Dragon Hoard Keepers - A Plush & Enamel Pin Campaign

Hi there!

We’re finally on the 24 hour stretch! Make sure you lock in your collections today for the best pricing!

And look at these adorable little guys who flew JUST in time to join the party!

Their teeth haven’t grown in just yet! And such tiny wings! 🥰

Family photo!



Carrying on the family trade.



Their maws hold tight with a magnet. So you can store precious dice and trinkets to stay safe inside. Beware, too much force will still force their jaws open. They aren’t crocodiles.

Don’t let their size fool you, we were able to fit two full sets of dice plus a few extras in these lil chonkers.

Add some of these lil guys to your pledge here!

Thank you again (and again and again) for your wonderful support. Because of you, we (and other creators in this space) are able to make such cool stuff. We wouldn’t be able to do this without you!

Before we go, we’d like to share three other projects that haven’t quite reached their goal yet. Please give them a last look, and maybe you’ll find a new favorite friend!

1. Anxious Cheetah & Emotional Support Puppy: Based on the real, heartwarming practice of giving anxious cheetahs a puppy companion for comfort. Don’t we all need a friend like that?



2. Lily Pad Ita Bag: A lilypad backpack/purse that’s a perfect home for your pin hoard. I just adore the interior pattern that is filled with delightful little green friends.


3. Paw-fect Maids: Meet Mimette! She’s all business. But don’t let that look turn you away. Just look at that cute blue with the bell! P.S.: Backing both Paw-fect Maids and Anxious Cheetah gets you some special collaboration goodies.



Elemental Myth - Okay, one more plug for our collaboration partner! But only because we really love their work! If you haven’t had a chance yet, check out the Elemental Enamel Pins by StrangeLittleCreatures. We adore their Kitsune Blind and Blacklight Phoenix pieces. It’s been a real joy being able to work with them!

Okay! Onwards to the final stretch! Let’s see how far we can get. 

We’ll see you on the other side!

Hello everyone! 

Just popping in because we’ve hit the final 48 hours of the campaign! 

To celebrate the final 48 hours, we put together one more surprise Hoard Keeper and mini hoard pins! This Dragon enjoys a quiet morning strolling through meadows and enjoying all the beautiful flowers the world has to offer.


Check out the addons section to add them to your pledge!

The Pin Hoard Dragon is so close! Pin Hoard Dragon is still so close to being unlocked! Today’s gotta be the day! There’s so much hope in those eyes!

That’s it for this quick check-in. We’re hoping you have enjoyed the journey thus far and have found some wonderful finds for your collections. We’re already itching to shift into full refinement mode on everything unlocked. Thank you so much for your support!

Happy 48 hours everyone! Until next time,

Hello everyone!

Over the weekend, we finally put together the finishing touches on the Pin Keeper’s Artwork.

This dragon is a bit more… domestic than the others. This one is perfectly content staying in, organizing its magnificent collection of enamel pins. A true introvert after our own hearts. And look how proud they are!

This solitary collector will be available when we hit the $20,000 milestone!

To help this collector, we’ve taken our Flower Collector artwork and turned it into an Enamel Pin Add-on! We’re getting a bit ambitious with this one and trying out a purple chrome finish!



With just 3 days left in the campaign, every bit of support gets us closer to unlocking this dragon and making these pins a reality. Thank you all so much for being on this journey with us. We’ll see you at the 48 hour mark!

Until next time,
Arielle + Ryan

Hello everyone!

Thanks to all your support and sharing, the Black Dragon Hoard Keeper is officially joining the hoard! Behold, the glorious Lucy in all her dark draconic glory!

Now about those prototype photos… See the straps on her head? That’s our enthusiastic first stab at “backpack mode”. Consider it the first of our refinements. We plan on moving those straps a bit lower on the back of the head. It’s safe to say that all Dragon Hoard Keeper plushies will include straps for use as little backpacks or to simply hang around.

Look how happy she is, frolicking with her precious dice!

And here’s Apple calmly deciding on what game to play while Lucy just chills.



We’re still impatiently waiting on the little charm plush prototypes to arrive! We are vibrating with anticipation.



The Dragon Pin Hoarder: This is next! A glorious board that must hold all the pins. Does it have enough room? The Pin Hoarder’s best kind of agony!



After that, we look forward to Elaine the Blue Dragon Keeper.




And just look at this chill little charm plush just hanging out!


A Quick Reminder

If you missed the last unlock, make sure to check out the Skull Dragon Keeper and its hoard of mini skull pins in the add-on section. Perfect little counterparts to Lucy! 

We’ll see you again soon!

Goal Crushed! The Skull Keeper Dragon Pin is officially happening. This black croco-dragon’s skull collection consists of the finest skulls the world has to offer. Just look at that t-rex skull. Immaculate! We’re pretty sure they’ve even stashed a rare Ancient Artifact skull in there somewhere…

You can snag The Skull Keeper in the Add-ons section if it’s calling your name. Make sure you add it if you are looking to collect all the Dragon Keepers. This pin will also be available for choice among those already picking up a Dragon Keeper.


For those interested in the process, we will cover the design process in an upcoming newsletter. Join us there and check it out!

While designing this striking dragon, we doodled up a bunch of skulls. And then we got thinking…shouldn’t this bad boi have a proper hoard like the rest?

So, a small surprise: The Mini Pin Set: Skull Hoard! This set of four fabulous skulls is ready to join your collection. You can find it in the add-ons section, and it will also be a selection option among the available mini pin sets.

We’ll see you guys then!
