After 10 years I finally joined a scrapping club, and 3 months later they are closing. My computer also died tonight and my heat pump is possessed... not a great evening. I am most sad about FF though😢

Oh no that is sad news indeed. Did they email subscribers? I didn't see an announcement in Instagram or their website. Maybe I missed it?

I liked their quality a lot but I felt their design choices were hard to use for some reason.

They are supposedly going to start making collection kits this summer... so not exactly leaving the industry. I just enjoyed the monthly happy mail aspect... and will miss it.

Oh, no! (About everything, but especially FF). I didn't buy much from them, but it's always sad to see a small business fold. And especially right after you finally sign up  Same thing happened to me with a couple of small local gyms. |

Loved their products but the international shipping is just crazy price.

Just checked their blog and it wont load...... That was the first thing I tried, too. I thought I was on their general mailing list, since I get sale announcements. I was guessing maybe the message went out to subbers first. |

I only bought a couple of older embellishment kits from FF ages ago but have used a bit of washi I think. Although I don’t use a lot of their products it’s sad to see anyone go.

NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Sobbing! No! Come back Freckled Fawn. I love Freckled Fawn. This is one of my favorite companies. I am so upset right now. I gave away all my Dear Lizzie items the other day. I thought to myself least I still have Freckled Fawn. I am going to have to break this to one of friends. She is going to drink a bottle of wine and sob over this news. Least we still have collection kits. Whatever that means. Poor Freckled Fawn, you didn't deserve this. Hugs to you breetheflea for your bad day. It is always the little things that pile up that make your days monstrous. Hope your computer can be fixed. If I was closer I would help.  Crossing fingers your heat pump will be an easy and cheap fix. |

Aw. That's too bad. I was going to re-sub once I used up a bunch of my stash.

That’s sad. Freckled Fawn was the first sub I ever joined back on when they started. I finally had to cancel after 3 years because I had so much stuff. I still have kits I haven’t opened up and used.

Sad indeed. I just did not open the email. It has been ages since I subbed from them.

I loved their flairs and puffy stickers. What a bummer.

Oh, dang. I never subbed to their kits because overall they didn't quite fit what I needed out of supplies, but I bought individual pieces. I just got a little delivery of random embellishments from them just last week and I've already used some. This sucks. I loved that they filled a niche.

Here's hoping it is going to become like pinkfresh. Stopped making kits to focus on retail lines and manufacturing for other small businesses.

I just didn't need a new roll of washi every month, I really liked their stuff, but couldn't commit to 12 new rolls of washi each year.

Maybe kit clubs should be careful about expanding? Gossamer Blue started a TN kit and about 4 months later shutdown.
Freckled Fawn started offering paper and journaling cards in October.
I like their stuff and got their kits for a while, but they started to just stack up so I canceled.
