Nothing says “Sunday evening” like adding resin to new bookplate pendants!

These cured last night and are ready to go with me to AwesomeCon this weekend, alongside Ex Libris totes and all our ongoing favorite products too, of course.

Let’s hope this show breaks the cycle of this year so far, because the theme has been “Yay, a show we lost our asses on! Again!” 😭

Ex Libris obsession status: continued.

Some designs are begging to be worn, and I had some pendants that were waiting to give some art a home.

Next stop: resin.

Final destination: AwesomeCon in DC next weekend

After that: we will see. ☺️

They’re pressed, they’re beautiful and I am hoping they sell well when I test them this week. I want aaallllll the excuses to keep surfacing more to add to the series.

Hi, can we please stop banning books that were required reading when I was in high school?

So many of them made me aware of realities other than my own.

The world currently strikes me as an environment that would benefit from that.

I love that these bookplates are lighting you guys up!

I got a few DMs asking about the other ones I’d mentioned, so here’s the second one.

The company who prints the transfers messsed up the third one, so the redo should be here today - and I hope it turns out great because it’s one of my favorites.

Thinking I’ll press some of these and test them out at AwesomeCon in DC next week…🤔

I’m obsessed.

Did I need a new obsession?

No.

Did I spend an inordinate amount of time learning how to restore and touch up these amazing old Ex Libris prints so they’d look amazing when printed?

Yes. Yes, I did.

Busy months are ahead before the quiet of summer (aka the two months where I am convinced every year we will run out of cashflow).

We will be at AwesomeCon in DC March 13-15 and BookCon in NYC April 18-19 with our entire lineup of bookish scents, lockets and possibly a new product line (👀🛍️) to usher in springtime.

Go big, or go home, right?

I’ve also been busy tinkering with a new wax blend I am in LOVE WITH. It’ll make our lives easier and give you a bit better scent strength, all while staying wiring our coconut soy wax lane. ❤️

For Valentine’s Day, may I suggest:

✨ flowers? optional
✨ chocolates? negotiable
✨ Pemberley? required

Our newest Plot Devices candle is here—romantic, refined, and ready to teleport you to Mr. Darcy's grounds.

Our newest Plot Devices candle is here. Inspired by slow-burn romance, sharp wit, and falling in love when you least expect it.

Perfect for Valentine’s Day, Pemberley's fresh, clean misty gardens will delight partners, best friends, or yourself (which is arguably the most important love story, anyway).

Soft, classic, and quietly swoony, the lid comes engraved with Jane Austen's signature. 🕯️📖

Today’s coping mechanisms include:

– Reading
– Avoiding keeping the news on 24/7
– Supporting banned books

We have them in pin form.

Sonder (n.)
That moment you realize everyone around you has their own full, complicated life.

This is why I love in-person shows.
You don’t just sell things. You get to meet people, hear little pieces of their stories, and reconnect with the world around you outside of screens.

Even as an introvert, I find I have to refill this tank several times a year.
