Latest Updates from Our Project:

New arrivals + Production update
2 months ago – Sat, Aug 17, 2024 at 10:58:19 AM

Hello Lovelies! 

As we continue into summer and near our planned initial arrival for the Hortus book, I wanted to provide a quick update. 

All the non-book rewards for Hortus have been successfully delivered! The tees, which arrived last week, are a sight to behold. A heartfelt thank you to Triple Stamp Press for their exceptional work in bringing these to life. 

Enamel pins have also arrived and look fabulous as well. 

All that we are waiting on now is the book itself. We received our first sample from the new manufacturer, which looks really good. We have a couple of tweaks, so we have one round of revisions to complete, but everything should move into production. Thank you so much for your kindness and understanding in changing our project's printer. We can already tell how much better these books will look after making the switch, and the delay will be well worth it.

Happy Summer everyone! May August bring you lots of joy and many blessings! 

Production Updates!
3 months ago – Fri, Jul 05, 2024 at 10:33:30 AM

Happy July, everyone! 

We are hard at work getting this project into your hands. Both the Fancy Lad Art Print and the Hortus Sticker Sheet have arrived! They look great, and we can’t wait for you to see them in person. 

The enamel pins are currently in production, and we should receive them by the end of the month, so keep an eye out for an update when they arrive.

After finalizing our backerkit orders, we sent off the t-shirt order, which is currently in pre-production. They should start production in a few weeks, and we should have them in front of us next month.

The coloring book itself hit a snag in the production process, so we chose to switch to a new manufacturer. It is of the utmost importance to us that we provide you with the best quality product we can, which requires us to change from our original choice of manufacturer.  Unfortunately, this will delay the book's printing past our estimated delivery date of mid-August and will push it toward an October or November delivery. Despite a significant delay, we would rather push the delivery window further than give you a product we were not entirely happy with.

We sincerely apologize for the delay this will cause. We hope you will be much happier with the final products when they arrive. We deeply appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate this unexpected delay. Your support means the world to us. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. 

Your support is invaluable to us, and we are truly grateful for it. Thank you for being a part of our project and for your continued belief in the project. 

Cheers, 

E

Hello lovelies,

It has been a while since we have given you an update, and we have a very short but important one this time; thanks for your patience. We have finalized the design and sent it off to the printer. We hope to approve their samples in the coming weeks before production officially begins. We are also confirming orders for the remaining rewards and look forward to sharing them with you as they arrive. As of now, we are still on track to fulfill pledges in August.

Please contact us if you have any questions about your pledge. We look forward to more updates shortly.
