We’re excited to get back to vending at conventions and chatting with everyone, so we’re excited to announce that barring another serious variant, we’ll be at Washington State SummerCon this June!
We’re hoping to add another convention or two this year as well so stay tuned!

2020–the year of Covid-19 and crazy politics. After our event at NerdFaire in Lynnwood, WA, all of our events for the 2020 Year were cancelled.
You’re welcome to order from our online store but otherwise, we’ll be waiting this out with everyone else. Several of our events have already shifted to virtual for 2021. We’ll let you know when we start doing in person events again. 🙁

We noticed it had been a while since we’d updated the event calendar, which has now been updated to fully reflect 2019’s calendar. On that note, if you’re looking for a way to drown your sorrows that the man who was Chewbacca has died or celebrate this geeky weekend (May the 4th be with you, or possibly Revenge of the 5th, depending upon how you roll), come on out to Puyallup for the Geek Craft Market!
Books & Chains will be there Saturday with new books, art, and chainmaille jewelry! More details on the event can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/events/173227936896201

This past weekend was our first time vending at Rose City Comic Con in Portland, OR, and it was a blast! So much excellent cosplay (some of which you can see over on Raven’s Wrap-Up post), geeky people, and fun guests. We had quite a blast chatting with all of you! Here are some photos from our weekend:

Hero earrings, wallet chain, dragon “eggs,” candles, and Jesikah’s books to the left
Display books, the rest of the chainmaille jewelry (bracelets, necklaces, dice bags), candles, and Raven’s books. Plus swag bags!

We gave out 300 swag bags full of autographed goodies, coloring pages, and a chainmaille dangle made from maille that was created for NASA’s Mars Insight mission. The pieces were highly limited in quantity so those who got one were quite lucky!
R2D2 visited our booth!
Friday morning, an entire parade of R2 units that went by, which you can watch in Raven’s video below.
Photo Jesikah took of the R2’s paying tribute to the “dead robot” on the con floor.
Better shot of the robot.

Time to pack up and tear down!
And that’s a wrap! Until next time, Portland! (Which will be Geek the Halls in December!)
