They have arrived! They’re so sweet and so fun! I found these fabulous pieces at the Rose Street Markets in Melbourne during my last sejour (which we affectionatly named Frocktober as we hunted for frocks, drank Pimms on rooftops and danced down alleyways). They’re been recreated by an awesome artist, Mr Greg Mann. We’re currently stocking an array of pendants, earrings and rings! RRP $55 each

Those of you lucky enough to live in Melbs you can head to Rose Street in Fitzroy every Saturday and Sunday 11am to 5pm. Those of you who aren’t as close can peruse the fabulous array of wares online here The Rose Street Markets

“There is no beauty in the finest cloth if it makes hunger and unhappiness.”
Gandhi

Swap-O-Rama-Rama has landed in Perth! Sandra Bryans, who runs a sewing school in Malaga is the lady to bring it here. SORR is a giant clothing swap and series of do-it-yourself workshops in which community explores reuse and creativity throught the recycling of used clothing. At Swap-O-Rama-Rama consumers are taught to be creators.

The idea behind Swap-O-Rama-Rama was developed several years ago by activist Wendy Tremayne, and the Perth event will be only the second time it has been held outside North America. Head to swaporamarama.org for more information about Wendy and her other events.
