Whew!! Hello friends! We were holding off posting this because we had a feeling we’d move… and we did! We’re now ALL the way across the hall at @emeraldcitycomiccon at booth 707! We moved with our friends (now next to us), @sketchcartel!! - But wow. This show. We flew here (and it was a terrible experience - how many flight related disasters can happen in one trip? Answer: literally everything - we even lost all of our setup stuff for 7 hours because it was on the wrong PLANE). But yeah. Please come get rid of our stuff so we can bring less of it back with us, so if the airline loses it again, we don’t cry. - But all joking aside, please come visit us! It’s been a bit sleepy so far - thanks rain - but the weekend promises to be more alive! Fingers crossed. - We sent out about 75% of Black Friday orders before leaving, we’ll try to rush the remainder on return before C2E2, and then finish up when we get back from that show! - #eccc #artistalley #convention #seattle #enamelpinsforsale (at Washington State Convention Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXEq2qhvkcL/?utm_medium=tumblr

It’s time for some #BlackFriday sales!! Our promotion starts for patrons tonight at 8PM EST, and will start for the rest of the public on the 25th! - Our specials include a restock of the Ghibli pins (finally!) and Pokemon pins, along with draws, mystery bags and special deals! - The full revamp of the site will be likely pushed out in the next few days! It will be fully functional for checkout during this process, but we’re super excited to show you the new look. - Note: Since we just got the third Ghibli remake in, we’re on our way to finishing the Ghibli orders from before!! It’s been a hard year on nearly all makers with defect rates, so we’re grateful to finally be at the finish line with those. - The last remaining gachas (prior to the new batch available shortly) will be posted up from now through the 24th! - Also! We’ve sent out the community/friend/patron shipping confirmations!! If you didn’t receive that, please let me know directly. - Looking forward to seeing you all there! #blackfriday #holidaysale #enamelpins #pokemon #ghibli #shopsmall #smallbusiness #happyholidays (at Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWmAG1MPfKJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

We’re here for one last day at @animenyc — Booth B30! We’d love to see your pretty faces out there!! - I know it’s super hard to move in the halls right now, so if you’d like to request items to be set aside for you, feel free to DM and we can hold it through 2pm. We’re rather short on Ghibli items and Myths, and starting to run out of a few random items. - All said, it’s been a blast of a weekend - we’ve been hanging out with @kittynaut browsing the city!! Minus space and weird booth size problems, it’s been good. - Again, really lovely seeing New York again. <3 <3 You all have been so kind (we got some of the most delicious bread gifts too, Kiki’s Delivery Service style haha) - BF sales for patrons were rescheduled to Monday due to some website maintenance that is still occurring. Our apologies in that - the site is half gobbled up currently, but will be back soon. - #convention #artistalley #blackfriday (at Javits Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWij5oVrjis/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’ve been outside for most of today, and I would like fall to come back. Where did it go?? - We will have restocks of most of our pokepal line when the shop returns on the 25th (20th for patrons)! These pins somehow always end up being disasters, so our standard counts are always so abysmal…. But at least we have some this time?? It’s better than the last two stocks… - Also going to be finishing up the Gacha pulls in the next 24ish hours. Someone save my poor phone. - #gacha #pokemon (at Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWPNrYzr2jI/?utm_medium=tumblr

Making fun (and new) products sometimes can take a ton of trial and error! It also can be super expensive when you’re just testing since you’re only doing limited quantities. - I have exactly zero idea on how popular #deskmats are - was literally only reminded to post this here because I saw a poll by @arisa_chibara (<3). What do you guys think of art desk mats? Yes? No? - Excited to have the finished product of these in-hand soon… they’re currently crossing an ocean, so no exact eta on the in-hand drop. These will be available for reservation sometime in December for patrons. The small amount of extras will likely be dropped after they’re in-hand. Likely to be under ~10 of each in the actual drop. <3 #deskmat (at Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWMp-6erBN1/?utm_medium=tumblr

[alchemyartgroup]

Totally forgot to share this. We made this exclusive variant for @newyorkcomiccon - we’ll also have three specials for @emeraldcitycomiccon and @c2e2 in December (shiny variants!). - We’ll have a few mini-bundles set aside in the Patreon secret shop before the public sale starts for anyone who wants to grab them before we go to the shows (as we won’t have any idea of what remains afterward). - <3 #enamelpin #enamelpincollection #pokemon (at Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CV_f5eXJ4m5/?utm_medium=tumblr

SECRET SHOP UPDATE - Coming tomorrow at 6pm EST. Available to any patron that is pledged if you’d like to pick one up. Some notes: • We will have both the normal coloration and the variant coloration available. • Tarot cards (the silver foiled cards) are featured for each month, and are included in the monthly package BUT in the drop are now available separately. It will be gradually finished (all of major arcana). • The header card (where you can add your name, and has a description, etc) is available for $1 as long as you get the Red Riding Hood card. We will also drop a select number of variant colorations of Jirachi which was our special release for NYCC. #enamelpins #enamelpinsforsale #fairytale #tarot (at Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVeH2x5JhFI/?utm_medium=tumblr

Got to take some Eevee shots with some good friends right before NYCC. It was obviously an excuse for cannoli and chocolate (kidding, was just at the right place at the right time). - Reminder: Our shop is going on full hiatus from Nov. 1 to Nov. 20th in anticipation of Black Friday and our mental health flushing itself down the toilet (aka, 2 shows and readying the recount for our upcoming Black Friday sale). - We ARE shipping via DHL priority for international, so orders placed from Nov. 25-Nov. 28th should make it, but if you’d like to be 100% sure, please place orders now. Domestics have until Dec. 14th for first class, Dec. 17th if you wish to pay for the upgrade. (Note: they’ve already warned about shipping delays for the carriers alone, so please be aware - purchase that late at your own discretion, we had things delayed last year for months) - Prices are also going UP in the shop for domestics by .50! Forgot to change it earlier and all shipments going out for the last 3 weeks have been undercharged, oops. - Anyway, hope you enjoy the Eevee!! :D #enamelpin #eevee #pokemon #pokemonpins (at Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVMfHfpNY6C/?utm_medium=tumblr

[September Pin Club] Rolling in the last second (again - this is what cons do to you) with the sticker club of the month. This is an adaption of our mini dabbin’ owl friend. :D - This newest Milky Way sticker is included in all pin packages automatically and in the sticker club. We’re currently fulfilling up to Month 6 of this year with stickers. 7/8/9 are going into production now in the newest batch. - Red/Nian/Thumbelina are the in-progress pins currently - finally working through all of the remakes and the old Red pins that were miscolored (please see the post about that for more info). - Sleep… soon? Maybe, who knows. - #stickerclub #vinylsticker #owl (at Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUcMwfNLVtu/?utm_medium=tumblr

We’re live at @fanexpodallas this weekend!! A bit of a change in location - we’re now at booth 207 (vendor section). Kind of proud of this setup…. Don’t ask about the craziness that happened in the setup time. We only had to setup twice, lol. - As a special feature, we also have a partnered board from both @chocolateraisinfury and @jeanadraws! These are very limited in stock, so if you’re at the show and want to grab some of their lovely pins (Stories in our Stars/Sakura Zodiac), please come by!! - The doors just opened so I’m tabbing out, but hopefully we see you at the show. <3 #comiccon #artistalley #kindanotartistalley #boothsetup #smallbusiness #enamelpins #enamelpinsforsale (at Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CT72Tj9JqAP/?utm_medium=tumblr

Thanks as always for all of your kind words and support. Very tired today. - Some little Io pins. I’ll be dropping a select few of these into the store next week with Yato and Jupiter - probably the 22nd or 23rd. (Secret Shop drop, so access will be limited to those pledged for September at $3+, and Yato will have a few day advance order for patrons who want higher grades.) - Currently in the biggest headache of storms ruining con-travel plans, banks sending back checks for literally no reason, and just general headaches that make me want to scream. So here’s to Monday. She’s a right jerk face. - Still working on about a zillion catch-up items - if I haven’t responded to an email in a week, feel free to query again (please be nice, I’m human too) - I’m trying my best to work through the huge backlog on all fronts. Please remember I do all of email support and fulfillment alone (something I hope to change in better days) - if I miss something, it isn’t meant antagonistically!! I straight up get 100-150 emails a day and it’s madness keeping up. - - #enamelpins #enamelpincollection (at Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTx6RlXlXR9/?utm_medium=tumblr

If you’re looking for updates on Red Riding Hood (and aren’t in Discord - we update there most frequently!), please check out the public post now in Patreon. - TL;DR - We agreed on a sample with a manufacturer and they changed the colors without asking because they “ran out of pigment.” We had to pay to them remade because they decided their solution would be to “fix” the pins by ripping the enamel out and recoloring… we said no way in pin hell due to the damages that would cause (after telling us initially they’d offer us “5% off a future order”). That conversation was basically how much our pride could be insulted. - While I’m working on grading the main batch, you can also reserve one of the miscolored pins at a cheaper price through the 15th. After that they’ll be set to standard pricings. It comes on the backing card (same as pictured, just with the colorations adjusted). - Post: https://www.patreon.com/posts/update-about-red-52901196 Form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScJG6ayExnVFTTpCzE_RsjMw_CY0nGnbPbnYGoTcIsKWCxi1g/viewform - Basically this post is a “I’d terribly like to sleep and forget this horror” reminder, because ugh. But the final pins are pretty, despite my distress?? - #pinclub #redridinghood #fairytale #enamelpins (at Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTSjZY3pKcT/?utm_medium=tumblr

[Sticker Club] August Edition, continuing on with our patron-submitted ideas from the Milky Way collection! - This is the last day to sub in to get this sticker! It comes as part of the sticker club pledge (which includes Secret Shop access) OR you can pledge for any pin club tier and get it for free!! - This one was a lot of fun to paint, and we’re looking forward to pulling more ideas from all of your suggestions. :D - Enjoy the timelapse of the painting as well. <3 - #painting #vinylsticker #foxeyes #speedpaint (at Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTPRis6LQxn/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Secret Shop drop happened a few days ago. If you’re on the hunt for the Perytons or Jirachis, now’s your chance! - We’ll also be extending the Secret Shop access for the Kelpies/Guiding Will o’ Wisp/White Wandering Will o’ Wisp/Cubone through the end of today (PST). If you’d like to get the new drop and these ones, with an extra discount, be sure to nab it now! After that, we’ll be moving that into the public domain (the prices and codes will no longer work). - In addition, a select number of the first two months of Milky Ways have been added. The remainder will be added when shipments are finished for these pins! - #enamelpin #enamelpins #enamelpinsforsale #enamelpincollection #smallbusiness #smallbusinesssupport (at Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTOnNqjLjC9/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Dying Sun is our surprise favorite for the month, with a collection of palettes and bright colors. He’s the patron-specific variant of the Red Giant, which is available for preorder through the end of the month, along with the White Dwarf! - Which is your favorite?

[July Sticker Club] This was our sticker from July’s sticker club! Sorry for just posting it — we were caught up with cons and it definitely delayed some things. - This was an idea submitted to us on Patreon; we’ll have another poll up (featuring any of the remaining animals) for any current patrons. We always really appreciate everyone chatting with us and giving us ideas to work with!! - Due to the current manufacturing pin delays, we’ll be moving some of the sticker club up once we get a handle on current sendouts through March. Bear with us while we get things righted! I’ll talk about this in the new post on Patreon shortly. - Also please enjoy the time lapse of the sticker progress. - #vinylstickers #vinyl #milkyway (at Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSve9qUNMpj/?utm_medium=tumblr

A shot of our glowing Kelpie pin - this water horse seems pleasant here, but beware, they have a bit of a dark side. - There’s 9 hours left to this weekend’s sale to get 10% off all in-hand pins, including this pin! Check out our store! - [Note: Some pins do have exclusive access for patrons, which is available for $3. The prices are also lower universally while under the hold, so you get discounts for buying from the secret shop! And it stacks with the code for the free pin/additional 10% discount, so it honestly pays for itself.] - A handful of free Kirby pins left too - use code PINTERNETPLAZA-FREEPIN (for the discount and free LE pin!) - #enamelpinsforsale #enamelpincollection #enamelpins (at Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSVHBu9lr6c/?utm_medium=tumblr
