Friday Chaos Drop: Journals, Tropes, Shiny Math Rocks & Swirling Cores (+ Occoquan Countdown!)
Hello, beloved bookwyrms and dice goblins! Today’s release is a four-pack of delight: Reading Journals, Printed Trope Totes, Acrylic Dice (53 styles!), and Liquid Core Dice (16 styles!)—aka everything you need to read chaotically, carry confidently, and roll dramatically.
The Schedule Gremlin (a.k.a. Friday Releases)
We’re keeping our Friday drops rolling. We aim for 10:00 a.m.—but life happens, familiars knock things over, printers demand snacks, etc. Today’s release landed by 11:30 a.m. We’ll continue aiming for 10:00 a.m. going forward.
It won’t be earlier. And we can’t promise it won’t occasionally be later. Thanks for rolling with us. 💜
Occoquan Countdown: 2 Weeks!
We’re two weeks away from Occoquan—and we’re bringing a hand-picked selection of everything in this post so you can shop in person. Come touch the totes, flip the journals, and watch the liquid cores swirl in the sunlight. If you’ve been waiting to choose your shiny math rocks IRL, this is your moment.
Reading Journals (and a heartfelt PSA)
Your new quest logs for literature are here: Reading Journals to track TBRs, favorite quotes, trope sightings, star ratings, mood reading, and those feral 2 a.m. theories. Pair them with stickers and a good pen and you’ve basically got main-character paperwork.
Incoming restocks (next few weeks)
A few more Reading Journals are on order.
Wood bookmarks, wood notepads, wood journals, and refills are also coming back.
Important note about Bumble & Birch
This will be our last run of Bumble & Birch wood goodies—Bri has closed down. We’ll miss her craft dearly and wish her all the best in future adventures. Don’t miss out: once these are gone, they’re truly gone.
Printed Book Trope Tote Bags
Carry your literary allegiance like a banner into battle (or the farmers market). From Enemies to Lovers to Star-Crossed to “The Book Was Better,” our totes are sturdy, comfy-strapped, and conversation-starting. Built for hardbacks, snacks, and audacity.
Why you’ll love them
Heavyweight cotton that actually hauls
Bold, crispy prints that hold up
Perfect for: library runs, con days, and showing your trope bias with zero subtlety
Acrylic Dice — A Cache of Styles in Alchemist Vials
Classic 7-piece polyhedral sets (standard 20mm d20), delivered in cork-stoppered glass vials with a wax seal—because dramatic entrances matter. From Astral Sea to Shadowfell, choose the vibe that matches your class, campaign, or current gremlin energy.
Highlights
Smooth, reliable rolls (and that satisfying click-clack)
Gorgeous colors, marbles, and sparkles
Gift-ready presentation right out of the box (er… vial)
Liquid Core Dice — A TROVE OF Hypnotic Styles
Steal the table’s focus with liquid-core 7-piece sets that swirl when you roll. Same glass-vial + wax-seal packaging for peak wizard vibes.
Quick FAQ
“What’s the little bubble?” When the cores are molded, heat creates a small bubble inside the liquid. It moves constantly, so it shouldn’t affect balance in play.
Important Weather PSA
Like all liquids, liquid cores can freeze and expand. To avoid cracks or leaks, please wait to order until your weather warms up.
We’ll do our best to check temps before shipping, but we’re not responsible for damage from freezing conditions. We promise—they’re worth the wait!
What to do next
Shop today’s drop: journals, trope totes, acrylic dice, liquid cores—go nuts, goblins.
Set a reminder: Friday releases aim for 10:00 a.m. (never earlier, sometimes later).
Plan an adventure: come see us in two weeks at Occoquan for an in-person treasure hunt.
Snag the wood goods: final Bumble & Birch run + refills arriving soon—once gone, gone forever.
Thanks for cheering on our small, chaotic shop. May your TBR be brave, your tote be sturdy, and your dice roll like destiny. 🎲📚✨
