Shop will be closed from the 7th (end of day GMT+8) to the 22nd this month as I'll be away for a bit! Orders from before then will still be sent out this week as usual.

I'm expecting some new stuff I've had in the works to come in soon after I get back, so stay tuned! ☺

I'm so sorry Jade...things are happening so much 😭

Since today's mail dropoff will be the last before that date, I've tentatively made it impossible to check out for US orders. It doesn't change much about it going to be too expensive to buy from me, but it pushes the deadline up by a week (ending now, essentially).

A small development in shipping conditions: the local post office will suspend almost all shipping options to the US starting 25 August due to the new customs regulations, leaving the most expensive shipping option (Speedpost Express).

Thank you so much... ;-; I appreciate your longtime support, it's so so frustrating that there's no knowing when this will be over. And that's like, a minor thing for me compared to people who actually have to live with and bear the costs of all these sweeping changes. Please stay safe. ❤

Please check out 8BBS before the US de minimis policy changes for packages received by the 28th. You basically wont be able to buy their wonderful work in the US anymore with the economic policy and tariffs being set by conservatives. I've bought tons of their merch and its all wonderful.

For anyone outside the US: nothing should change, but feel free to take advantage of the discount too!

In any case, thank you for everything. I have things in production and a whole bunch of WIPs, so stay tuned >:)

After that, if nothing changes...it'll become prohibitively expensive for anyone from the US to order from me. I've been thinking about it a lot, because almost all my customers are from the US, so I'll need to figure something out...but don't worry, I'll find a way. ❤

The de minimis exemption for low-value imports under $800 ends Aug 29, and the latest post office trip I can make that will have a reasonable chance of getting the mail into the US in time (no guarantee, however) is in a week's time.

Sorry for the lack of warning on this one - I thought it best to get out ASAP (literally *just* finished taking and editing photos) due to impending tariffs for US customers.

LIFC is this weekend! I'll be temporarily closing shop after this week's shipping cutoff (end of day Tuesday GMT+8) until after the convention. I've no clue what my stock levels will look like after LIFC, so if there's anything you want, do consider getting it now!

The stickers from the first one are from @tyiart.bsky.social for the moons and the flowers and @8bbs.me for the stamp like washi!

Collage mainly purple dark&light, geometric placement with stickers around space, sky and sea.

collage quite simple purplish sky with a large white circle with a moon sticker in the middle of it

collage mainly green and beige, a person in a green&white stripped dress turn their back while holding a paint bucket in one hand and a paint brush in the other, they're walking in a wild field, there's some washitape green with flowers on the top and bottom

I'm sorry :( I'd love to be able to ship there too, but the regulations are hard for smaller shops to keep up with...

8-bit birdsong @8bbs.me · May 12

Hi! Are you located in the EU? Due to GPSR regulations I'm unable to ship there. I couldn't figure out a way to completely prevent selecting affected countries without having to overhaul my entire shipping settings, so for now it's just set as an impossible price 🥲

Happy 5/12! New sticker sheets are up!
