🌟 Pin Production Photos for the 2nd batch!

So there's this thing that happens where, after I tell someone else about a problem, the problem finally and magically resolves. That ever happen to you? Because after the last Kitchen Update, I FINALLY got some photos! Now, these pins are not complete and still need to be painted and plated, but I'm excited to share what I have anyway. Photos below!

I did notice that I didn't recieve any photos of the Black Sesame pins, so I asked about them and will report back when I hear back. Which.. hopefully won't be as long. Second, I did get notice from my packaging supplier that the cards for these pins will be heading my way shortly as well.

🎨️️️ New Artwork! Postcards & Next Month's Menu Peek

I have so much new artwork to share!! Aghhh!! I don't even know where to start because I realized while typing this, how could I have forgotten to include art in this update? I literally was so focused on pin updates that I completely spaced. I feel so silly. So here, in case you didn't see it yet, here's the piece I did for this month's Tasting Room! I wanted to add postcards to the menu because a lot of folks have been asking for smaller art pieces, so here is the first one I've added. Tasting Room Members for this month got a free postcard in their Maki Mail this month, but it's also up in the shop if you'd like one for yourself!

And, as a treat, here's a sneak peek at the Kirin theme I'll be putting in next month's Tasting Room! I'm really going to be spoiling members with their choice between not two but THREE pins! I couldn't decide which Kirin Kakigori, and the Taste Test results were neck and neck so... Why not both?

🍤 LAST CALL: Tasting Room Menu Turnover March 31st! 🍤

LAST CALL FOR THIS MONTH'S TASTING ROOM MENU! It's getting to be that time again! The March Dog Dishes menu will be closing at the end of the month on Tuesday, March 31st!

If you've been enjoying my work, I did want to invite you to consider joining my pin club, the Tasting Room! The Tasting Room gives you a front row seat to every thing I'm working on, and gives me the support I need to keep serving up smiles without having to rely on big crowdfunding campaigns or social media algorithms. (Booo big companies, Yay small business!) You can read more about the pin club and it's perks by visiting the Tasting Room here.

Thanks again for reading, and I can't wait to serve you again!
