The only way to sweeten your coffee when you're drinking out of a @hinterland.bsky.social The Long Dark mug is with liquid gold, aka maple syrup (sorry it's not Canadian syrup, @thelongdark.bsky.social )

I’m not sure if I’ve shared this on here before. I created this miniature world based on @thelongdark.bsky.social a few years ago for my friend’s birthday. Every tiny piece was handmade from bits and pieces around my desk. Not for sale. @hinterland.bsky.social @raphlife.bsky.social
