TBB: August. That's the title.

The Beast Boutique The Beast Boutique

Happy August, and welcome back to TBB’s newsletter! Full transparency, I wrote this yesterday, so we are vibing with no polish this month.

A quick July recap: stuff happened, but a lot of it was boring, behind-the-scenes stuff, like planning my Renaissance Faire to-do list. There’s also been a lot of lying on the couch and melting; it’s been too hot to move or think.

  1. Of note, I did a trip to see family, had a 30th birthday with watermelon instead of cake, and was very spoiled for my whole birthday weekend~

two black cat figurines popping out of small, them-sized pumpkins. On the let, the cat has green eyes and is bleping. On the right, the cat has orange eyes. The image has been edited with emojis. They're both wraing orange and blue party hat emojis; the green-eyed cat is holding a wine glass, and the orange-eyed cat has a slice of cake and a fork.

In between them, in curly orange lettering outlined in blue are the words "Party Time!"

I don’t have a good way to integrate this pic; I just wanted to share, lol.
  1. We’re working on fixing our big pop-up tent in time for the ren faire, and making the decorations for it. Hopefully I’ll have an update to share on that in next month’s newsletter

And with that, we’re in August!

Regarding the MotM, we were GOING to release either a remastered figurine or an entirely new one this month (I wanted to do a unicorn), but we did not actually make either of those things, so the Sleeping Bears are making a reappearance!

Three bear sculptures, laying down with gently sloped backs. Clockwise from top left: A Stardust Bear with glitterific metallic blue, purple and pink colors soflty blended for a skylike effect. Top Right is a Blue bear with gold dot pattern. Bottom most is an autumnal bear with a bright orange sky with the silhouette of leafless trees. Very October.

uhh, hyperlink to buy bears or smth

As far as shows, we’ll be vending at the Beer Festival at El Rancho de Las Golondrinas on August 8th and 9th. Tickets are on sale now if you’re interested in attending.

Flyer that reads "Santa Fe Beer Festival, August 8th & 9th | Noon-6pm, El Rancho de Las Golondrinas, The Southwest's Premier Living History Museum" The flyer pictures a nicely lit and composed cup of foamy beer in a clear cup.

(Don’t forget to grab tickets to the Las Golondrinas Renaissance Faire in September too! This event often sells out!)

Finally, happy birthday to Char’s mom and baby sister!

Thanks for reading, and we’ll catch you next time!

- Chet (and Char, who says hello!)
