Hey Kids Rock'n'Roll @heykidsshop.bsky.social · Aug 18
A quick update on heykidsrocknroll.etsy.com
(TL:DR - I'm suspending US shipping for a bit, otherwise same old same old really)
Hey kids! Quick shop update, you might be aware that there are some changes happening with shipping items to the USA. I’ll be honest, I’m not entirely sure what the result of that will be or how long it will be in place but, for the time being at least, it does look like there will be some disruption. To be on the safe side I won’t be posting out to the US for a little while, then we’ll see how things stand further down the line. What with this and the general state of the world and the creative industries it’s…well an interesting time! I think I’ll try and do some dIfferent things with the shop and with the work I do under the Hey Kids Rock’n’Roll banner. Commissions, collaborations, different types of product, one-offs…Lots of ideas bubbling! Do get in touch if you have any ideas or would like something made. This year is, incredibly, the 10th anniversary of Hey Kids Rock’n’Roll, it’s been really good fun and the one thing I AM certain of is that it will continue to be! Thank you to everyone who has supported the shop and my daft ideas! Keep an eye out for more soon! Sean (Hey kids Rock’n’Roll) A representative sample of products available from heykidsrocknroll.etsy.com - Big Daddy & Giant Haystacks card decorations, David Byrne dancing puppet, Kate Bush felt decorations and a cardboard model kit of the Fillmore West.

Quite keen to promote the old shop and, by extension, myself at the moment (heykidsrocknroll.etsy.com) as, let's face it, income is welcome and a sense of shame is not going to butter any parsnips. So if anyone wants me to yap on a podcast, include stuff in a glossy colour supplement feature, etc...

I've bought both Smiley and Columbo and can confirm they are excellent.
Just one last thing...
Recipients loved them.

God that's horribly sad news. I always liked reading her stuff and 'Her Brilliant Career' is a terrific book. So sorry for everyone who knew her.

RIP Rachel Cooke, fellow Puffin Club member and evangelist of All the Devils Are Here, formidable critic and true believer in the power and importance of the good stuff, in whatever form it takes. I’m gutted we won’t get to talk about books again. My condolences to Rachel’s friends and family. x

We are very sad to learn of the death of our friend Rachel Cooke. In addition to being a wonderful writer and a superb critic, she loved books to her core. She kept us on our toes and it was a joy and a privilege to spend time with her, on and off the show. RIP. observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Just started watching the Jeff Buckley thing on BBC4. He's an odd one where I can't quite place my feelings without being aware of a wider critical view...

Spent a lovely morning with @gailmyerscough.co.uk & my furry mate Pete in her studio. @heykidsshop.bsky.social features heavily and it’s all the better for doing so.

‘Gutenberg remains unknowable: an implied but not a felt presence. This is true for all but a small number of 15th-century lives, of course, but it’s impossible to ignore the gulf between Gutenberg’s great invention and his own elusiveness.’

What the husband @mjowen174.bsky.social says is true.
It’s been a bit quiet in my shop lately.
If you’re looking for #Christmas cards and gifts please have a look at my website.

This was gonna be the last thing I hang on my Christmas tree, but it keeps on telling me to add just one more thing.
heykidsshop.bsky.social Hey Kids Rock'n'Roll @heykidsshop.bsky.social · 11d
NEW! Columbo Decorations! Celebrating perhaps the greatest tv detective. They can be sent as cards and hung as decorations, the versatility is astounding!
Just one more thing...head on over to heykidsrocknroll.etsy.com for these and LOADS of other quality merchandise.
You know, my wife - she's a big fan of gifting her friends and family pop-culture related items, especially at Christmas. Me? Not so much but oh you should see her. She loves this one shop, 'Hey There Rocking Kids' or something it's called...'Hey Kids Rock'n'Roll' that's it! That's the one. Oh yeah, she swears by it. Just one more thing...this Columbo Decoration can be sent as a greetings card and it comes with an envelope, real good quality stuff. You can send it to a friend and then they can hang it on a tree or whatever. Oh and, sir? There's just one thing I'm not sure of... It says here it measures about 14cm high. Now I don't know about centimetres but I'd guess that's about five and a half inches, wouldn't you say?
