Bringing Colour to Blarney: Our First Exhibition & Creative Workshop at the Library

June was a big month for Little Fingerprint Boutique — and a beautiful reminder of how creativity can bring people together.

For the first time ever, I had the absolute joy of showcasing my Full 'Colour Me' design collection at a public exhibition — hosted by the wonderful team at Blarney Library, right in the heart of Cork. 💙

From the moment we hung the first print, I knew this milestone would stay with me for a long time.

Our First-Ever Design Exhibition

On display throughout the month of June, the exhibition featured all 14 original seamless patterns from the Colour Me Collection. Each design — hand-drawn and lovingly created by me, Lina Pavlova — represents a piece of the creative journey behind Little Fingerprint Boutique.

Whether it was dinosaurs stomping through leafy jungles or fairy tale forests full of hidden surprises, the collection gave visitors a closer look at the playful heart behind the brand.

The feedback was truly heartwarming. Locals, library visitors, and families stopping by for story time all took time to pause, observe, and ask about the patterns — many of which are now featured on our reusable aprons and placemats.

Cruinniú na nÓg Kids Workshop: A Burst of Colour!

As part of Cruinniú na nÓg — Ireland’s national day of free creativity for young people — we hosted a special free kids colouring workshop at Blarney Library on Friday, June 7th.

Let me tell you: the energy was off the charts!

We rolled out our giant Colour Me tablecloth, prepped the washable markers, and welcomed a room full of bright-eyed young artists aged 4 to 10. 🎉👧👦

They doodled, they coloured, they collaborated — and in just one hour, they transformed the entire tablecloth into a vibrant masterpiece filled with imagination and joy.

From rainbow letters to quirky animal mashups, every inch was bursting with personality. It was a celebration of creativity, confidence, and community — and a lovely reminder of why I started Little Fingerprint Boutique in the first place.

A Washable Keepsake

One of the best parts? The tablecloth, just like all our products, was 100% washable and reusable.

After the session, it got a good rinse — but the joy and energy those kids poured into it? That will stay with me forever. 💛

What’s Next for Little Fingerprint Boutique?

We’re not stopping! Our next adventure is just around the corner at the Cork Craft Month 2025 — where we’ll bring even more colour, fun, and handmade creativity to local families.
