Updates, sneak peeks & a bittersweet shipping change

Happy Sunday, lovely reader!

I’ve had a really tough two weeks, and most of it wasn’t great.

My cat got sick with stomach issues, but luckily the medication helped. Just as she started feeling better, another problem showed up, her back began to hurt. Since she is 15 years old, we take every little issue very seriously. Thankfully, it turned out to be nothing too serious. She just got hurt while playing with our other cat, who can be a bit of a bully sometimes. Now she’s much better, and we are making sure to take extra care of our fragile little princess 💜

I took a whole week off for my birthday so I could focus on my art and get ready for a big shop update in September. Progress has been a bit slow, I’ve designed a few new items, but there is still plenty left to do! In the meantime, here is a little sneak peek of what is coming:

I’m planning to add lots of autumn and spooky goodies: stickers, bookmarks, keychains, and more! The release is planned for September 5, though I have a feeling there might be a little delay.

Shipping update

As you may have heard, the US is adding tariffs to every package entering the country. Sadly, this means my goodies will also cost 15% more. Since it’s still unclear who will be responsible for paying this fee or how it will be handled, I’ll be suspending shipping to the US starting next week. Hopefully this situation gets resolved soon!

In the meantime, you still have 2 days to treat yourself to something nice before the change takes effect 💜

I’m also running a 50% clearance sale on select items, go check them out at https://artofcataflame.etsy.com✨

That’s all for now, friends! 💜 Thank you so much for sticking around and supporting my little art journey, it truly means the world to me. I’ll keep you posted on new creations, shop updates, and of course, more cat stories 🐾

Until next time, take care and treat yourself kindly! 💜

With love,
