Spooky season is upon us! While many are stocking up on candy for Halloween trick-or-treaters, did you know that October 31st is also Books for Treats Day?
Sure, a few kids might groan at a book instead of candy, but I imagine the parents or guardians tagging along will secretly appreciate spreading stories instead of cavities.
Better yet, why not dress up and visit your local library or hand out some banned books? Muahaha!
You'd think Halloween would be my favorite time of year with all the wearable armor and art I've created, but I've never been into the scary stuff. There's already enough fear in the world and I'd rather spend my time spreading joy and hope.
So, if you're like me and not into haunted houses, then treat yourself or a loved one to a good book:
Pair a Music Book, Favorite Book Pile or Hawthorn the Rabbit Pendant with any intricate metal bookmark to remind you of all the stories waiting patiently for you when the trick-or-treating ends.
Discount valid only for one pendant + one bookmark in your cart. Offer ends on 10/31/25 at 11:59 EDT. Join my Dreamer's Circle Newsletter to get early access to magical designs, special gifts & uplifting letters to help you stay inspired on your journey.
Gauntlet, Piano, and Lyre Bookmarks
What else am I working on?
I'm still refining the six new ring designs that will be joining the Dreamer and Wonderlands Collections. There are a lot of sizes to work through!
Each ring will also be joining one of six new Dreamer Archetypes, which will weave together the masks, armor, and jewelry into a more cohesive Lumecluster realm.
While I can't share the full stories yet, here's a sneak peek at the six Dreamer Archetypes taking shape:
- The Guardian
- The Luminary
- The Storykeeper
- The Wanderer
- The Creator
- The Alchemist
I can't wait to introduce you to each of them over time. Until then, may your Halloween preparations be filled with sweet stories, cozy reading corners, and zero jump scares.
Stay safe <3

P.S. What are you reading right now and why? I'm reading Robert B. Reich's Coming Up Short: A Memoir of My America to find some understanding, comfort, and hope as I keep moving forward.
