What’s in the envelope

Five small things, made with care.

  • Resident art card

    A 5×7 card-stock print of the month's painting. On the back: the resident's number, birthday, star sign, job in the village, and friends.

  • Tales from Budderlee

    A chapter of the village story, told through that month's resident. Each one picks up where the last left off.

  • Recipe card

    A tested, original recipe with the character's stamp on it. The pie maker gets a pie.

  • Surprise sticker

    A professionally printed die-cut sticker. Different every month.

  • A note from Barbara

    A welcome in your first package, and a thank-you in every one after.

  • Founding Member sticker

The waitlist

Be first in line when signups open.

Leave your email and you'll hear from Barbara before anyone else when signups open. The first 100 subscribers are all she can pack in a month, so the waitlist goes first.

No charge, no commitment. One email when signups open, and the Founding Member sticker in your first package.

This list is only for The Budderlee Post. It’s separate from the studio newsletter.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

When does the first package ship?
The first mailing is planned for November 2026. Packages go out in the first week of each month.
How does the monthly timing work?
Subscribe on or before the 15th of a month and the next mailing is yours. Subscribe after the 15th and your first package is the one after that. Either way, your card is only charged for packages you'll receive.
Can I cancel or pause?
Yes, any time, from a link in your emails. No phone calls, no forms. Cancel before the cutoff and you won't be charged again.
Do you ship outside the United States?
Not yet. U.S. addresses only to start, with shipping included in the price. Canada is on the list to look at once the first few mailings have gone out.
What does it mean to be a founding member?
Everyone on the waitlist who subscribes when signups open is a founding member and gets an exclusive Founding Member sticker in their first package. It's a one-time design that won't be printed again.
