new shorts + early morning hike

[theshitpostcalligrapher]

god etsy is such an on fire trash can but it has a bunch of shipping presets that are difficult to migrate so i guess we'll do it this way

so anyways there's a glitch where sometimes it forces you to buy a shipping label in order to close out DIGITAL purchases which is fucking insane to me.

So I've pulled the only other cross stitch pattern off of it and made it a pay-what-you-want on kofi

I've also uploaded the other MASSIVE pattern onto ko-fi bc why not

It's a fairly obscure monster road trip reference but I'll be real it holds it's own perfectly fine as a fun pattern to have around the house for your average weirdo

both of these are basically free since ko-fi allows you a pay what you like option

If they had canada post shipping label pre-sets and a robust dms-to-custom-commission-listing system I would migrate in a heartbeat but ALAS

This guy's all finished! First time hand-embroidering. Took me 3 times to get it decent. I think he turned out very cute! I used minky as usual, and a bit of craft foam for the eye. This plush was very much a journey, and a lot of new things were learned along the way. He'll be off to his new home soon!

First time using my custom tape! It's an exciting new step for my business and it makes me very happy :)

Based on this plush with small changes

Put the order in for a small batch of keychains!! Starting with 20 just to test the waters and see how it goes, but if things go well I can always stock more!

Happy March 1st!! Some great news regarding my and @kittyacelia's Etsy shop;

[We've officially restocked our Comfort Character Boxes!!]

💚×××💗

We've completely reformatted the way we handle our boxes, and included brand new images on the listings with all the information you may need!

The biggest change would be that we now have a blacklist for fandoms available instead of a whitelist. So, we can accept boxes from characters for nearly any fandom!! However, as a result of this change, we've changed the way we handle our custom-written letters.

💚 We've made letters completely optional, but still available for purchase with a list of whitelisted fandoms (Don't worry, each box still comes with the sticker of the character of your choice)! This was a hard decision to make, and was made based on our confidence to write in-character letters, as well as our desire to expand our reach to as many people as possible.

💗 We've also added the option to pay more for your box if you'd like, in order to fund more expensive items within the box! This isn't to say that our regular boxes will be dropping in quality, just that more budget will allow us to fund even BETTER stuff, like more official merch within the boxes!

There are lots of images in the listings now that explain each of these concepts a bit more (and we also made things like box sizing and potential contents more concise and easier to understand)!

If you have any additional questions that our listings don't answer, please don't hesitate to send a message to the Etsy for clarification!

I hope you have a great rest of your day, and I hope we can work with you soon!

will u ever restock the keychains?

(I WOULD PAY SO MUCH MONEY TO HOLD ONE OF THOSE LIL GUYS AAAA!!!!)

*cough* yeah idk who that was but as a (extremely) sane individual I would like to know if you are considering selling more ourtles to the starving peasants. :3

Anywhizzle ur art is so cool :D !!!!!!!!!!!! very silly, very crunchy, if you will, perhaps yummy, if you so desire. Tasty, if you would be so inclined

:3

Yes I still have some for sale, it would just not be through etsy! Rather just through dms and kofi! Feel free to message me with an address to send to along with $10 kofi and I can ship a guy your way :)

Do note: I am out of the little thank you sticker cards!

I want to buy a sticker from your shop, but shipping (to Canada) is down as $22 before tax. May I ask why it costs so much to ship a single sticker? Is it Etsy being weird, or does it really cost that much to send an envelope over the border?

I'm not trying to be snarky or passive aggressive or anything, I'm genuinely just kind of befuddled atm.

A fair question honestly! USPS sets the rates for international shipping, and shipping to canada really is about that expensive 😭 I considered sending stickers via envelopes, but 1. if I send them with a stamp (less than $2) they don't have tracking, and etsy Does Not Like That. I gotta send packages with shipping to qualify for star seller, plus it covers your ass in case USPS loses it. and 2. apparently it's illegal to send merchandise internationally in envelopes!! so sadly we're all stuck dealing with the super crazy international rates. I don't like it either because as someone who deals in trinkets, people generally do not want to pay $16 for a charm that costs $12, and they especially don't want to pay that for a sticker that costs $4... I would ABSOLUTELY have way more international sales if USPS wasn't fucking us with the prices but it's out of my control dssdjkfjksdf

I give this advice a lot, but if you don't want to pay international shipping (or just live in a country I don't ship to myself), you can borrow the address of a friend that lives in the states and they can forward it to you! I don't actually know if this is cheaper, but some people have said it is. it's def cheaper for stickers though if your friend uses a stamp!

TL;DR yeah etsy and USPS are Both Weird, sorry ; - ; i assure you i hate it even More than you do lmao
