my most successful Backerkit campaign so far. ALL levels were unlocked, so you'll be able to have your pick of the litter in your survey.
I'm already about halfway through creating the survey, so you'll receive that in about a week or so. I give at least a week so credit card charges can all go through. Almost everyone has been charged already; if you have a failed payment, please make sure to update your credit card payment ASAP so I can get the survey to you and get these pins ordered! After the survey goes out in about a week, I'd love to close out the survey a week/10 days after that so I can order pins right as the factories open back up after the Lunar New Year.
Our next campaign is a continuation of our previous Victorian Villages campaign, but with smaller pins added as well! You'll be able to create a cozy autumn village or a haunted spooky village in this iteration. Along with the different buildings, we will also have accompanying accessory pins ranging from .75' to 1.25" so really flesh out your villages. We'll have potions, creatures, bookish items, Halloween and more!
We're partnering up with our friend Stina of Laserbrain with her campaign Space Witch. We'll both be offering a FREE full-size pin for those who successfully pledge to both of our campaigns. Follow her project here!
For this campaign I'll be offering: 👻Free pin for pre-launch followers 🍂Freebie for Early Backers 👻Freebie for Return Backers 🍂Free pin for Cross-Collab backers
If you're in the NYC area and attending Bookcon at the Javits Center, swing by booth #1327 to see me! I'll be vending and have some special limited edition pins, stickers, claw clips and more. Bookcon is April 18-19 and should be a really fun time. Please say hi if you're attending!
That's all for now. Be on the lookout for a survey for Books & Banter in about a week or so and please just fix any credit card errors this week so I can make sure you get your survey. Thank you all again for the continuous support!

Hooray, there's just a day left of the campaign! Thank you again for all the support. I have decided to unlock the last stretch goal (because I want to make them) as long as the campaign stays above $15k pledged. So you'll be able to get the heart locket of your favorite hockey couple or the hot cocoa society teacup in the survey!
I've already starting proofing all of the pin artwork with my manufacturer so I can get things rolling. Here's some of the proofs and a fun 3D rendering for the heart locket!
I'm preparing the survey now so I can hopefully get that out to you all very quickly post-campaign conclusion as well. I'm moving fast because I'm just really thrilled to get these designs into your hands, so thank you for liking the art and being excited about the designs!

There's 6 days left of the campaign - time flies! I have TWO new stretch goal variant designs for you that I'm hoping we can unlock if we hit $16k in pledges!
We have one premium and one standard variant. The premium pin features two hockey players close to my heart in the 3D molded metal locket design. The standard pin features a suggestion from you all - for those bookish individuals who prefer a steaming mug of hot cocoa!
I would love to get these variants unlocked to include them in the post-campaign survey for you all, so please share the campaign! I've been working already on picking all the pantone colors and effects so I can get these designs into production ASAP.

Overnight, we have unlocked TWO more levels and have almost reached the end of all of our stretch goals! Now unlocked:
With these two levels unlocked, we have only ONE stretch goal remaining to unlock. Once we hit $15k raised we unlock two bookish buildings AND a freebie mini pin for all backers!
Once again, I can't thank you all enough for the support on this campaign. Make sure if you haven't pledged yet and are interested to pledge before 1pm ET/10am PT to get the free rainbow book cover pin!
I've attached a new poll below for a possible stretch goal as we still have a whopping 19 days left of this campaign and we've already unlocked almost everything in the campaign. If you have specific ideas you'd like to see, please leave a comment here or on the poll. I always love to hear suggestions!
There are also a lot of new names here, so I figured I'd do a little intro post so you know more about the artist behind this campaign. My name is Nikki, I'm born and raised in northern New Jersey and I live here with my husband and my three rescue cats named Meatloaf, Lily and Ruby. During the day I work in a baseball museum where I've been for almost 14 years; I have my Masters degree in Museum Professions. I've been creating enamel pins since 2017 when I started Sunset Road. In my spare time I love to read, travel, and craft. My favorite music genre is pop-punk specifically from the Drive-Thru records era and I go to a lot of concerts, you can often find me in Walt Disney World, and I most likely will have an iced coffee in my hands 80% of my awake hours.
