Hello my friends and happy Spring!

I'm thrilled to let you know that the last of the pins are shipping this week. My manufacturer had to remake a bunch of the snowglobe style shaker pins as we wanted them to be perfect, and they definitely take a lot longer to manufacture as opposed to standard metal pins. They are packaging them up now and shipping them this week, so I'm hoping I can start shipping out orders starting the second week of April.

Thank you all for your patience while we waited! I have had the rest of the pins in-hand for over a month and a half, but most of your orders included pins from the other factory I use and I like to ship out a campaign together instead of piece meal.

If you're in the NYC area next month, come see me at Bookcon from April 18-19 at the Javits Center! I'll have a booth in Hall 1A and I'd be thrilled if you came and said hi.

A Gothic Revival launches this Sunday and I'm so excited! This campaign will have a ton of coordinating enamel pins to create the gothic and vampiric campaign of my dreams. Follow now to get a free mini pin, and get TWO free full size pins from myself and my partner Space Witch if you successfully back both of our projects!

That's all for now - I'll make another update once shipping commences!

Pins are nearing completion! I received some news from my other manufacturer about the remaining pins. The window and lantern pins are all done, and the snowglobe style shaker pins are almost done. They have to fix the acrylic on some of them, so they will remake those pins after their well-deserved holiday for the Lunar New Year. Both of my manufacturers are perfectionists, so they are taking their time making sure each pin is up to their standard for quality. But here is a picture of the shaker pins!

I can't wait to see them in person. For further pin picture updates, follow me on Instagram @sunsetroadco where I update way more frequently so I don't overwhelm you all on Backerkit. We're still on track to ship out this campaign towards the end of March hopefully. I didn't want to rush these pins because of how complicated they are with the enamel, acrylic, and liquid components so I told my manufacturer to take her time making sure they are completely correct.

We are in the last 2 days of our current Pintopia campaign, Books & Banter! I've already started proofing designs with one of my manufacturers so I can get pins ordered ASAP. Make sure to get your pledges in before it ends as I won't be ordering too many extras! Here's a proof for two of the book designs:

I have another campaign on the horizon, a continuation of my Village series called Autumn Villages! Launching March 29th, this campaign will once again offer two variants of our build-you-own enamel pin village: Cozy Autumn and Spooky Fall. We'll also have a bunch of smaller "accessory" pins ranging from .75" to 1.25" to accessorize your pin village. Follow along early to receive a free pin for pre-launch followers, and ANOTHER free pin for early bird backers!

Okay that was a lot! Thanks so much for sticking through to the end.  TLDR; lots of updates and fun pins in production and on the horizon!

Hooray! I got a gigantic 30 pound box in the mail yesterday before the snowstorm here in New Jersey. About 75% of the pins from Celestial Cottagecore are already in hand: this delivery had the hourglasses, all of the cloche designs, the zodiac books, the celestial animals and the mini pins. Still in production are the lantern bookstacks, the ombre gradient windows and the snowglobe style shaker pins as they are a bit more complicated and with my other manufacturer. But we are ahead of the game and have a ton of stuff in hand for me to quality check.

Here are some pictures! These are in natural light at my front door as there is already almost 10 inches of snow outside and not stopping anytime soon.

I'm incredibly pleased with them all! The glitters and pearls really pop against the clear epoxy on the cloches. I'm so proud of this collection.

Our Pintopia campaign, Books & Banter, is still going strong! So far it is our most successful Backerkit campaign and it's only been a few days. If you're into bookish designs, please check it out! We only have one level left to unlock!

That's all for now - I'm not sure I'll have the other pins before the factories take a well deserved break for Lunar New Year in February. But any updates I get from them I will share with you here and on Instagram. Follow me @sunsetroadco for more frequent communication and pictures of my cats!

We have some of the Celestial Cottagecore pins shipping out this week! I have two manufacturers working on these designs; the manufacturer that received the designs for all the cloche and hourglass pins have finished up and they are being sent to me this week. The other manufacturer is still working on the gradient and snowglobe shaker style pins which are a bit more complicated, but we are still very ahead of schedule for fulfillment!

Here are some awful manufacturer pictures of some of the completed pins shipping out:

Manufacturer pictures are notoriously awful but they are looking great and I can't wait to see them in person!

Last chance to follow our bookish campaign launching this week to get a FREE mini pin for pre-launch followers - also you can get another free pin for backing in the first 48 hours! I am so excited for this campaign as I am obsessed with reading and all things literary. There will be a little something for everyone in this campaign. It would help me out greatly if you followed it before launch so more eyes are on this campaign! Follow here!

Happy New Year my friends!

All of the pins are still chugging along in production, and I've got some fun samples of the gradient window pins I'm so excited to show you. These have a pearl ombre, and these are the samples before the screenprint is printed on them:

The pearl gradient looks unbelievable, I'm thrilled with it. These now move on to the next stage of production with screenprint! If more sample pics come in I will share them but I definitely wanted to show you all these right away. I can't wait to see the entire campaign come together.

My next campaign, Books & Banter, launches in just 11 days! We're finishing up all of the designs for it and I'm thrilled with it. This campaign will include a ton of bookish designs ranging from mythical creatures, teacups, potions, snarky phrases and more. It will have something for everyone!
