Dear Dreamer,
October is National Book Month, which makes it the perfect time to preview the second layer of armor for the November 8th release. This one's expanding on the love of books, libraries, and the quiet strength of a well-read mind.
Books and libraries were where I found whole new worlds when I felt isolated or alone. It's for this reason that we created our first book designs in the 2025 Wonderlands Collection and why we decided to create more. Especially now, with Banned Books Week beginning tomorrow, October 4th.
Literacy rates are falling and books are being pulled from shelves, erasing vital stories and perspectives that can change people's lives. A library is one of the last places left where you can freely explore new worlds and ideas and it felt increasingly urgent to create designs to remind us of these havens.
Our first book designs in 2025 (the Favorite Book Pile Pendant, the Storybook Pendant, and the Personal Library Bookshelf, Lifelong Learner, and Renewal Rings) are now expanding into the Personal Library earrings, bracelet, and a small Travel Journal Pendant:
The upcoming Travel Journal Pendant is a small extension of the Storybook Pendant for lighter wear as a reminder that the stories worth protecting aren't just the ones we read, but the ones we go out and live.
The Personal Library Bookshelf bracelet and earrings brings the same promise to cherish the knowledge gained and the challenges overcome, and to hold them in your memory like a well-loved collection on your shelves.
These additions were created not only as an homage to books but as a reminder to keep our worlds from shrinking.
So, if you want to do a little something to protect books today, maybe think about renewing your library card, sharing your favorite book with someone you love, or forward this email to a friend.
I'll be back soon with more to share each week as we approach November 8th.
Keep on reading <3
