Happy First Day of Spring! ❄️🌷
If you’re looking out the window in Newcastle today, you know the drill. Nature has a bit of a sense of humour, doesn’t it? It’s officially the first day of spring, but instead of flower petals, we’ve got heavy snow coming down.
While the world outside is turning into a marshmallow, the “Shack” is warm, the coffee is hot, and we are leaning into the contrast. If we can’t have garden blooms, we’ll make our own!
What’s New on the Workbench?
🦄 The Evolution of an Icon: Zoey’s New Look
First up, we have to talk about our girl Zoey the Unicorn. Zoey has been a staple of the Shack for a long time, but for 2026, she decided she was ready for a “glow-up.” She’s got a fresh new vibe that we think you’re going to fall in love she is the cuddliest version yet. You can find Zoey on our website shackintheback.ca
Whether the world outside is gray or white, the new Zoey is here to bring a much-needed pop of magic (and extreme softness) to your space.
🐉 Top Secret: The 2026 Hatchlings
Now, for the big question: What’s in the eggs? We are officially working on the 2026 Hatchling Line, but we aren’t ready to pull back the curtain just yet. Think of them as currently “incubating.”
We’ll be revealing the full brood soon, so make sure you’re following us—you won’t want to miss these guys.
🗓️ 2026 Event List: Almost Ready!
Despite the snow, market season is right around the corner. We are currently busy behind the scenes lining up our 2026 Event List.
We’re finalizing dates for our favourite local Ontario markets and a few new stops where we can finally get out and see you all in person. We’ll be posting the full schedule very soon, so keep an eye on shackintheback.ca/events
Thanks for being part of the Shack in the Back family. Whether it’s snowing or glowing, we’ve got some big things coming your way this year!
