POPULARITY
First off, some important announcements: We'll be at Emerald City Comic Con and C2E2! If you'll also be there, please come say hi or visit one of our panels. Second, our Patreon is newly revamped and has an EXCLUSIVE gift for anyone who joins in March: An “And Peggy” enamel pin! Head to patreon.com/sartorialgeek to get your hands on that. This week we're chatting with someone all the way on the other side of the world: our friend Kit Cronk! Her shop is like the Australian cousin to Jordandene: geeky and bookish home goods and accessories. If you like the kinds of things that come out at Jordandene, you should absolutely check out kitcronk.com. Kit and I actually met through a business circle (shout out to Boss Project - fellow business owners, you should check out their resources!). We've been obsessed with each other's shops. Kit has a rotating mug of the month, similar to our shirt of the month, which is absolutely lovely. AND so many super cute Harry Potter accessories with hidden nerdy details. Kit also has an exciting project going on right now: her FemiNerd Collection on Kickstarter! It's the perfect place to shop for yourself or for the younger ladies in your life. It reached its goal in the first few days of being launched, but there are still rewards to get and super cool stretch goals only available on Kickstarter. Lastly, because Kit is a true book fan, she gives me so many great recommendations of books that I'll probably never read. BUT I am making a commitment to listen to at least one book each month on Audible (which you can get a free trial with our link audibletrial.com/sartorialgeek), and I'm going to start with some of the fantasy recommendations from Kit! Thanks again for listening this week - we're so thankful for your support. If you'd like to help our magazine keep going, we would love if you could subscribe to our quarterly issues. We also have a ton of fun and exclusive rewards on Patreon and appreciate any of the non-financial ways you could help us grow (tell a friend, leave a review, share one of our blog posts, follow us online). Have a great week and stay nerdy! Join our Patreon for bonus gifts and content!Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/sartorial-geek. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
