Surveys Sent + Samples Have Arrived!
over 4 years ago
– Mon, Nov 11, 2019 at 05:21:56 PM
I have a couple of important announcements today! First off, surveys have started sending out to Backers and should arrive to everyone over the next 48 hours! You will then have until Monday, November 18th to finalize any Add Ons. I will be locking orders 48 hours after this deadline! You will receive an email reminder when I am preparing to lock orders.
You will receive another notification as well when I am going to lock addresses once I am ready to ship items so you will be able to make any last minute address changes.
IMPORTANT NOTE! Because we unlocked ALL of the physical Stretch Goals, shipping will be a couple of dollars higher than my original shipping estimate table to account for the additional sticker sets and the rigid packaging material they will require to arrive safely with the other pledge items.
The Goddesses Have Arrived...Sorta!
In other news, the pin samples have arrived today! I'm extremely happy with the detail and the sandblasted gold effect. HOWEVER, there was a small misunderstanding along the way and the factory forgot to include the shimmer swirl in September's disc and October's veil and dress.
The company has already agreed to send out proper reprints ASAP and I will share these with you all as soon as they arrive. The company is aware that I would like to send these pins out before Christmas and are working with me to work as fast as they can to make that happen!
I still can't make any promises I can deliver ALL of the pins by Christmas, but I am doing my best to try!

Celebration Time! Campaign Successfully Funded. What Next?
over 4 years ago
– Wed, Oct 23, 2019 at 07:59:52 PM
Throw the confetti and toast the apple cider because the Goddesses of Autumn enamel pins campaign has successfully funded at 137% of its goal! We did even better than the last campaign thanks to your lively support and sharing. I am so incredibly grateful!
Reaching this amount means that we unlocked the following:
Stretch Goal #1 - Enamel Upgrade - The Lady of September and October will now have accents of pearlescent enamel!
Stretch Goal #2 - Goddesses of Autumn Stickers - 4 inch vinyl stickers of the Goddesses' design will be included with all tiers which will be receiving physical Rewards!
Stretch Goal #3 - Little Gem Goddesses of Autumn Stickers - 4 inch vinyl stickers of the chibi Goddesses will be included with all tiers which will be receiving physical Rewards!
What Now? An Estimated Timeline of Events
Sample Pins Ordered - Now that the campaign is complete, I will be placing an order for pin samples that should take 2-3 weeks to arrive on my doorstep.
FundsFinishProcessing/Add-On Shop Opens/SurveysSent - In 18 days on November 11th, all funds should be finished processing and the Backerkit Add-On shop (where non-Backers will also be able to pre-order pins) will open. Pins from the series will be available to Backers and pre-order customers at full price ($15 ea), as the $13 deal was available only during the campaign. Surveys will also be sent at this time via email from Backerkit.
Pre-Orders/Add-Ons Shop Closes - You will have a little over 1 week from November 11th to order any Add-Ons and Pre-orders. The shop will close on 11:59 pm on November 18th. I will place orders for the product I need at this point.
Final Address Check - Once the final products arrive to me 2-3 weeks later, you will be given a final notice and 48 hours to update your shipping address.
Shipping Begins! - I'm hoping to get everything shipped out by Christmas, but I cannot make any guarantees! I will post a Christmas certificate graphic you can download and print for gifting just in case.
Abandoned Item Cutoff Date - Anyone who has not paid for shipping and/or answered their survey for this campaign by January 11th, 2020 will have their item(s) returned to my inventory and their pledge considered a donation. You will be able to pay for shipping and Add Ons all at once via the Add-On shop. I will contact each person who has not claimed their items via PMs here in Kickstarter.
I will keep everyone informed if there are any delays! At the very least, I will endeavor to make a post as soon as there is relevant news or action required on behalf of the Backers.
Need to Reach Me? Here's the best way:
Drop me a PM here on Kickstarter! It's helpful to me if we keep all Kickstarter-related inquiries within the site so I won't have to dig deep within several sites to find responses. I will be checking my messages regularly!
Please remember to be patient with me, as I am a one-person business/artist handling all of the shop upkeep, support, etc. I am only able to answer support messages during business days (Monday through Friday) unless there is an emergency!
Questions? Comments? Celebrations? Sound off in the comments section! Who is your favorite pin so far that you're most looking forward to, either created or coming soon? (I'm quite happy for my birth month of November to finally see creation in this set, myself! :D)
Final New Tier Added! Lady of NOVEMBER Original Art Bundle
over 4 years ago
– Thu, Oct 17, 2019 at 07:52:15 PM
We're almost to the end, my lovely Backers! I'm excited to share the final addition to the original art tiers.
The original bundle I'm adding to the Rewards today features the Lady of November, my Lady of Guiding Light. This ink drawing inspired by her pin's design was created with archival inks and accented with genuine 23 karat gold leaf. She will be matted in white with a black core and will come ready to pop into a frame for display.
A closer look at the original drawing and some of the tools that created it.
A quick 3 minute time lapse of this drawing's creation.
To claim this original, pick the "Art Collector - Lady of November" Reward from the list of Rewards and complete your pledge. You can also switch to this Reward if you've pledged for another. You'll be able to add different pins and prints in the Add On shop which will be available after the campaign has successfully completed.
Questions? Feel free to drop them in the comments or PM me for the fastest results.
We've funded this project already, but reaching Stretch Goals would be amazing! I'd be grateful if you shared any of the following links to help my project reach its goal (and some of those Stretch Goals!):
3 Early Bird Slots Now Available!
over 4 years ago
– Wed, Oct 16, 2019 at 07:46:12 PM
As usually happens with a Kickstarter project, there have been a few cancellations! A total of 3 slots in the limited Early Bird tier have opened up. This is your chance to collect the entire GODDESSES OF AUTUMN pin set for just $30! You should be able to switch your current pledge to claim it, if you like.
In other news, the September drawing has been claimed, but the October drawing is still available! Lady of November's ink drawing will go up tomorrow, as well.
Unfortunately, due to the number of cancellations we've had, we've fallen below the point to unlock Stretch Goal #1 for the enamel pin upgrades by a small margin. If we can fill those Early Bird slots up again and find a homes for the originals, we'll be in the clear for that enamel upgrade at the very least!
So let's do this! Keep sharing and spreading the word and let's make these last few days amazing!
