Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who came by my table at !! Sister Bernie and I loved seeing you again or meeting you for the first time! 🖤

It was lovely to visit Chicago again and thank you also to the staff of TGL for putting on the event and having me as a vendor 🖤🖤

I also have to shout out the California Goth Girls Union for keeping me alive and fed, y'all are absolutely the real ones, and for taking this adorable photo of Sister Bernie telling me all the convent gossip 😂❤️❤️❤️

Excited to see everyone's beautiful coords ☺️🖤

Proof of life!

I'm not dead, but between a couple of battles with illness and a slightly overwhelming commission list, I did need to drop out of sight for a bit. I apologize to anyone waiting on exciting news, it will be a bit longer before I'm able to get back up to date with new things.

However! I do have a few announcements!
I will be vending at in a few weeks! I can't wait to see you all there! I'm bringing as much gothy frills as I can shove in a suitcase.

Also, I'm pleased to say I'll be back at this year as well, with a table in the jfashion market and participating in the fashion show! I'm very excited for this year 🖤

In other news, there's a lot of things stuck in my queue right now, as I prepare for these events and keep working on my backlog. I want to thank you all for sticking around through the quiet and I hope to reward all your patience as the year continues!

The Sister Bernie set is finally up on my website and available today!

The set has three pieces, the base dress, collar and veil~ There is also a custom option on the website for a slightly higher price, so please read the listing for more information!

I will also be bring a very few (like, 5) of these sets to The Great Lace in March 🖤

Everything is really awful right now so it feels immensely weird to be posting about clothes for a bear plushie, but I hope it can at least make you laugh- I certainly did the first time I dressed up my Bear Purse as a Nun.

Guess who's still alive and kicking!!

It's me and I bring you finally: the leftovers from Ursa Major drop I promised
Including! Vespers Collars (pictured), Doll Bears, Acolyte Veils and a huge jewelry restock (earrings, mostly)
I'll be slowly but surely getting back into the swing of things but for now my shop is open and actually feels somewhat stocked rather than the bare bones it was for so much of last year 🎊

Somewhat sappy Ursa Major post + news and updates time!

🖤✨ Firstly I have to thank everyone who purchased something from me this weekend or stopped by my booth to say hi- y'all are the real ones and it means the absolute world to me. I also have to thank my friends and community who were so understanding and kind this weekend, while I wasn't feeling my best- I can't believe how lucky I am to have met you all. I wish I had been healthier so I could have done more this weekend, but the times I did get to have were all the more special I think because they were few! And OF COURSE- you guys knocked it out of the park AGAIN and Ursa Major continues to be the best event I have ever had the honor of attending. BAK staff is the golden standard by which I now judge all other event staff, and I can't emphasize enough that you all are the reason I could pull this off this weekend.

🖤✨Second, many people asked this weekend if I will be at the Great Lace and the answer is YES! I will be vending and hopefully feeling better 🤞The other part of this is that for my next few drops I will start offering a 'pickup at TGL' option, if you'd like to avoid shipping and don't mind waiting.

🖤✨Thirdly! Everything leftover from Ursa will be going up on my website SOON. Possibly as soon as this weekend, though keep in mind that nothing will be shipped in time to make it for Christmas. The Bernadette Nun outfits will go up as well!

🖤✨ Fourth- you may have heard the rumor (or directly from me) that I will have custom Diaboli headdress spots opening soon- this is true! Probably towards the end of January. There will be around 5 fabric options! This will be part of a larger drop that will also probably include some dresses and accessories 👀💖

I think thats it for now!! Thank you thank you thank you 💖💖💖-Clary

One last treat for Ursa Major- the first available Possession JSK!

Some notes about this release~

+There will only be four- this fabric was designed by the incredible and was a misprint. I bought the last of the yardage, so four dresses is all it will make!

+They will all be a generally medium in size, with back shirring and back lacing for adjustability.

+The other three dresses will be released on my website towards the beginning of February!

Please come by my booth in the Artist Alley tomorrow to look at her! I'm so pleased with how this design came out, and I'm excited to share it with you all ❤️😈

A small reminder that if you can shop small this holiday season, please do so! It makes a genuinely huge difference in the lives of us creators ❤️

I know I've been quiet here for a bit- I'm currently playing catch up between working at the Dickens Fair and prepping for Ursa Major! I'm very excited to see everyone at Ursa and then sleep all the way through the new year 😅❤️

Our last of the year is coming up~ See you soon Sacramento!
Five expos in one year was crazy for me, and though I'm dead tired, I'm really glad I did it! The Oddities Expo is one of my favorite (and oldest!) events, and I'm so grateful that they've brought me back year after year. I can honestly say that I wouldn't be where I am now without their support, and I'm excited to continue working their events probably until I perish 🖤

In other news, can somebody please teach me work-life balance? 😅

To celebrate Le Vitrail day here's some of my favorite outtakes from the photoshoot we did for the book!

Y'all I can't say enough how full my heart is from having this book in my hands! It's truly a dream come true and the amount of love and the rest of the staff put into it is astounding. I think it's more important than ever to have physical records of our communities, and it's completely insane to me to be able to put this book on my shelf next to my gothic lo**ta bibles 🥲🖤

And one more thank you to my models and photographer: y'all. You guys blow me away with your work every time and I can't wait to dress up and stomp around a cemetery with everyone next time 🖤
