The manor’s east wing, after dark. A members-only envelope from the parody
side of the house — rescued paintings, uninvited-yet-beloved pop-culture guests, lamplight, gilt,
and one gleeful secret a month.
First rule of the Hidden Gallery: absolutely tell everyone.
Nº 023is next through the door. 22 members already inside — numbers go in order of arrival; the prints themselves aren’t numbered or limited, only your spot on the roster is.
Postage included · arrives as a stamped letter (no tracking, just anticipation) · US only · cancel or pause anytime via your account — no exit interview, no guilt, no goodbye speech.

15OF THE MONTH
JOIN BY THE 15TH
The cutoff for that month’s envelope. Miss it and you simply start with next month’s — the door stays open.
✦SEALED & STAMPED
WAX & INTENT
A little ceremony at the work table. The dogs supervise.
20OF THE MONTH
SHIPS THE 20TH
Every month, to your door, postage included. It travels as a stamped letter — no tracking number, just a very good mail day. US only, for now.
✦ THE NOVEMBER ENVELOPE ✦
November’s print is still on the easel. Until the envelopes go out on the 20th, this is all the museum label is allowed to say.

ENVELOPE Nº 2 · COMING SOON
A brand-new painting, still wet.
Not one from the archive this time — November’s print is being painted for the Society. It stays under the sheet until the envelopes ship. Members see it first, on their own doormat; the rest of the house finds out when it retires to the Vault below.
Every envelope is a one-month-only edition of its print. Once a month has shipped, the print retires here, and the wall gets a little longer.

SHIPPED · A FEW STILL COLLECTIBLE
Pottsfield Harvest Festival
Wirt, Greg and Beatrice from Over the Garden Wall, painted into a rescued autumn barnscape (est. 1502, per the sign). The founding envelope — it also carried the very first Secret Society letter.

✦ QUESTIONS AT THE DOOR ✦
WHEN DOES MY FIRST ENVELOPE SHIP? +
Join by the 15th and that month’s envelope ships on the 20th. Join after
the 15th and yours starts the following month — anticipation builds character.
IS THE PRINT BRAND NEW EVERY MONTH? +
One print every month — sometimes fresh off the easel, sometimes a beloved
painting from the archive finally getting its 5x7 moment. The Society is a museum and a scene.
DO YOU SHIP OUTSIDE THE US? +
Not yet. The Society is domestic — US addresses only (for now).
CAN I CANCEL OR PAUSE? +
Anytime, right from your account. No exit interview, no guilt trip, no dramatic
candle-snuffing ceremony (unless you want one; that part’s BYO candle).
DO YOU TAKE COMMISSIONS? +
No. (This is the running joke and the answer, which makes it a very efficient joke.
The paintings choose their own guests. I just hold the brush.)
WHAT’S BEHIND THE OTHER DOOR? +
Sunlight, sparkle, and zero parody — Wander in Whimsy,
just across the hall. Same tiers, same dates, completely different weather.
CAN I JOIN BOTH CLUBS? +
Yes, and honestly the hallway loves the traffic. Two envelopes, both on the 20th —
see the two wings side by side.
The paintings have been told someone new is coming. Don’t make liars of them.
