a big thank you to everyone who called by to say hi at the tinderbox stall last saturday .
It was lovely to meet marianne ,a new member and thanks emma rowe ,whose cheese stall duties came second on saturday as she made time to get down to see us in her lunch break ! xx
Also thank you to coilin of the dublin story tellers for dropping by and buying one of the last of the heartstrings song drawing zines.
There is only one left of the limited edish of 20 ....never to be repeated zine (will you be the lucky owner ?)
You can rest assured that the whole tinderbox collectives best interests were well looked after by the stall holders (see above photo) who stayed all day from 12-5pm !!
Samuel Carroll Maiques made the most money , in fact he couldnt keep up with the sales of his talented mothers exclusive zine tea matters.....it was a sell out .
As I mentioned , I had my own little space beside the mothership and I have to say it was definately worth it .....there is a very good chance that the brilliant anto dillon of loserdom zine+ a good few others will organize the independants day shindig again for this november...............
*watch this space
*get your work ready
*lets make a really big effort to attend in the style we are so capable of
*add your voice to the blog now this minute :)

Hey Marianne, great to meet you, looking forward to see you work too!

Jane, lovely post.
You gotta send that pic to moi.
It was indeed a GREAT day, fantastic to be in such good company and the stall looked fabulous and was buzzing with all the selling, coming and going.
Thanks a lot for taking the helm of the stall, along with your friend Richael.

AND...
I can't wait for the next market!
They are great occasions to meet, trade and produce new things.

:]
elida.
