Looking for Sample Icons
Feb. 7th, 2026 06:55 pmI'm getting ready to post the next challenge in
fandom10in30, but I need sample icons for the theme. The theme is "Hearts N Flowers." If you have icons you think fit the theme or can steer me toward some, please comment with image and unformatted link on this post.
Remember: The above-mentioned community does not consider stock alone fandom. Sorry, but that rule was created before I agreed to help moderate.
Anyone who helps will get thanked in the community post, and the icon makers will get proper credit (of course!).
Thank you in advance for any help.

New Medieval Quote book!
Feb. 7th, 2026 07:52 amI'm excited to announce I'm partnering with InHouse Publishing for the rest of the little Medieval Wisdom Quote books set.
The
y're family owned and operated right here in Brisbane, (and have been for 25 years) employing local people. What this means for me, is that my little medieval quote set books can be ordered and sent out directly from their web shop and they'll handle my distribution for shops. I'll be announcing pre-orders for Medieval Household Hints: Advice of Running a Household From The Middle Ages Which You Still Need Today early next week, so keep an eye out for that!
Best for me is that along with the ones they'll be publishing for me, they'll be adding my first one in the set, Medieval Wisdom for Modern Women, to their book store as well and adding it to their new catalogue, so potentially it opens up a whole new reach for me.
Local sales have been well supported, but getting the book into shops has been a lot harder as an individual. Having an established publisher behind the new releases will lend a bit more street cred to the releases.
Pre-orders will go live early next week and the fantastic thing about this is there's no Amazon involved. The physical copies of books will be around four weeks (or slightly less) and I've had the guided tour through their facility and can confirm that any pre-orders will be honoured right up front (unlike the first book Amazon pre-orders which got cancelled and disappointed a lot of people and they had to re-order.)
