Thanks for the boost! 💙

It's worked really well! We've done a few different ones over the years, can set it up ahead of time if needed, recipients have loved. There's a few Google Home frames currently in use between us and family, it's been super seamless.

Did you know that if you buy my book on Amazon, Jeff Bezos makes 5 times as much as I do on each copy sold? Sharing some behind-the-scenes book math on why buying directly from presses is best for EVERYONE (except Bezos) in my newsletter today! aubreyhirsch.substack.com/p/book-math

Gothic Lace, printable or digital invitation. 🕸️🦇 Text changes of any kind are included with purchase! I've done sample layouts for a Halloween party and gothic wedding here, happy to tweak for whatever spooky event you've got in mind (boo-ze bottle is optional).

Listing image showing two versions of an invitation, indicating different color and text options. Black lace over a background of dark red or faded ivory, with an elaborate antique black frame around the text. One is for a "Costumes and Cocktails" event, one has two names for a Halloween-themed wedding.

If you're in the mood for something less intense but still solid creepy vibes, I've been very into MG horror books lately! Mine by Delilah S Dawson, Deephaven by Ethan Aldridge, Dust & Grim by Chuck Wendig...and I'm about to do a seasonal re-read of Bunnicula obvs.

Getting in a few more photos today before rainclouds steal the good lighting out in the sunroom. Borrowing the kid's game table to keep out of cat range... and while it helps with the cat hair, not going to stop them being literally underfoot. 😹

A figure of a black cat sitting, tail curled around several pumpkins. On its back are vines, leaves and miniature pumpkins.

The same figure but instead of black, it is bright blue, glowing in the dark.

Photoshoot day! Trying to do some color-correcting on the fly via phone today (ie while items are still in mostly-natural light for comparison), fingers crossed it'll speed edits along - I'll do lighting etc in Photoshop. Thank you sassafras leaves for being absolutely stunning this week!

Screencap of a gallery of a couple dozen photos. Two different sets of lace earrings, one grey and one black with red bead edging, in an array of product photo shots. White background, props including evergreen branch, antique brass vase, and vibrant red-orange fall leaves.

Two orange lace earrings hang from the lip of a dark brown candleholder, with red-orange sassafras leaves in the background.

Yes!! 😍 I've already informed my SO we're having a date-day to go see this in the theater, sumptuous is exactly the word.

It's @bandcamp.com Friday! This means the platform - which already pays artists waayyy more than others - gives their cut of the profits to the artists instead. 💙🎶

My newbies today: fuzzy shoegaze EP, 80s-inspired synthpop, atmospheric collab from two faves (the "&" cut off here is Mary Lattimore).

Screenshot of three items with album art in a digital music collection. Star by Battery Point, Like a Ghost by Carrellee, Perpetual Adoration by Julianna Barwick &... (sic; name cropped is Mary Lattimore).

I've been waiting all year to repost this 🎃

A pumpkin patch in a variety of shapes and colours, some with carved faces with different expressions. Between the pumpkins are black and white cats, crows, frogs, bushes, twigs and mushrooms.

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️

As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike.

WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

Kickstarter United is on strike!
We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform
swipe for ways to show your solidarity

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.

My middle-schooler has a Business and Entrepreneurship class this quarter. He was reviewing types of businesses with us, got all excited to learn that Mom has a Sole Proprietorship. "I should tell my teacher that!..but, I never remember the name of your store." 🤦 #brandingfail #bigvocabularyproblems

C&S has kids' Halloween lunchbox notes! Also great for treat bag tags, mini-bookmarks, etc. Buy once, print as many as you'd like whenever you'd like!

Nothing too creepy for your youngest ones in here, my kiddo's never done well with scary stuff lol.

Digital mockup of a pile of Halloween-themed small cards, mostly in orange, purple, and black. Cards have short seasonal phrases like "trick or treat" and "love you, pumpkin", with images of cats, pumpkins, bats, and a not-very-scary ghost.
