We’re okay! No damage to the house/workshop. One of the little horse huts in the field lost its top and the oldest barn had part of the roof come up a little… there are lots of branches down but nothing huge, and all the living things out here are fine. We also miraculously have power! Hooray for AC!
The shop will remain closed for a time, however, because the roads are currently impassable due to fallen branches and flooding. I imagine packages may get delayed even once local issues are cleared, because other areas of the state got hit way worse than we did.
Thank you to everyone who sent well-wishes, and to everyone else who was in Irma’s path, I hope you all are safe! ❤

Why is micro Rei so expensive if its only the size of a squishy??
It’s about half an inch bigger than a squishy and surprisingly, occupies a considerably higher volume of silicone! It’s pretty amazing how much of a difference that .5 inch makes.
It’s also priced higher because:
-Complex mold that usually wrecks the master print in order for me to extract it safely without damaging the mold. Printing material used is neither cheap nor fast to replace.
-Individually poured in a unique firmness not used on dildos, whereas Guardians/Dicklets are generally made alongside other products. More time spent overall on each Rei… virtually identical to any other two color, full size toy!
-Rei is both slightly larger and heavier than two pocket penetrable models I own from another company, priced only slightly higher than a single-color toy from said company.
-Danger of breaking mold core (thus forcing me to discard a solid silicone mold) every time I cast a Rei. I broke one after just two castings.
(Bronze/Black Rei is a mold murderer!)
Updates
I strongly doubt that I will have my April Fool’s thing done for the actual day. I still want to release it for a limited time, however, and see how it’s received. If people actually like it, it could become a permanent addition.
I’m also doubtful that my Easter plans will come to fruition, but I do still want to release it belatedly if I can. I’d say “as a generic spring event” but it involves tiny Easter “baskets” so it’s not that generic.
Take all of this with a grain of salt. The only near-certainty is delays, though it’s possible I may not do these events at all, depending on how the family situation goes.
With that out of the way, I’d like to take a moment to just say one more thing:
Thank you so much to all of you who have sent my family well-wishes and support. These are incredibly hard times, but your kind words mean more to us than you know.
I never thought I would utter a phrase remotely like: “Hey, Grandma, there’s a bunch of people on my sex toy shop’s blog sending you their love and wishing you well”, but that’s a thing that’s happened. Y’all are the best.
