A selection of hanging lanterns in time for an event in Dublin at the weekend – that’s what Dierdre Hynes of Ruby and Bloom needed. Given that the request came in at close of play on Wednesday and they were wanted in Dublin by Friday, our initial response was that we couldn’t guarantee delivery. However it didn’t stop us thinking about how we might be able to help. In the end the lanterns, a mixture of diamond, balloon and round lanterns in crimson, oyster and mandarin, were all packed and ready for the freight company to pick up Thursday morning and made it to Ruby and Bloom in good time for the event. Photos have been promised. It’s our first order from Dublin but Dierdre’s already been spreading the word. So hopefully it won’t be our last.
