New Enamel Pins for Book Lovers, Nature Nerds & Texas Girls
Some people collect hobbies. Some people collect tiny things that announce those hobbies to strangers.
I am, apparently, making products for the second group.
The newest Acorn & Artisan enamel pins have officially landed, and this launch is full of the kinds of designs I love making most: bookish creatures, nature-inspired details, Texas wildlife, flowers, moths, and a few wonderfully specific little objects that feel like personality tests in enamel form.
If you have ever looked at a raccoon reading a book, a boot full of poppies, or a roadrunner in prickly pear and thought, “That is so me,” this collection is for you.

For the readers whose TBR has become a personality trait
The bookish side of this launch may be the easiest category to recognize yourself in.
There is the Trashy Little Reader Raccoon, the upside-down Reading Opossum, and My TBR Has Lore—which feels less like a joke and more like a factual description of what happens once your to-be-read pile has been growing for several years.
These are the kinds of enamel pins made for tote bags, jackets, book bags, and the person who always brings a book “just in case.”
Tiny things for people with very specific interests
Not every interest needs to make sense to everyone else.
Maybe your camera roll is mostly flowers you noticed on walks. Maybe you like tiny lucky objects. Maybe you saw an armadillo one day and thought, “That is basically a croissant.”
The Taking Pictures of Flowers pin, For Good Luck Bottle, and other tiny oddities in this launch are for people who like accessories that feel less generic and more like an inside joke about who they are.
A little more flower in your yeehaw
Western-inspired accessories do not have to mean brown-on-brown-on-brown.
The newest cowgirl boot pins lean into color: strawberries, florals, poppies, soft blues, pinks, and the general belief that a cowboy boot can absolutely double as a flower vase.
They are Texas-inspired without feeling like the same souvenir you have seen a hundred times before.
For the people who stop to look at things
One of my favorite kinds of person is the one who cannot simply walk past something interesting outside.
A moth on the porch light? Stop. A weird flower growing beside the trail? Stop. A bird making a noise you have never heard before? Obviously stop.
The Cosmic Moth and Outside Is My Happy Place pins are for exactly that person—the one who is happiest when there is something outside worth noticing.
Texas, but make it wildlife
When we moved to Texas, one thing I noticed quickly was how much more interesting the actual wildlife is than most Texas souvenir shelves would have you believe.
Yes, there are boots and stars. But there are also roadrunners weaving through prickly pear, rabbits tucked into bluebonnets, moths, snakes, wildflowers, and birds everywhere.
The Texas Roadrunner & Prickly Pear and Texas White-Tailed Rabbit & Bluebonnet designs are my version of a Texas keepsake: colorful, nature-forward, and based on the things that actually make me stop and look.
Why enamel pins make such good small gifts
One of the reasons I keep coming back to enamel pins is that they are small enough to be easy gifts but specific enough to feel personal.
You do not need to know someone’s clothing size, home color palette, or exact taste in decor. You just need to know the thing that makes them light up.
The reader. The bird person. The friend who photographs every flower. The one with a little bit of yeehaw. The nature nerd who is always pointing something out on a walk.
The best small gifts are the ones that make someone say, “You saw this and thought of me, didn’t you?”
Exactly.
