10 months ago – Fri, Jun 16, 2023 at 07:18:21 AM

Hi my spooky friends, its been a while right?

I wanted to reach out to the incredible supporters who helped us bring some halloween to life, and we're thrilled to reach out to you once again with an exciting project! If you have backed a lot of my Halloween projects I am so sorry for the duplicate emails and hope you can forgive me.

Introducing our latest creation: the Retro Pumpkin Man Handbag! 🎃👜

We know you appreciate unique and whimsical designs, and this time, we've crafted something truly special. Our Retro Pumpkin Man Handbag combines the enchantment of Halloween with a touch of vintage flair. It's a statement piece that will turn heads and spark conversations wherever you go.

As a valued supporter, we wanted to extend an exclusive invitation for you to join our Kickstarter campaign and be among the first to own this limited-edition accessory. With only 100 pieces available in our initial run, this is your chance to secure a truly one-of-a-kind item that captures the spirit of Halloween.

By backing our campaign, you'll not only receive the Retro Pumpkin Man Handbag, but you'll also gain access to exciting Kickstarter rewards. Plus, we have enticing stretch goals lined up that will unlock additional surprises and enhancements along the way. Your support will play a crucial role in making this project a success.

We invite you to visit our Kickstarter campaign page at bit.ly/retropumpkin to learn more about the Retro Pumpkin Man Handbag and make your pledge. Don't forget to share the campaign with your friends and fellow enthusiasts who appreciate extraordinary fashion and Halloween-inspired designs. Together, we can make this Halloween revolution a reality!

We want to express our deepest gratitude for your continued support and belief in our creative endeavors. Your enthusiasm has been instrumental in making our previous projects a success, and we hope you'll join us on this new and exciting journey.

Thank you for being part of our community and for helping us bring this bewitching project to life.

Hauntingly Yours,

New plush Kickstarter running now
about 1 year ago – Mon, Mar 20, 2023 at 10:05:28 AM

Hello my Halloween friends,

I know this might not be in your wheel house but I figured I would try since we need some help. Meet Custard she is part of our new Cottage Critters (TM) line she is first in a series and launched this past Friday and is currently 25% funded.

Custard plush Kickstarter

We have plush, pins, stickers, a coin purse and some stretch goals planned should we hit our goal. I know I see some of you there already but I hope some who may not follow me or know about the current project join us today. Thanks so much and have a wonderful day!

We are currently working on a new Halloween bag AND our fall line if you are more inclined to just want the Halloween goodies. Thanks so much!

Kickstarter packing complete
over 1 year ago – Mon, Dec 19, 2022 at 10:54:00 AM

Hi Everyone, 

I worked through the weekend to get all of the parcels packed and together to ship out as soon as they could. This morning we dropped off the last of the parcels to UPS and USPS.  We had USPS pick up a load Saturday and we took two trips to UPS yesterday.  Many items shipped Saturday and are already on their way to you. Johnnie stood in an out the door line twice to get some items out via UPS Sunday. As of now everything is out the door. 

A couple of things:

  • Your parcel will ship EITHER USPS or UPS. This was determined by weight or distance. Any tracking with all numbers is USPS priority, anything containing a letter 'Z' is UPS.
  • My website, backerkit AND Kickstarter is sending you tracking. My shopify site should give you an out ffor delivery email. It is up to YOU to track your parcel. Once it is out of my hands my responsibility ends. If you need assistance with your parcel let us know but please be patient this is a ridiculously busy time of the year. 

The bags are inside of a dust bag, inside of a plastic bag for protection. Your STRAP is in the BAG at the very bottom. 

All add ons are inside the carton, some may shift in transit. Please dump out the box entirely to make sure you didn't miss anything. 

We have 3 backers who never filled out the Survey. You will forefit your items if you do not fill out your survey today. I have been trying to contact you since August. We will not issue refunds. 

If this is you the survey link is here: https://halloweenitabag.backerkit.com/

Anyone who wants additional bags will be able to purchase one on our website this afternoon or during to night's Pop Shop live. We will be live at 8pm EST on Pop Shop. AshEvansArt is my seller handle. 

I want to thank you all for your kind patience with this project. You have all been the best behaved bunch yet and a dream to work with so thank you so much. Please keep in touch with us on socials. I put media cards in all of your packages. 

I am working on a new Halloween bag so there will be a new design in 2023.

Thank you all for making this possible, I have always wanted to design a bag and you made it happen. It really was a dream come true and thank you for putting your faith in me. 

Please have a safe and happy holiday! 

Bright Blessings

Bags and inserts have arrived!
over 1 year ago – Sat, Dec 17, 2022 at 01:43:05 PM

Hello everyone,

After getting stuck in terrible weather in the middle of the country our ITA bags are finally here! I am currently opening and checking cartons and we will begin shipping today!

My post office closes in about an hour so I am going to get out as many as I can before it does. Our regular pickup guy comes in the late afternoon/evening so we will have two waves going out. I will pack all day today and everything remaining will ship on Monday.

You will be sent tracking through backerkit and on Kickstarter when your bag ships.

I will post again with photos later and also when I have completed shipping. Thank you all for your patience with the COVID lockdown delays. It really reduced the amount of stress I had even though I was really stressed about it. I didn't want you all to be disappointed. I've opened one and it looks amazing.

I hope you all love them when they come.

Thanks!

Bags have cleared customs!
over 1 year ago – Sat, Dec 10, 2022 at 02:48:29 AM

Hi Everyone, 

I have been informed our bags have cleared customs. They are in a port in CA and will be on their way to me via UPS very soon. I am checking tracking info hourly. I am currently assembling all the boxes for our shipments. There are 78 parcels we have to send out. I have a plan in place for parcel pickup and we should have bags and items packed and shipped within 24-48 hours of our receipt of the items barring any issues with damage etc. 

You all will be sent tracking via Backerkit AND I will DM you through Kickstarter. It is your job to keep an eye out for it, we are not responsible for lost/stolen parcels. If anyone has not filled out their survey by the time this project is fully filled we will not hold your items. I have been asking for months for you all to fill out an address and make selections. You agreed to pay for the project so no refunds will be issued. That being said there are 8 of you who have still not filled out a survey. 

If you did not get a survey here is a recovery link: https://halloweenitabag.backerkit.com/

Addresses are locked, if anyone has issue with that please message me now as we are importing your info to print shipping labels soon. 

As for packaging please check inside of your bag for the straps and depending on how safe I feel it is pins and extras may be in the bags as well so theres nothing creating friction outside of the bags during shipment. I will decide what is best on an order to order basis to ensure your items arrive to you in pristine condition.

Thank you all for your patience with this project as we all navigate a world in COVID manufacturing. I appreciate you all and our next update will be when things begin to ship. If anyone has questions or requires additional assistance please feel free to message me.  I appreciate you!

Ash
