Hellooooo everyooneee!
Who else is excited for Pintober? :D I sure am! (I will be so broke from all the amazing other participants haha)
For those of you who can't wait, here's a little recap with everything that is good to know.

At base, we only unlock the pumpkin kitty. But every 200 milestone more, we unlock more pins. I'm confident that we can fund them all!
Remember, you won't be charged until November. So grab the early bird tier if you want it! :) You can still change your mind about it during the campaign and change it till campaign ends.

All of them will have a glow effect in their eyes (see the "dark" version behind the colored designs). The glow will be white, but it will mix with the enamel color so the cat eyes will remain orange. 

Since I heard last time that mini pins are quite loved, I made two pairs that are thematically fitting :)

You can select these just like any normal pins. A pair of two counts as one pin. E.g. if you pledge for 1x Enamel Pin, you can select one pair of orange cat eyes for example! 
The green eyes will also have green glow which is incredibly strong compared to all other glow colors :>

Early pledges get a free sticker sheet, and there will be some discounted tiers available just for the first 48 hours if you pledge 4, 8, 12 or 14 pins where you can save some bucks. 

And there's two free pins to grab under certain conditions:
We are once more teaming up with MadChildSoul for a cross collaboration. On top of that, we are participating Pintober!
If you back both All Eyes on Fall and Wandering Souls by MadChildSoul, both of us will give you a free mini pin each. Like always we tried to match our campaigns so that many of you may like both of them :)
On top of that, if you back any three or more Pintober campaigns, you will also get a free pin from all of us! We are all making spooky sweets-themed mini pins to match the theme. (And of course MadChildSoul also participates Pintober)

Hey hey everyone!
Today I want to bring some information to my friends from the USA. If you have been shopping online at all, you will know about the tariff situation in the USA. I'm bringing you some info ahead of time so you can let the info sit in your head a bit before deciding if you want to pledge or not :)

First things first:
1. Yes, US backers can participate in this campaign! With some exceptions...
2. Unfortunately, for everyone in Alaska or Hawaii I can't offer the same shipping rate as for everyone else, it will be much more expensive since the affordable shipping method only allows mainland US. If you are from these states and want to participate, then please reach out to me so I can find the best way to ship to you.
3. The same goes for Puerto Rico, which our postal system considers part of US. I cannot ship here at all currently.

About the charges:
1. As an campaign exclusive offer, I will cover a large chunk of your tariffs. Enamel Pins are made in China, and all the tariff stacking would put them at 48% extra charge. You will NOT pay that ridiculous amount! I will only charge you 15% extra, and pay the rest from the pledge amount.
2. I will ship your parcels with PDDP, meaning that all tariffs will be paid by me. You will not be getting a surprise bill at your doorstep, and I will issue you correct invoices that match the amount you paid so if the customs have any doubts, you can prove it with the invoice + your bank/CC statements.
3. There is a chance for tariffs to be (partially) dropped or changed. As you may know, they are currently being fought over by the courts, and are currently illegal but still in place. If by the time of fulfillment, the tariff rate gets lowered or even dropped, I will of course NOT charge you anything extra!

I hope this is a good compromise for all of you. I am not comfortable charging you ridiculous extra charges, but I also cannot pay it entirely out of pocket. I completely understand if many of you don't want to buy from overseas currently, but I hope all the campaign extras and all will ultimately be worth the extra charge.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them :)

Cheers

Hey hey everyone!
The launch date for Pintober is coming closer and closer - behind the scenes, a lot is happening both for this project and the one after (check out Meowshrooms). Today let's focus on something fun - free stuff!

Please note that the free pins are still subject to minor changes. These rewards are exclusive during the campaign but leftovers may be sold at a later time.


And of course, returning backers get 3€ off their shipping cost as always! 

- I'm waiting for some samples of purchasable add-ons to arrive so I can show them too
- Still cleaning up / finalizing all the designs
- I'm also currently testing different ways to handle US shipment so that you will not be surprised with outrageous bills if you order from overseas. I will have the information ready soon!

Also: the poll for the unlocking order of the three sub-collections is still open, attached to this update. The cats are the clear winner for the first set, but it's quite close between mushrooms and leaves! If you haven't voted yet, you may want to so that your preferred set gets unlocked in time.

Cheers

Hello hello everyone, new and old friends! ✨
First of all, THANK YOU for so many teaser page subscriptions already, wow! We’re over 120 already! You are GREAT!

Since this is a project with 3 sub-collections, I would like to hear everyone’s opinion on which set should unlock first. We have the cats, the leaves and the mushrooms. Which ones are you eyeing (ehehe)? Let me know in the poll below this update!

Also, I wanted to show you the stickers you can get during the campaign as well, freshly arrived today. ✨ They are 3” holographic, aren’t they trippy?



Also, stay tuned for the coming updates, where I will talk about:
- Finalized designs (current ones aren’t cleaned/vectorized yet)
- Cross-Collaboration with our friends from Mad Child Soul as well as Pintober
- Early Bird & Returning Backer Freebies
- Purchasable Add-Ons

That’s it for now - have a happy weekend and I hope to hear some opinions from you all :)
