We've got some puffs landing in the shop this week but before we get to that, we wanted to talk a bit about Zen & Harmony!

Zen & Harmony Comfort Plushies Kickstarter

We've officially reached our funding goal for the Zen & Harmony plushies! If you haven't already, you can back now to secure your Zen & Harmony plushies at Kickstarter exclusive prices at $85 each. Now that we've reached our funding goal, current backers will be charged when the campaign ends on June 25th.

If you can't afford to pledge the full amount right now, you can activate the Pay Over Time option by pledging at least $125(USD) or back the Pledge Manager Tier for $10 and add the plushies in later during the pledge manager surveys. 

We've had a few questions about whether the plushies and add-ons will be available in the shop later and the answer is most likely yes but the amount of extras will really depend on how many are purchased through the Kickstarter. We are ordering more conservatively in general so we'll have less extras overall. If you want to guarantee a plushie and you want the discounted Kickstarter price, you need to back the campaign before June 25th. After the campaign, the plushies will be $90 each. 

If you have any fun pictures of the original Zen plush, we'd love to see them on social media so be sure to tag us with #zenandharmonyplush.

Back Zen & Harmony today on Kickstarter!

Pollen Puffs coming in hot!

As I, Mr. Beastie, am writing this blog, Reese and Becca are hard at work assembling the puffs for you. Before a puff finds its way to you...

Becca paints each eye gleam by hand.

The head and tails are glued to the puff.

The puff is carefully packed into its crate with assistance from our own little helpers.

In the case of the Punky and Pastel puffs, we also build and sew the puff bodies by hand.

Our kitchens have felt like this!

All this is to say that we've been working very hard to deliver more puffs to you. This upcoming batch is more plentiful than our first batch but please note that it's probably still not enough to fulfill a puff for every single person that filled out our puff interest survey. Splitting this batch into individual colored listings makes a lot less available per listing. If you are interested in a specific color, you'll need to be here on time. We have some tips below to help you secure your own puff.

Coming Wednesday June 11th @ 10 am MDT

These will all go live at 10 am MDT and will be available on our handmade page. Bookmark that page for easy access before the sale goes live. There are more Cherry Blossom puffs than the other colors.

Remember we will release a second batch of each puff color on Saturday June 14th @ 10 am MDT so if your chosen puff is sold out on Wednesday, you have another chance on Saturday.

Pollen Puffs are limited to ONE PER ORDER. If you have more than one puff of any combination of colors in your cart, you will not be able to check out and may miss out on your puff entirely.

To go along with this batch of puffs, we have some brand new rainbow stickers featuring the holographic star pattern. These will go live @ 9:45 am MDT to allow you to add these to your cart ahead of the puffs release time. In the future, items like this may go live ahead of limited releases like the puffs.

Chance to Buy and Auction Puffs

These will work just like our handmade sculpture CtB and Auctions and will be live from Friday June 13th @ 5 pm MDT to Monday June 16th @ 4 pm MDT. Please see our updated auction rules on our handmade page. Auction puffs are still being worked on and we'll share those later this week.

Rainbow Puffs (20 total, 5 reserved for new owners)

Tips for securing your puff on Wednesday

• If you haven't already, please create a free account on our website and make sure you are logged in before the sale.
• If you'd like to purchase additional items, add them to your cart before the sale. Adding something to your cart will allow you to enter your information ahead of time.
• Head to our handmade page before the sale. At the time of sale, you'll want to refresh your browser to see the puff listings when they go live at 10.

Get ready to rock!

Next week on starting on June 18th and June 21st we'll have the Punky & Pastel Puffs ($45 each)! Each puff will have their own first come, first-served listing and a Chance to Buy form (Friday the 20th) where you can choose which puff you want to try for.

Along with these puffs, we'll have some brand new Pollen Puff stickers and sticker sheet. These will also go live ahead of the Punky and Pastel puffs.

Future batches of puffs

The amount of puffs we'll be delivering throughout June is large and untenable for us to make each month. However, as long as people are interested in pollen puffs, we'll keep making them. New batches may be past puff colors or brand new ones that Kit and Biscuit may discover on their adventures around Emberglow. 

We've been discussing offering a puff subscription through our Ko-Fi membership. This would have a limited number of slots but you'd be guaranteed to receive a special puff each month for $50. If this is something you'd be interested in, please fill out this form so we can get a better idea of how many people would be interested in this kind of subscription.
