Funding Period Finished!!

Hi everyone! The one-month period of funding is over, and in that timeframe we raised $6204 for the $800 goal! That’s pretty dang amazing and that’s with all your help! Thank you SO much all!
We hit all of our 10 original stretch goals of plushies, stickers, and charms. We did fall a bit short of the newly-added $7000 stretch goal for the food uniform charms, BUT the charms will be available for preorder through our backerkit survey! I really want to pull these food uniform charms through, even if I have to use my own funds, so that in the end no one will miss the opportunity to get them.
Ok, finally onto what are the next steps: Kickstarter takes 2 weeks to process the funds before transferring them over to me, so in the meantime I will prepare the backerkit survey emails. Please keep your eyes peeled for the email; please also check your promotions and spam folder!
If anyone has questions, you can reach out via Kickstarter or my email [email protected]. (I don’t recommend Instagram or Twitter direct messages as they are very easy to miss.)
Once again, thank you all very much, we’re amazing for making this campaign a success, and I hope you all have wonderful holidays next week! <3
Much love, Stace

Hi everyone!
In this update, I’ve got two new items for our new stretch goal: double-sided charms of Dumpling the waiter and Sundae the barista! In their little story universe, Sundae runs a cafe called Chilla Tea, and next to her shop is Dumpling’s family restaurant called Comfy Curry. They are happy to serve you delicious drinks and food!
The new charms feature cat head clasps (I simply thought this was the next cutest option) and the size of charms are 2 inches. If you purchase Sundae, she comes with a second, 10mm mini charm of an ice cream cone attached 🍦; if you purchase Dumpling, he comes with a 10mm mini charm of a dumpling 🥟
I’m really excited to make these charms — I have produced charms before, but it’s a first time adding a 2nd charm attached to it. I hope you guys like them!!
Again, thank you so much for all your support! I can’t express how much I appreciate it! Please share this campaign around, we’ve only got one week left!! Let’s try to spread these cute babies around until then!
Thank you!!

Hello all! We’ve unlocked all our original stretch goals: all 4 types of plushies, all stickers, all pins, and all charms!
Yay!!! We did it!!!
Thank you all SO much for the support! I’m truly blown away and I just can’t believe this campaign is a success — I’ve struggled for several years to build an online presence and to have my creations reach others, so this achievement means so much. Each and every one of you has my full appreciation and gratitude, I couldn’t have done this without you all.
But we can’t relax yet — within the next few days I’ll be adding new items to this campaign, which means new stretch goals! I will update when they’ve been added and we’ll need to share this campaign more than ever! Let’s keep this hype going!
Again, thank you so much for helping this project come to life! Sundae and Dumpling are grateful too! <3

Hi everyone! Amazing news: we’ve unlocked all 4 plushies! Thank you all SO much for the support, it truly means so much! I really feared we wouldn’t be able to unlock all 4, but I am blown away by what we’ve accomplished. We couldn’t have achieved this without you!
There are still more stretch goals to reach. The items that remain locked are enamel pins and acrylic charms. These are bonus items for you guys and I want you all to be rewarded, so let’s keep liking, commenting, and sharing the campaign. Every bit of boost helps! Share with your family and friends so that we keep this rolling! Also, please comment on this post what kind of other stretch goals you'd like to see for this project. I'd love to hear to your ideas and create more things for you all!
