We are moving !!!

We are moving to a new space in Kingsland, Auckland. We will miss the beautiful melrose house location, but we have run out of room. It feels like we are moving to the dark side. But really we know there is a creative community in Kingsland who will welcome us with open arms.

During the move we will post some pictures so check back soon.

There will be no disruption to those shopping, orders will still go out as usual, our contacts page will show new details on Monday. In the mean time be nosey and view the building on google maps, its an old shoe factory!

Make sure you toot when you drive past… 1 toot for “Hi”, 2 toots for “What up”, 3 or more toots for ” Hi, what up, hope the new digs are treating ya well”

 
 

Devonstock… no better place for a concert

Some top kiwi bands are getting together for this FREE concert on top of Mt Victoria, Devonport, Auckland. Warning! Its all ages and aimed at the youngsters, so beware of ankle biters and cheeky 13 year old’s throwing water bombs.

Sounds like a hacky session to us. Kiwi tunes, best view of AK city there is, sun, crew…. hacky.

 
 

What the font?

What the font for your iphone is a fun and free application that lets you take a picture of any font and find out what it is. Ever seen a font in a magazine that made you go… ” oh, that’s a nice font, I wonder what it is called…” but your graphic designer buddies are like. “… uh. I don’t know man…”

Well those days are over. We haven’t used it (still trying to win an iphone), but hear its pretty fun and of course useful for finding out those font names quicker than you can say Times New Roman.
