Ring Ring….  “Hello Mrs. Ghahremani,  this is Lauren,  can susie come over to play?”

We’re super excited about the new BoyGirlParty box over at Badge Bomb, stuffed full of 30 Susie Ghahremani originals. All the button designs are brand new and available on BadgeBomb.com, or from Boygirlparty.com in the near future.

Monday, we’ll be setting this up in Las Vegas at POOL Tradeshow for Badge Bomb’s booth (we’re in booth #805 nudge nudge). We hired the folks down at Sirrocco Labs in Los Angeles to build us this cardboard 3/4 scale rendition of the city of Portland. Okay, maybe 3/4 scale is a bit of an exaggeration, but my math doesn’t take away from how sweet it is.

Keep an eye out for their new movie “Red Moon”. Yes, the submarine cockpit featured here is also completely made out of cardboard. We can’t wait to see it. Maybe it really will play at the Laurelhurst Theatre? One can hope.

These Spanish darlings finally have their own button box thanks to popular demand!!! Each box contains 200 one inch buttons featuring the “retro pop” art of Naranjas Chinas. Pick one up here

Here’s a look at the first of 4 new button boxes coming your way this spring from Badge Bomb!   The Yummy You box is filled with buttons featuring highly detailed photos of the crocheted creations of Twinkie Chan!  Keep an eye out for a whole line of scarfs, accessories, and savory stuff by Yummy You clothing. Boxes are in stock and ready to ship. Pick one up for your store here

Q: What’s one of the greatest things about Portland?
A: Voodoo Doughnuts!

Atleast in our land of custom buttons, we enjoy many a Butter Fingering or Maple Bar:

What exactly do we do with all these donuts? Well to be quite honest, we bought 2 boxes this week, then we washed them down with coffee, and we’ll be back for more next week! Maybe they are the source of inspiration for some creative art buttons? Who knows!

YEAH!  One Inch Round - the sole maker of Badge Bomb products was recognized today with this awesome RecycleWorks Award from the City of Portland’s Office of Sustainability. Here we are today celebrating with this cool “Bike Sprocket” plaque that they presented to us - another sprocket for our car-free workplace!  

Check it out,  pics from Jonathon Hill-Jacquard’s (our in house art director) show that opened at the Tyson Gallery as part of Portland’s famous “First Thursday” last week! Keep an eye out for Jonathon’s button line “Jugtown”, currently locked up in Badge Bomb R&D.
