I really love collecting badges. To me they represent a memory, every badge has a tale to tell. When I was young in the 70's badge collecting was the thing. Everywhere I went I would look out for the badge for sale at the counter, at times it was the only souvenir available. We all used to have a long narrow badge scarf hanging in our bedroom, always handmade in our own style. The scarf would be made and adapted from whatever fabric was available at home, truly recycled. Lovingly displayed and arranged according to size and colour, each badge was treasured, the challenge was to completely fill the scarf.
That's why I made the decision to always include a collectors badge within my Adele Design products. Above is the 'TAKE A SEAT' badge. It is 55mm, bold and colourful. The chair image is very successful with clear detail.
I thought it would be fun to have a proper packet to store the badge therefore turning it into a real collectors item. On the reverse you can see the rest of the slogan 'TAKE A SEAT REST YOUR FEET' A reminder to everyone to have a good rest from time to time.
Lots of badges safely in their packets and yes, it is me that sits and lovingly packs them up. 
Here's one for the boys (actually I borrowed the cars from my daughters collection).
Lovely on a jacket.
Or perhaps show your badge off on a trendy hat.
Give one to your favourite toy. In this case a knitted elephant that used to travel everywhere with us. Just a word of warning though, the badges are not suitable for children under 36 months.
Maybe keep it amongst other treasures.
We've been trying to cheer this little chap up for ages. Perhaps he will feel better now he is wearing his new badge.AN OFFER FOR YOU

Hi Adele
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely badges. Actually I'm not sure about the logo. It's certainly the national logo which we've all been asked to add to our websites. I'm afraid I haven't been uptodate with my Homes and Antiques reading just lately so I don't know. Which month is it in? I need to check, in case it's something else which I should know about.

When I was young I had an old tie of my dad's which I used to use to attach badges & brooches to for display. Later on I made a teddy bear with a waistcoat & used to buy little souvenir pins to pin to his waistcoat (I do still havr that!). Badges are always a nice little souvenir aren't they?

The badge is brilliant, I've noticed that a lot of teens pin a collection of bades to their rucksacks - so these would make a great stocking filler closer to Christmas.
ReplyDeleteHi Adele,
ReplyDeleteJust catching up after a frantic couple of weeks....I love the bird book and the badges are spiffy! Cool packaging too, how are they going? x
Hi, Adel thanks for dropping by my blog and your nice comments. I love this Take a Seat design and the colours you have used. Will be away from my computer for a while so look forward to catching up with your blog in a few weeks time.
ReplyDeleteHi Adel, I just followed a link to your beautiful blog and have just read the first page and wanted to tell you how lovely and colourful and inspiring I have found it. I hope you are having a lovely weekend. Love Kate
