This little guy is one of my favourites, despite his unfortunate hairstyle and funny knees. I think it is his eyes, he looks a little sad and shy, but he is rocking the primary coloured outfit pretty well I think. I saw a man walk by in an all green outfit on Sunday at the Arts Centre Market. He had green pants, a green argyle jumper and green shoes and it was such a great outfit, I wish I had a street fashion blog just to take a picture of him. This lovely guy is available on Etsy for you to send to someone you might be eyeing off.
So my sister is coming up with some good engagement cards, this was her second suggestion. I was thinking about what to have for the image, and thought of the little goldfish in the tank. I asked Hollie if the fishtank was a good idea at Rose Street on Saturday and she liked it and suggested having the little love heart bubbles. This card is available on Etsy for those of you with friends planning on getting hitched.
So my sister has come into the card designing fold and came up with the idea for this card. I had lots of laughs making the online dating profile and did some research on a few dating sites. I think Gareth and I should make our own Able and Game online dating site called Lonely Heart.Some of the questions will include:1. Do you like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain?2. Do you like sharing your superfast internet connection?3. Would you like to go on The Amazing race with your lover?4. Would you start watching Star Trek for your loved one?I am sure with questions like these we will match people perfectly. As long as the Star Trek fans are dating people willing to be assimilated we know the world will be okay. We will make millions!
I got the idea for this card sitting at Rose Street with Hollie (who is my next door neighbour and has the lovely label Hokey) as we say it to each other all the time. I love picking up phrases from friends, because when you're not around them and you hear yourself say something they often say it reminds you of them. This card is available on Etsy as well as our weekend markets in Melbourne. This weekend we will be at the following markets:
This card is part of our Felt Tip Fun range. It is Gareth's favourite range and this card caused a guy at Rose Street to once say "OMG! I hate cards, I never buy them, but this is the best card ever" which kind of made our day. We have put this horsey fellow up on Etsy, for all you felt tip pen lovers out there. In other very exciting news, Able and Game have been shortlisted for a SOYA Award which is also rather special.For the Melbourne people, we will be out and about on the weekend at three different markets, so if you need to get a Father's Day you can head to any of these locations:Saturday 5th September ROSE STREET ARTIST MARKET When: Saturday 5th September from 11am - 5pm Where: 60 Rose Street, Fitzroy Sunday 6th September FATHER'S DAY THE SUNDAY ART CENTRE MARKET When: Sunday 6th September from 10am - 5pm Where: St Kilda Road between Hamer Hall and the Theatres Building ROSE STREET ARTIST MARKET When: Sunday 6th September from 11am - 5pm Where: 60 Rose Street, Fitzroy
This winter, living in Melbourne seriously made me consider shifting to Brisbane. I remember going to sleep one night clutching two hot water bottles thinking this would never happen in Brisbane. Coincidentally I met Alyssa from Lyssy May the next day, who had shifted down from Brisbane to Melbourne and she made it sound rather sunshiny and lollypoppy. I can however live vicariously through the cards we send off to all these lovely shops in locations much warmer. Dirtbox is a menswear store in Brisbane, on broadway on the mall, and they stock a range of our Able and Game cards. I love the wood paneling and framed portraits hanging above the clothing racks and they have a great blog featuring the fashions they stock in the shop. If you're feeling a little left out because you're a girl they have a sister shop next door called Bessie Head for woman's clothes and accessories, and they also have a blog. If you're in Brisbane I am sure you already know about this shop, I think it is probably the go to place for great fashion, if not, now you know where to go.
Father's Day in Australia is only days away, and I realised we didn't have a Mum Chose Well card. So I used the same image from the Dad Chose Well card, but made this a little more red, like a Polaroid from January 1975. It is available from our Etsy shop, and will be available to Melbourne people at the three markets we are doing this weekend.Saturday 5th September ROSE STREET ARTIST MARKET When: Saturday 5th September from 11am - 5pm Where: 60 Rose Street, Fitzroy Sunday 6th September FATHER'S DAY THE SUNDAY ART CENTRE MARKET When: Sunday 6th September from 10am - 5pm Where: St Kilda Road between Hamer Hall and the Theatres Building ROSE STREET ARTIST MARKET When: Sunday 6th September from 11am - 5pm Where: 60 Rose Street, Fitzroy
