Dearest Darklings,

I have a few events left in the vendor season, if you want to get a taste of the magic I encourage you to visit one of the following:

🖤September 13th - Rock Island Artist Market, 12-5 at Skeleton Key Antiques.
🖤September 19th - Boozy Book Fair, 12-5 at Wake Brewing.
🖤September 26th-27th - Greater QC Renaissance Faire at Credit Island Park.
🖤October 3-4th - Greater QC Renaissance Faire at Credit Island Park.
🖤October 11th - Rock Island Artist Market, 12-5 at Skeleton Key Antiques.
🖤October 17th - Dark Market, 12-5 at Wake Brewing.

This year has been a real nose grinder, I’ll spare you the dramatics. It’s hard to keep up right now for me. I’m going to be taking a break from vendor events and custom conjurings after October 17th. I do not know when I will return, but I am excited to have the space to try something new for a while.

This break will not impact already booked orders, those will still be fulfilled!

If you read this far I appreciate you for sticking with me, your support has been a beacon of light in the dark. I’ll see you soon.

Darkest Regards,

BMB 🖤

Dearest Darklings,

I want to extend a massive thank you to the wonderful ladies at Abernathy’s for choosing to support myself as well as Clock Inc through this glorious tribute!

Times have not been easy on any of us, and getting to be a part of this was a much needed ray of light in the dark for both Clock Inc and myself.

Darkest Regards,

BMB 🖤

Becky & Red, the powerhouse duo behind Abernathy's, really know how to top themselves. Every June, they donate a portion of that month’s sales to us here at Clock, and they always do it in style.

This year, they decided to make it edible courtesy of Black Magic Bakery !! ✨

Thank you so much for your badassery, your love, and your incredible support. We 🖤 Abernathy’s.
