We’re Sara and Jennie - co-founders, local artists and besties!You may have spotted us vending at craft fairs, Pride festivals, anime conventions and more - around New England and beyond - over the past 10 years.
Sara works in a variety of styles to create fun and whimsical illustrations that reflect their love of telling stories, cute creatures, and nature. Whether it be tasty treats or magical ducks, Sara aspires to create illustrations that people can relate to, be inspired by, and fall in love with!
Jennie (DBA Cambrasine) is an illustrator, printmaker, and product designer from Massachusetts. She primarily works digitally but enjoys experimenting with various styles and mediums.

info & faq
✧ You closed?! Why did you leave The Garage? ✧
Trinket Planet's first brick-and-mortar pop-up location existed at The Garage in Harvard Square from December 2025 through July 2026.We are grateful for the opportunity to pop up in such an iconic location that is nostalgic on a personal level. We're endlessly thankful to our supporters, and for the community we built in our time there.This first pop-up always intended as a pop-up - a temporary arrangement. We chose to continue past our initial six-month lease, but eventually were informed we had to make room for a new small business to enjoy the same opportunity.But fear not - this is not the end for Trinket Planet!
✧ Where can we find you next? ✧
While we do not currently have a new pop-up space lined up, we intend to continue our journey in brick-and-mortar retail in the future and are keeping an eye out for future possibilities.What we do currently have planned is a bunch of in-person events and workshops! Check our calendar for more info.
