Candy Club – August 2026

We are continuing our efforts to reach out more frequently!

Several framed watercolor paintings are sitting in a line.

Once again it has been a bit since our last newsletter, but we are here again! Now that we have things more organized, we should hopefully be updating more. We have lots of things to share!


SHOP NEWS

Our biggest update is that we have a Kickstarter campaign launching on August 28th!

A graphic titled "Wearable Nature." There are digital mockups of seven haori and seven enamel pin designs and a photograph of someone modeling a ocean wave design haori.

We will be funding new haori designs, new enamel pins, and offering our haori in two different sizes for the first time! Every pledge for a haori comes with a free enamel pin, and everything will be offered at a lower price for the duration of the campaign.

Here are just some of the photos we took for the campaign:

As a special thank you to all of our supporters, we are offering a special EARLY BIRD tier for the campaign.

This tier not only gets you a haori at our lowest price ever, but it also includes a free matching enamel pin and microfiber cloth! This pledge tier will only be available for the first 48 hours of the campaign, so make sure to pledge early to not miss out. For more information and to sign up for a notification when we go live, check out the pre-launch page:

As far as the rest of our items, the shop on our website is currently not working (see next section), so we cannot take orders here at this time. If you would like something from us, we can setup a direct invoice and shipment – just reach out! Lots of our items are also on our Etsy shop as well.

We hope to have the website store back up and running with our complete catalog by the end of October. If our Kickstarter campaign goes extremely well, that may be delayed. Stay tuned to us here or on our social accounts to see when we are up and running again!


WEBSITE NEWS

One may be wondering why we have not been updating our newsletter so frequently. We have had many life situations with surgeries and family events, but a major reason was some back-end organizational issues. I discovered our previous email client was not sending or receiving emails properly. If you have ever sent us a message through the website and we have not responded, my deepest apologies. I am working on fixing this now and we should be all good by the end of September at the latest. Thank you for your patience in the meantime!

As mentioned above, we should be updating the store on the website by the end of the year. There will also be other website changes to make it faster to navigate and easier to use. Stay tuned for everything we have coming up!


UPCOMING EVENTS

Our only remaining currently scheduled event for the year is Gamehole Con in October. We are so excited to be returning again! We will be offering new items and taking commissions as usual. See you there!

We hope to be chosen for the Big Gay Holiday Market and Midwest Furfest again, but we shall see what the juries decide for us soon. If there is ever an event that you would like to see me at, suggest me as a guest to the event organizers! Most events are always looking for artists to add on as guests and it would be an honor to be chosen.

Thank you so very much if you have read this far. Your support means the world to me and I could not do this without you! Please share our Kickstarter campaign with anyone that you think would be interested so we can have the best possible launch and hopefully build to even bigger things.

See you here next time!
