All things forgotton

The last few weeks have been a bit hectic around our way so the old blog has suffered a bit. I'm going to do a longer post with a bit more information on it to make up for the lack posts in the last little while.



First up, we were feature seller on Etsy a few weeks back. It is almost four years since I started my first Etsy shop so this was pretty exciting for me. It was also a busy few days with some late nights, lots of packing as well as discovering that this Father's Day card may well be one of our most popular cards to date.



With our interview we got to chose our 5 favourite films, books, music and websites. I think we had too many favourite things so our five favourite websites didn't get included and I just wanted to put them here because they really do deserve a mention:

Next up, one of our card 'models' has a new facebook page. Many of you know him as the Mix Tape guy. He is kinda cool, kinda aloof and likes to spend a lot of time getting his hair to look just right.

Turns out his name is Archie Cassette and you can make friends with him on Facebook. His page is only new, he resisted the urge to join until he realised he had an ex girlfriend who required some stalking. Archie likes to think of himself as a bit of a man about town and last year he went to Poland for a conference, but I will let you look him up to find out why.

This weekend is Brisbane Finders Keepers and it is going to be a wow of a time! We have some new card designs ready to go and are looking forward to visiting some of our Brisbane stockists while we are up there.

Gareth and I are spending a few extra days in Brisbane, so if any of you QLD folk have some suggestions on things to do and see, please send them our way. It is the first time I've been to Queensland and I have a feeling I wont want to leave due to the weather being just a bit warmer than here in Melbourne.

Details for the market are:

Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th June
BRISBANE FINDERS KEEPERS
When: 11am - 6pm
Where: The Old Museum
Cnr Bowen Bridge Road & Gregory Terrace, Herston
