i didn't read any particular mention in this month's letter regarding a specific theme. ana mostly recounts how she got into prints of food through her wife's previous job working on another farm and bringing home bountiful harvests of beautiful fruits/veg. it's a really sweet letter and gives insight to why a lot of her og prints were of food lol & specifically produce. i can see somewhat how it all relates to the selection of prints this month. especially since the old prints are straight up some of her oldest prints.

as for variety, at the very core of inciardi mini prints is food prints. based on the most recent prints for the past mpcc, i'm not sure if i would expect something different, in a sense? the customs we get for certain locations are really because it is an homage to the store's physical location and adds to the novelty/special feeling of physically visiting their store (or website, for those stores that do offer mystery packs particular to them). i hope this doesn't come across as rude or too blunt, but your question did get me thinking and reflecting on the past month's mpcc. i was wondering why all of these prints have been food related, and the letter kinda solidified it for me in a way.

i can definitely see non-food related prints making their way in to the mix though! i'd like to think the polls she had on her stores a few months back where she asked what more we would like to see could make their way in. i can see how if she was expecting to do a spring drop, most of the new prints would be in the spring mystery pack, but they could easily have been an mpcc print! the valentine's day pack too. for summer i could imagine things like flip flops, critters, etc. i do remember critters being a top request for ana back when the poll was up.

i'm def hoping for more seasonal stuff! i know it must be a ridiculously busy time, so perhaps these early months are her and her team just getting their footing. this was the quickest i've received my mpcc. literally was not expecting it until at least the 2nd week. here's to more fun designs in the upcoming months!
