Gilded Collection Arrives Nov 1st

The Gilded Collection arrives Nov 1st on thebarrierscroll.etsy.com, and it’s the first collection name picked by you all, the readers! It’s a beautiful name, Gilded! This collection was inspired by all the collectables I cherished as a child, like a lithograph print from an animated movie, or a magnet of one of my favorite books from the scholastic book fair!

gild·​ed
covered or tinged with gold or a golden color

In The Barrier Scroll, you’ll know that gold is a theme I use quite often in the story, it’s also the color of Oriole’s magic. The word Oriole itself comes from the Latin aureolus—a diminutive of aurum (gold)—which literally translates to “golden” or “the little golden one”. In the narrative, she is named after an oriole bird with beautiful black and gold plumage. So gilded is quite fitting here with this collection. Have a peek at the new collection, it’s one of my favorites yet:

Fable Collection Arrives March 15

On March 15th, the Fable Collection lands, and with it an all-new line of handcrafted candles, beautiful swirling potion bottles, and delicate jewelry designs. Every piece in this drop has been thoughtfully designed and made by hand, to ensure it feels true to the world of The Barrier Scroll while also celebrating the wider fantasy stories that have shaped and inspired me.

This Spring marks the unveiling of Gilded Apothecary by The Barrier Scroll. And this’ll be the first time I’m introducing new products under an apothecary line (like candles which are coming later this year and aesthetic potion bottles!), that I’ll continue expanding on!

So mark your calendars: Fable Collection arrives March 15. It’s going to be unlike anything you’ve ever seen from me and I can’t wait to share it with you!

‘Gilded Apothecary’ Coming in 2026


Achievement Unlocked! I’m unveiling The Barrier Scroll’s Gilded Apothecary candle line in Spring 2026.

Inspired by the world of The Barrier Scroll, the atelier will feature scents from places across the realm, as well as some popular characters. I’ll release more information later this year, but I’m very excited about this one.

More to come!
