Done. OMG. Finally done. The last of it is packed, and we are about to drop it off. Thank you to everyone for your patience.
If that’s your order number, please check your inbox. We’ve resent the invoice. If you no longer want that item, please let us know and we will ship your order as is.
If you missed out on this terrible adventure, a limited run of vellum will be available with the holiday drop. It will be prepacked, so it will go out immediately. The quantity will be very small. We have less than 200 sticker sheets left and even less maps, and we are not reprinting those.
If your order arrived damaged, please email us through the store: store at ilona-andrews.com. We have insured all packages, and we will issue a replacement.
Done. Finally.
First?
First certified!
Does being first get you something??
It gets pride of accomplishment, Jamie. Acknowledged by either Mod R or Ilona, depending who is running things that day. And, of course, the envy of your peers. There isn’t much better than that. 😉
…I assume now is a bad time to ask about Vellum for Europe/Non-US? XD just kidding <3
Enjoy the feeling of being DONE!
I follow this in a very chalant way.
Same here. I’m a bit frustrated, to be honest, because I followed the strongly stated advice not to buy from outside the US (I could have asked a friend in the US to forward them) because I relied on the option for Europe being for real, just delayed. Now it says that the stickers and maps won’t be reprinted and with time zones and everything I kind of doubt I will be able to snag one of those 200. Don’t get me wrong, I understand that this has been a lot more stressful than expected, but right now I really wish I’d just ordered a set, never mind what was said about waiting if you’re outside the US.
Hi Stephanie,
We will not reprinting things for US. We are still trying to sort out the EU situation. We haven’t been able to find anyone who would be willing to handle the fulfillment. So we are kind of stuck: we can ship to Europe, but it will cost the readers and arm and a leg and then there are tariffs.
I even tried to go through POD marketplaces and I can’t even get the stickers printed in Europe. I am very frustrated.
Is the UK included in Europe? Or are we marooned in post-Brexit purgatory? If so, is there any chance of buying when you’re in London next year?
Hi Ilona,
Thank you very much for replying.
Just a thought: Have you tried asking The Broken Binding? They usually do fulfillment for books for other publishers, but who knows, they might get on board with other stuff, too. They also sometimes sell dustjackets or do prints, so shipping something other than books wouldn’t be entirely new to them.
Fingers crossed very firmly, I would love to buy this and am rather frustrated with myself for not seizing the opportunity when they were available in the US, never mind forwarding etc.
Have a good weekend!
Congrats on being able to cross that off your todo list.
Congratulations on finishing! And thanks for providing such cool things for the BDH.
+1! 🤗
You’re on a roll this week! First the edits, then the vellum! Hopefully you are also actually resting like you said you would be…. No burned out authors on the BDH’s watch!

This! So much this!

Yay! 🎉🥳🎉
I don’t remember do you ship them abroad ?
Thanks
Currently, the store is US-only 🙂
Will the holiday shop be US-only as well?
😭
Yay! I’m so excited for other merch stuff when you reopen!
Me too. This may not happen, but I’m hoping for another Roman mug run (say that 5 times fast). The one I had broke right after I moved into my new apartment. 😭
It’s ok if that was a one and done thing when Sanctuary came out.
I’ve been waiting on ability to even mugs, having missed the last window. Fingers crossed!
Take a deep breath!
Thank you again so much for doing the vellum, maps and stickers! It’s been really amazing to be able to make my hardcover in the it’s own special edition ❤️
Congratulations! 🎉🍾 I can’t wait to get mine. Thank you for all the hard work!
Victory to you!
Somehow I ordered two packages of vellum, stickers, maps, etc. by mistake so I have an extra I would be willing to send to someone overseas. If your name is Nancy, even better because the signed bookplate will be for you. But even if not, let me know, I’m not sure about giving personal info like address here, but maybe modR can be a go between.
Hey Nancy, I would be very keen to help you with the second set of vellum. I’m in NZ so have been unable to participate with the great Vellum order. I am more than happy to send you money for the cost of shipping and the order, if you are able to let me know.
Hopefully ModR is able to facilitate getting contact details.
Thank you for offering!

Celebrate the end of vellum hell. 🎉🎊🍾
Happy dance.
That reads weird, but whatever. Congratulations on finishing the orders.
You all work so hard at House Andrews! Thanks for the great stories and merch.
the vellums are LOVELY, thank you for indulging me
A very enthusiastic congratulations!!! You made it through to the end and are a stronger and probably more tired version of yourself 😉. But seriously. We appreciate you all so much!!
Do we know a rough estimate of when the shop will reopen? Just want to get an idea so I can make sure I don’t miss out 🙂
Yeah!
Relax! Knit and consume tea! Relax! Knit some more! You are amazing!
Congratulations!!! Now time to relax!
Aaaand … now House Andrews knows why they are probably the first best-selling authors ever to have offered vellum insert illustrations as optional extras for readers to add to their already-purchased hardcover books… And why no other best-selling authors (including them) will ever do it again….
Seriously, I have felt for the last while like I was watching episodes of an endless TV soap opera called “As the Vellum Churns”….
Incidentally, this coming weekend is Thanksgiving in Canada. Maybe it will be Thanksgiving in a small corner of Texas too?
John, I’m not sure where you’re getting the idea that no other bestselling authors offer vellum overlays 🙂
Or for that matter that House Andrews will never do so again – the post you’re commenting on explicitly states that another limited run will be available with the holiday merch drop.
Yes, and I believe the key words for House Andrews next offering were “prepackaged” and “very limited run”…. 🙂
I am so grateful for this endeavor and love mine! Thank you for doing this for us, amidst writing and your regular life!
Congratulations!!
You’re amazing! Thank you!
Congratulations on completing the great vellum adventure! How many experience points does one get for that?
So happy for you, and thank you for indulging the Horde with the vellum. You guys spoil us 💕
Congrats on this accomplishment. Enjoy some down time before going full-steam ahead on another project.
Congratulations!
You and your family have suffered through this; I’m sad you had to experience all the upsets from doing it …and I am grateful that I got the opportunity to have a physical part of your world.
The entire package was amazing.
Thank you!
Please take care of yourselves. I’d rather you be rested and healthy than to ever put yourselves through this chaos again.
I’d blame Steve, but he’s not alone.
congratulations on what I’m guessing is the best tick on a to-do list 🙂
It is Thanksgiving in Canada this weekend and I think HA should celebrate both Canadian and US holidays to get some time off!
I just want to say thank you for doing all of this. I love my vellum, stickers, and map. The map is my favorite. I hope if you do another map that you make that available too. I framed mine for my This Kingdom shelf (I have enough of the special editions to merit its own shelf LOL, plus I framed the map and Louisa’s artwork of Maggie and the French Maggie cover). This is my favorite book/world and I love the extras you have brought to us! Thank you!
When is the holiday drop?
When will the store reopen? I’m desperate to get some stickers for my daughter in laws Christmas stocking.
Awesome! Got my email that mine is on the way! Can’t wait! Thanks for all the work to make the BDH extra happy with vellums!
I know these were a lot of work and just wanted to say thank you So much!!!! I love my overlays so much, and the stickers and everything!!!
Thank you!!!!
Congratulations on a job well done! I love my vellums, am planning to frame the first set for my craft room, the second set for the book. I’d order again any time, but will let other customers have a shot at it.
Yay!!! What an amazing effort HA.
Mine arrived a couple weeks back. I almost had a heart-attack when I saw how my post-person placed it in the box and crimped the corner.
But the vellum was in great shape! A slightly curled corner. Whew!
As frustrating as all the testing may have been, the shipping reinforcement worked great. 👍👍
I’m so happy for you all!
