We’re still in recovery from last night’s Temple Bar Night Market. The hot weather brought loads of people down into Temple Bar and there was a great buzz and atmosphere. It did turn a bit chilly around 9pm and we were all wishing for cardigans and jackets. 

A big Thank You to everybody called down to see us too. Some Twitter friends swung by and grabbed themselves some lovely badges which were exclusive to the market. Don’t worry though, we’ll be releasing them early next week. 

The team over in Temple Bar Company deserve a huge kudos for putting on the event. No doubt this event took months of planning and issues for them but it was a great success.

We’re hoping to be at the final Night Market on August 8th so watch this space!

The Singer sewing machine was whipped out over the weekend to make-up this lovely Herringbone apron. Just to finish off the last-minute prep for the Temple Bar Night Market in a few days and we’ll be good to go. Eeep!

Yup, we’ve taken the plunge and popping the market stall cherry. We’re happy to say that Head Minion and co. will be at the next Temple Bar Night Market on July 11th. We’ve even gotten a sign for the market stall too.

More to come soon!

A few weeks ago, we were contacted to make some lovely button badges for the Dot Conf taking place this Friday at the National College of Ireland. The badges turned out really well and are super cute too. The Dot Conf is four years old and tagged as a teddy bears picnic but with internet folk instead of bears. Hey, we’re all for picnics here.

We’ll be popping along this Friday and we’ll see you there!

The Head Minion was out of the office this week and of course, the minions ran rampant. You can see more of the minions antics over on Facebook too LINK.

Hello, I’m Ellie. Love me.

Dodger here. How you doing?

I’m Baby and I’m not here.

Holy schmoly! It’s been a while but we’ve got some news for you.

Firstly, we’re happy to say that new badges are being released today! Woo! You can pick up Tic Tac Toe (X’ an O’s) in blue, pink and purple LINK. Also we’ve a couple of new fabric badges of Ivy and Weave LINK. As usual the fabric badges are limited availability so first come first served folks! 

Last week we sponsored custom badges for the Social Media Awards LINK and we also made some fabulous badges for the fashionable folk over at Frillseeker LINK.

The lovely Frillseeker badges.

I’m a big lover of type. Serif; sans-serif; kerning, everything and anything. I’d been promising to visit the Ireland’s National Print Museum LINK or a long time and I finally got around to it this week. I had a bit of a wander trying to find Garrison Chapel in Beggar’s Bush Barracks and it was tucked away in a corner.

They’ve over a half-dozen presses, all reconditioned and in perfect working order. The sheer size of these machines is something to behold. The Shaw Pen ruling Machine is simply a goliath. Who thought pen ruling used to be so difficult? There’s a couple of pics below, but there’s an album on Facebook LINK.

The Head Minion’s been picked for jury duty this week so production will be delayed. Y’know cats away and the mice playing and all that jazz.

Back to form next week folks!
