Reposted from Bradan Press president @dremilymcewan • It was lovely to be back on @bbcrng “Naoi du Deich” this morning with Cathy Bhàn NicDhòmhnaill talking about translated #Gaelic children’s books, including our brand-new 𝗕𝗶𝗱𝗵 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗱𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗻 𝗗𝗲𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗶𝗹, the translation of Teddy Is Ready by Cape Breton author/illustrator Joanne MacDonald! 💙📚 So much to say and so little time, honestly, but I read a few pages aloud from 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗱𝗵 and we had a great chat along with Gillebride Mac IlleMhaoil @gillebridemacmillan, John Norman from the Gaelic Books Council @comhairle_nan_leabhraichean, and Finlay MacLennan / Fionnlaigh MacGilleFhinnein from Western Isles Libraries @wilibraries. Mìle taing do Chathy is Aileen airson seo a chur air dòigh! Tha Cathy na bana-ghaisgeach do leabhraichean Gàidhlig agus is mi a tha taingeil dhi 🥰
There's a new post about our book launch last week in Mabou for 𝗕𝗶𝗱𝗵 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗱𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗻 𝗗𝗲𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗶𝗹, the #Gaelic translation of 𝗧𝗲𝗱𝗱𝘆 𝗜𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 by #CapeBreton author/artist Joanne MacDonald / Eòsag Dhòmhnallach!
Teddy says, "Thank you everyone for coming to my #Gaelic book launch last Saturday! There will be photos up on the website soon!" 🩶📚🍁

Tha Teadaidh ag ràdh, "Tapadh leibh uile airson tighinn do'n chur-air-bhog agam Disathuine sa chaidh! Bidh dealbhan a' nochdadh air an làrach-lìn a dh'aithghearr!" 🩶📚🍁 #gàidhlig
Today we're celebrating the 5-year anniversary of the launch of ANNA RUADH, the Gaelic translation of Anne of Green Gables! 📚💚👒 We had planned to hold book launch cèilidhs in Charlottetown, Halifax, and Sydney, but those were cancelled due to the pandemic lockdown and we pivoted to an online virtual cèilidh! The upside is that the video is still available to watch on our channel, and it's a delightful hour of Gaelic performances from Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, Scotland, and even Ireland! Find the YouTube link in our bio!

Unfortunately, due to the tariff situation we are SUSPENDING Nova Scotia Gaelic flag orders to the USA on Friday, June 13.

The CUTOFF DATE for Gaelic flag orders to the USA is 𝟱 𝗣𝗠 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗧𝗢𝗗𝗔𝗬, 𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟭𝟮, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱. If you place your order today we'll be able to have someone hand-carry it to the USA & ship it there.

The flags are manufactured in China by our supplier, which means that if we ship an order to a customer in the USA, the US CBP will charge the customer the current US tariff on goods made in China, even when receiving the parcel from Canada.

If US tariffs against China are lifted in the future, we will be happy to start accepting flag orders from the USA again! Thank you for your understanding. 

* This issue does NOT apply to our books, which are printed in Canada. Our book shipments to the USA remain tariff-free!

* This issue also does NOT apply to Gaelic flag orders from Canada, which will continue as usual.

The Mayflower (trailing arbutus, epigaea repens) is the provincial flower of Nova Scotia and it's in bloom right now! In Gaelic it's called "neòinean-chùbhraidh" according to Alexander MacDonald, Alasdair Ailein Mhór, Bàrd na Ceapaich.

His poem, "Òran do Neòinean-chùbhraidh" (Address to a Mayflower) in O Cheapaich nan Craobh edited by Trueman & Laurinda Matheson, is excerpted in our Gaelic cookbook, ÁS AN ABHAINN MHÓIR: ENGLISH-GAELIC RECIPES FROM PICTOU COUNTY! This lovely photo of Mayflowers in the book is by Pauline MacDonald. 🩷

Bradan Press is 9 years old! 🎂🥳📚 Tha Clò a’ Bhradain 9 bliadhna a dh’aois!

Taing mhòr / Thank you so much to our readers around the world, our creative collaborators, our funders, and everyone else who has supported Bradan Press since our founding in January 2016!

Mòran taing do ar luchd-leughaidh air feadh an t-saoghail, ar luchd co-obrachaidh cruthachail, na buidhnean a thug maoineachadh dhuinn, agus a h-uile neach is buidheann eile a thug taic dhuinn o’n a chaidh sinn a stèidheachadh san Fhaoilleach 2016!

To celebrate we're having a  S e c o n d s  S a l e  now through January 31, 2025 in our US & Canadian online stores! 🍁📚 All books listed as SECONDS are 25% off, no coupon needed. The damage is slight and mainly consists of bent corners, scuffed front covers, wear along the edges of covers, beat-up top & bottom edges on the spines, and the occasional creased back cover. The damage does not affect readability.

US & CAN sale 🔗s  in  b i o. Quantities are limited so if you're interested, jump on it!

Did you know that massive tech companies like 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐠𝐥𝐞 & 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐚 do certain things that actively make life harder for us as a small minority language publisher? 🚨🥲

For example, if you have a 𝐆𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐥 address, then you may not be getting email communications from Bradan Press!

Here's what may happen:

❌ If you order a book from us, you may not get the order confirmation email! 

❌ If you subscribe to our newsletter, you may not receive it! 

❌ If you pledge to our crowdfunder, and we send you updates and request your address to ship your books, you may not get them!

😢 Unfortunately this is happening because we can't afford to subscribe to Google Business so they'll "whitelist" our company email domain (bradanpress dot com).

✅ The only way to ensure you'll ALWAYS get our emails is to add "info [at sign] bradanpress dot com" to your Gmail Contacts list. Can you do it today?

P.S. If you correspond with Emily at Bradan Press, it also helps to add her personal work email to your contacts. For example, we've been having a bad communication breakdowns trying to hire a freelancer for a project, because every time we email their Gmail, it goes to their spam, unless we use the contact form on their website (which makes it impossible to send files).
We’re temporarily disabling our US Dollar online shop, as we’re experiencing a tech issue. 🌟🌟🌟 WE'RE STILL OPEN! 🌟🌟🌟 If you need to place a last-minute holiday order from the USA, please email us through the Contact form on our website and we will be very happy to assist you! 🥰
Canadian readers: All books in our Canadian online shop are now TAX FREE! The government has instituted a temporary GST break on books from December 14, 2024, to February 15, 2025! 🍁📚

In HRM, take advantage of FREE LOCAL PICKUP in Dartmouth close to the Wyse Road Sobeys. 

As of 19 December we are shipping via Canada Post again, along with our alternate carriers where needed.

Exceptions to the tax holiday are: Gaelic flags, gift cards, and the Fàilte colouring book (activity books are excluded from the break, sorry). Shipping charges are also still subject to GST/HST. Tapadh leibh / Thank you.
Bradan! 😄

🌲🎀 HOLIDAY VENDING UPDATE 🎀🌲 Bradan Press will NOT be vending at Christmas at the Annex in Halifax this weekend. Sorry to miss you there! 💙📚 However, our online shop is open as always. We offer free local pickup in Dartmouth, close to the MacDonald Bridge! #gaelicns #gaelicbooks #gaelic #gàidhlig #highlanddance #novascotia #christmasbooks #christmasbooksforkids
Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but IKEA is so delightful! Come see us at the @differentfolkshfx Christmas craft fair next to the café! It’s a great day to be indoors 💙📚☕️🍰
Canada Post is on strike starting today, and we've noticed Canadian online orders dry up in the past week as customers were no doubt anticipating it. 😢 BUT the good news is that you can STILL order online from us in Canada and the USA! During the strike we're using Chit Chats, which has contracted with alternate carriers to help keep our orders moving and keep us afloat during this vital season for indie book sales. 💙📚🍁

We'll honour our normal shipping prices, which are $6.00 for any order under 500 grams and $14.00 for orders over 500 grams (for orders over 500 g we actually pay $17-$30 depending on proximity and urban vs. rural delivery.)

And of course, if you're in HRM or have someone who will be, you can check the box for "Free Local Pickup" and pick it up from us in Dartmouth, not far from the MacDonald Bridge!

Please keep in mind that Saturday, December 7, 2024 is our online order deadline to try to ensure you can receive your package by December 24th!
Pleased to say we'll be vending at the @differentfolkshfx Christmas at IKEA market in Dartmouth Crossing on Sat-Sun Nov. 23-24—hope to see you there, especially if you couldn't make it to our previous markets! 🌲 There will be 20 vendors and a mix of new handmade & vintage goods. There will be door prizes including a $100 IKEA gift card! #gaelicbooks #childrensbooks #gaelicns

LÀTHAICHEAN FÉILLE

Làthaichean Féill’ a chaidh a stéidheachadh
Ro’ àm na cuimhne;
Anns gach creideamh
Anns gach comunn;
Ro’n t-sìolachan do-fhaicsinneach a mheasgaicheas
Cleachdadh, òrdugh, biadh, comanachadh na daonntachd,
Bidh fìon nam féisean a’ brachadh thar chrìochan,
Far a’ robh a’ bhrìgh ’s a’ bhith a choimhead a-mach
Is a chunnaic gach nì,
A lùb glùn is ceann,
Anns na h-amannan beannaichte
Aig nach eil àm,
Ann an aonaidhean umhail a’ chianalais,
’S ann gu bheil ’ad air am faighinn ás an aon chadadh naomh,
A’ dòrtadh a-mach anns gach àite.

—Lodaidh MacFhionghain, Ràithean airson Sireadh / Seasons for Seeking (2017)

FEAST DAYS

Feast Days established
Before memory;
In every faith
In every society;
Via the invisible sieve that mixes
Custom, observance, food, the communion of humanity,
The wine of the festivals ferments across boundaries,
Where the essence of the entity that looked out
And watched and beheld every thing,
That bent knee and head
At the blessed times
That have no time,
In reverent unions of longing,
Were found to be of all the same sacred stuff
Pouring out everywhere.

—Lodaidh MacFhionghain, Ràithean airson Sireadh / Seasons for Seeking (2017)

Listen to this poem and the rest of the “An t-Samhainn” section of Ràithean airson Sireadh / Seasons for Seeking, free on Bandcamp, this month.
