New stockist in Wollongong, NSW

A new art and design store is about to open in Wollongong next week.

Milk Thieves Art & Design is a mini mart of handmade art, design and craft.

It is also my newest stockist! The four brooches above will be in store as of Dec 3rd - the official opening day!

It's Raining! It's Pouring!

All this rain is great for my little balcony garden and great for Melbourne but not so great for the stall that I was supposed to be having at the South Melbourne Night Market tonight.

Uh oh.. it is not the weather to be doing an outdoor night market.

But... instead I will be joining Charlotte from Cserpent Art at the Northcote Town Hall Kris Kindle Market tonight. Yes - 'tis INDOORS and slightly closer to my home.

Yep, warmness, dryness + proximity are a winner!!

Rose St Market - this Sunday!

hello hello!

I have a stall at the Rose St Market this Sunday (22nd) yay!

I will be sharing a space with Charlotte from Cserpent Art

The Spanish Festa will also be on this weekend so there will be lots to see and do this weekend in Fitzroy!

My Big Cartel Store

In an attempt to keep everything in the ONE place I have created a Big Cartel Online Store!!

Check it out here: http://kalliopi.bigcartel.com/

I only have a few things on there for now but I am hoping to fill my shop up soon (well, at least before Christmas!). I have brooches, earrings and cufflinks all over my studio and not enough of them have made it online yet.

Here are a few of the goodies online...

And don't forget to buy handmade this Christmas. Shop local to support our economy.. and handmade things are nicer too! xx

phonebook dress

I love this dress!

Designed and made by a young designer called Jolis Paons, the whole dress is hand made with paper from a phone book.
