My acrylic coasters have finally crossed the ocean after 2 months!
They have been updated in store.

I’ve also made some new keychains and glasses cloth.

Online Store

Store will be closing on August 16th until September.

There may be a new US tariff on Canadian made goods end of this month.
So that may apply to art books, prints, and even handmade things.
The shipping company is still unsure, because the border agency is vague.

I will be sure to update before the next shop opening, and try to see what is the cheapest way to send things to the US with duty prepaid.
Thanks so much once again for your patience and support in these ever changing times.

Hope you are having a good week❤️

p.s. My hydrangeas have lived through the winter and are starting to bloom again!
It retained its purple colour! :o

Thanks to everyone who came to visit at the Toronto Stationery Show! :)
It was my first in person show of the year, and it was a lot of fun!
(Brushing up on customer service and social skills after a long winter👁️👁️)

Online store will be open tomorrow at 10AM EST!
It will stay open for maybe a week or so, because I need to start preparing for Anime North at the end of the month!

There are 2 new sticker books~

Since a lot of people had asked for them, I finally made 2 designs.
They have 50 waxy blank sheets in them to stick stickers on for collecting and later use.

There are also some restocks for standees and coasters.

And the bean keychain has been restocked also.
This time I wanted it to be a little bit bigger, but it turned out kind of huge!

I was in Taiwan for a little bit, and enjoyed some wisteria blooms for the first time in maybe 20 years. 🥹 (Tamsui wisteria garden) They are one of my favourite flowers, but they are hard to catch in bloom, especially in Toronto.
(I only ever see the bald stalks. Every spring I will go to parks with wisteria and look at the bald leafless stalks hoping maybe this year they will bloom.)

Anyways, moving on to store update! 👀
I designed a bunch of things and they finally arrived!
Store will open tomorrow (Apr 7, at 2pm EST).

Spring is upon us! Or so I thought.
The other day it was 18C, and the following day there was a snow storm! 👁️👁️
It is snowing today as I write this, but I’m hoping it will warm up soon…
All the while the postal service works tirelessly, and I’ve received some new items to update the store with!

Shop will reopen at 10AM EST on Saturday April 12!

I think the colours turned out nice and bright!
But alas!!!!!!!
This spooky tote is cursed with printing errors!!! 😭
Last time I ordered a batch, the handle was the wrong colour, and this time, the swirly image has been printed upside down….
I have put it up at a discount, because the other side is still ok. 😭😭😭

I’ve also added the originals for the forest’s keeper series as well as a print set.

I wanted to practice drawing pine trees this year, as there are some right outside of my window. The idea was that these tiny keeper’s of the forest lurk amongst the shrubbery, taking care of the forest while staying out of sight.

There are also a couple of B-grade goodie bags, as well as a new temporary tattoo in collaboration with Tattly.

That’s it for this mid-month update!

Goodbye for now!

p.s. I finally finished moving into my new place!
There are a lot of boxes to sort through, but it feels so nice to finally settle in!!! (I haven’t cooked anything yet though.)

It’s been a while but I designed some new enamel pins!

I played around with incorporating clear resin for some of the designs. I think it turned out pretty neat! 👀

A new series of postcards have been added, as well as a selection of original paintings.

More paintings can be previewed in the store!

And a bit of good news: The most recent updates from my shipping company indicated that tariffs will not be affecting these packages being mailed to the US for now. :)
February felt truly nerve-wracking due to the uncertainty.
I truly appreciate everyone for the support and for the patience. 😭❤️

Hi everyone~😊
Just a heads-up that my online store will be closed on Dec 1 for the year!
Thanks so much for your support in 2024, I really appreciate you! ❤️
It was a very hectic year indeed with all the events and pop-ups, but it was a lot of fun to meet people in person.
Now that events are over, I hope to have some time to work on new things while packing to move to a new place. 😂
Next year will be my 10th year working as a full-time artist. 🥹
Time sure flew by. I want to make a special shop bonus for that!
Until then, hope everyone has a wonderful holidays, and a happy start to your 2025!
