Little guy came up with a idea to make bookmarks and sell them on the street. Sat there for a long time but couldn’t get the courage up to talk to anyone walking past. :( next time I think I’ll wrangle a crowd. (He’s ok about it though)

Everyone’s responses are very touching, thank you. Eddie & his brother Harry are keen to fill your orders so let me know what pictures you like (I’m sensing baby yoda’s a hit) and they’ll make them and I’ll post them to you for $1.50 or $2.50 for 3 including postage. DMs open

The boys were super grateful and excited this morning when I told them they'd had lots of orders last night, thank you all for your generosity - it wasn't the intention (I just thought it was super cute and wanted to share) but it's a definite win in their books so thank you!

We are heading down to visit friends in Omokoroa for the weekend but the production line will start on Monday when we're back :)

The bookmark production line has been steadily chugging along at home. The boys are enjoying researching the custom requests. I got a bit of a shock tho when I went to buy stamps - turns out postage costs $1.50 these days, not 50c! I’d fail one of those Leaders debates questions

Update: The first bookmarks were posted yesterday. They are such a labour of love for Eddie that he researches the animals people have requested, and even has his own signature (he colours in the holes in his name). If you’re on the list, your patience is appreciated :)

Another burst of energy today and Eddie’s got another dozen bookmarks off into the mail. Appreciate everyone’s patience, we’re getting there! The new laminator is a treat.

Another productive Saturday morning and out goes another series of Eddie’s bookmarks. If you’ve already put in a request, we haven’t forgotten about you!!

This is super cool! I’ve got four boys who are nearer young men now, but this would have been them at the same age.
Tell the wee man I’ll buy 4 of his finest bookmarks. I’ll let him choose the coolest ones 😊

I'm always misplacing generic bookmarks you get with some sort of ad on them. I suspect this will imbue me with the discipline I need. I'll take four please. I love parrots, if he's ornithologically inclined. Otherwise anything nature-y. No Yodas please, I avoid the zeitgeist.
