Hey there, everyone!

With the show in Anderson this past weekend, combined with the health issues I'm working through, the past few days were kind of a blur. I woke up this morning, took care of some errands, and I've been sitting at this computer for the past twenty minutes trying to remember what else I needed to get done. Well, right as I was getting ready to clock in to the day job, I realized I still hadn't written this blog post! So yeah, I'll clock into work in a bit. First, let's see what's been happening here at the Trading Post.

New Products

There's not a lot of new stuff, as this past week was focused on getting ready for the Anderson show, but there's a couple of nifty pieces I've got up!

• The files I use for the earrings are about 40% scale "Mini Critters" by MatMire Makes, who you can find over there in the sidebar under the File Licenses List. I've also been printing them at about 80% scale in color as cute little fidget critters, and I have a couple of them up on the site! You can find both platypuses and capybaras here, and watch the main image and this space for more critters coming after I get the A1 Mini back up and running.
• The Healing Potion Bottle Dice Vault is back in stock in a shiny rainbow gradient!

Looking ahead to this week, my photography equipment is currently boxed in to where I can't get to it as we rearrange some things to prep for a possible surgery this winter that will keep me from going up and down the stairs, but I'm hoping to get some shots and put up more fidget critters, as well as some coaster sets, holiday fidget clickers, and a couple experimental holiday ornaments. Cross your fingers for me!

Everything Else

Here are some other shop updates and information, in no particular order of importance, except for the top post.

• I can not stress this enough! In order to insure packages arrive on or before December 25th, they need to be shipped by Wednesday, December 17th. Since I ship USPS Ground Advantage, tha means any orders I get after 6:00 AM EST on that date are not guaranteed to make it by Christmas.
• Our next show is the "OH SHIT Sunday Shopping" event held at Tinker House Events here in Indianapolis. The event, featuring what looks to be a cool group of small business owners, will run from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM EST, and it's free! Free entry, free parking, completely public! You can find more information here on their Facebook Event Page, or on their Eventbrite Page if you just despise Meta! As we have a limited amount of space, I'm already working on curating my table as opposed to just throwing everything in boxes and hoping for the best, but if you're going and have a request, please let me know!
• As I mentioned above, I'm working on getting the A1 Mini back up and running as it's decided to just take a break. It's probably an update that borked something and I need to find what to reset, but I've been too busy. Hopefully I'll be able to get it taken care of by Thanksgiving, and I'll get the multi-color prints stocked back up.
• Remember, if you want to really keep up to date on what I'm doing, you can find me on BlueSky, Facebook, and Instagram. Not only do I show shop stuff there, but I also share some other fantastic creators' work that I'm sure you're going to like.
• If you've read this far, you are a fantastic and wonderful person, and I appreciate you immensely.

That should do it for this week. I hope you all have a fantastic week, and please remember if you're going shopping this weekend, be kind to everyone. Both your service workers and your fellow shoppers. Unless they're being a total ass, then feel free to shame them. In the meantime, take good care of yourselves, and each other.
