Sylvan Sidekicks: Official Facebook Drop!

*UPDATE*: All of these have found their forever homes! We appreciate everyone's enthusiasm and we hope to do another Facebook drop later this season! If there's another item of ours you'd like us to feature in a drop like this one, let us know!

The official adoption window is now OPEN! A small handful of Sylvan Sidekicks made it through our busy weekend at the Colorado Renaissance Festival and are ready to find their forever homes.

HOW TO ADOPT RIGHT NOW:

Find Your Match: Check out the photos below to see the available Sidekicks, each clearly numbered (e.g., #1, #2, #3).

Comment to Claim: To adopt, you must comment directly on this main post with the number you want (e.g., "Claiming #2!"). Comments are public and timestamped, making this the fairest, first-come, first-served way to handle it. Please comment on the main post thread only—comments on individual photos will not be seen! *To give as many folks a chance as possible, adoption claims are limited to one per person for the first 15 minutes. If any are left at 11:15 AM EDT, multiple claims are welcome!*

PRICING:

Solo Sylvan Sidekicks: $48 + shipping
Sylvan Sidekick Pairs: $88 + shipping

(Note: We will mark items as SOLD in the description below as invoices are processed. If an invoice isn't paid within 24 hours, that number will go back up for grabs! Feel free to claim one that's already been claimed to get on the "waitlist" in case the invoice for that one doesn't get paid.)

#1: *SOLD!* pair of brown maple leaf Skirt Keepers - blue eyes with slit pupils, belt loop will fit up to a 3" belt

Sylvan Sidekicks: Official Drop Preview!

​HOW IT WILL WORK TOMORROW:

​Find Your Match: Tomorrow's post will look much like this one and will feature photos of the available Sidekicks, each clearly numbered (e.g., #1, #2, #3).

​Comment to Claim: To adopt, you must comment directly on tomorrow's main post with the number you want (e.g., "Claiming #2!").

The Sylvan Sidekicks are BACK in stock! 🎉

It’s been a minute since our first batch at the Arizona Renaissance Festival, but we finally have a fresh group of these leather characters ready for you.

​Currently available:
​👗 Skirt Keepers (to keep your garb perfectly tucked)
​🔔 Sentinel Bells (to ward off bad vibes and look great doing it)

​Note: Mug wardens are still in the works but should be joining the crew soon! 🤞

​Grab yours before they wander off!

EDIT: Wow, the Sylvan Sidekicks are getting so much love! Thank you all! 🌲✨

We’ve received a lot of questions about online availability. Since Colorado is one of our busiest festivals, we try to keep as much inventory as possible in the booth to keep it well stocked. Because of this, we can't take orders or hold pieces in advance.

However, because the response to these has been overwhelmingly positive, we want to give these guys a chance to find homes if they miss their match at the faire! After we've wrapped up this weekend, if any are still available, we will post some of the Sylvan Sidekicks that made it through the weekend and are available to be shipped.

Keep an eye on our page Tuesday morning—if you see one you love in that post, follow the instructions in that post to claim it! They'll be first-come, first-served.

Seeing Double? 👁️👁️

Meet the conjoined G-wok: one face, two bodies, and absolutely double the trouble! We think this unique little trouble maker was inspired by our current schedule because we are also living a double life right now!

We are officially running shops at two incredible festivals simultaneously, but the clocks are ticking:

🎪 Scarborough Renaissance Festival: Only 2 weekends left!
🎪 Tennessee Renaissance Festival: Only 3 weekends left!
Whether you are hanging out with us in Texas or visiting Melissa and Doug in Tennessee, come find your own one-of-a-kind companion before the season slips away.
