Here at Beastie Towers we like nothing better than heading out together for a fun day at one of our local markets. And even though the weather here was less than stellar on Saturday morning, we still managed to have a good time at the Ha’Penny market – it’s definitely worth a look if you ever find yourself in Dublin!
A few of our group even went home with new human friends – first to go was Cookie Beastie…
…who was snapped up by Ali from A Little Idea, one of our stall neighbours on the day!
Many of the other Beasties who ventured off to pastures new have featured on the BeastieBlog before. But one of my recent additions found a new home too! It’s been a while since I last made a Chef Beastie – perhaps two years – so I really enjoyed cracking out my old templates and making some subtle adjustments to the design. The basic formula is the same – Chef Beasties always need a classic tall white chef’s hat and an apron…
…And I still get a chuckle out of making “useful” things to put in the apron pocket!
Put it all together, and you get…
…And perhaps you can see the BeastiEvolution which has taken place since I made my very first Chef Beastie!
Who knows where they’ll go from here? Hmmm…
I have more new Beasties for you to meet, but I’m going to save ’em for next week. In the meantime, Paddy and Plunkett will be back to entertain you with more travellers’ tales on Friday. See you then!
Perhaps I’ve asked this before, but….what do you call a crowd of Beasties? Is it a Giggle of Beasties? or a Mischief? Anyone out there have any ideas?
Heehee, good question! I do have a nerdy enthusiasm for collective nouns! I don’t have an official one picked out yet, but I rather like “a mischief of Beasties”. Any other suggestions, anybody? 😀
Yay! I’m so glad some Beasties found new homes! And Chef Beastie is so charming, although now I’m imagining a tall one with curly hair – Julia Child Beastie. Love your display, by the way.
Why thank you! And a Julia Child Beastie, you say? I’ve just spent a fun couple of minutes looking at photos of the lady herself… I’d certainly heard of her, but I had no idea she was such a character! I reckon her Beastie counterpart would look great with a chicken and a tenderising mallet…
Perfect! She is pretty funny, if you ever get a chance to read her autobiography.
I’ll look out for that… Yaaay! Book shopping! 😀
These are terrific! I am always charmed by the details you add to your beasties.
Thank you! Thinking up new accessories (or reinventing old ones) is always fun! 😀
What a lovely display for your stall,love beastie chef
Awww, thank you! I love doing markets 😀
Your stall is fantastic, the knife and carrot are really cool too! I love the details!
Thank you! I do love making teeny accessories 😀 That market is definitely worth checking out if you’re in the city centre on Saturdays, too… They have a great mix of crafts and vintage!
What a fun day! I’m glad to hear some of the Beasties found their forever homes, I’m sure they will have lots of adventures out there.
Oh and a Mischief of Beastie’s gets my vote too, it’s perfect!
Heehee! Yes, a mischief of Beasties seems to have pulled into the lead. And we did have a great time at the market… I don’t know how I managed to get to August without doing one, but it was good to be back!
Great display! I vote for a mischief of beasties too.
Yeah! A mischief of Beasties it is, then! 😀
Yay!
They’re so cool… All of them
Thank you! 😀 Beasties love compliments! (And so do I 😉)
Good cost they are (as are you 😉)
😄
