Almost ready!

Finally!! I have managed to start my blog about my work as a visual merchandiser, my new business l'uccello and my obsession with vintage haberdashery, textiles, ephemera and craft. I have a studio in the Nicholas Building, it is a lovely old deco salon with beautiful french doors and views over St Paul's Cathedral. I am busy preparing to open 3 days a week to sell my range of hand made homewares and ever expanding collection of vintage haberdashery and ephemera. I will also be stocking some fabulous hats and accessories made by renown milliner Serena Lindeman.
Following the success of Marche Rouge and all the great feedback I decided to open on a more regular basis. I am also planning some classes and an informal crafternoon tea group  later in the year. For a review of our Christmas Marche Rouge and an interview about my work, check out this blog (best blog for what's happening in Melb!) http://www.melhotornot.com/
I also did an interview with Kate at  http://www.ispystyle.com.au/, there are more photos of my visual merchandising work.

I will be opening Thursdays & Fridays 10am-6pm and Saturdays 10am -4pm from next Thursday 8th April.
The address is Room 5 2nd Floor, 37 Swanston Street Melbourne, take the lift or stairs from Cathedral Arcade.

My neighbour Kate, at the famous Buttonmania is having a fabulous sale next week of her vast supply of crazy patchwork fabrics. Kate has the best range of buttons in town and also offers a custom service for covered buttons, buckles and belts.


A few of my favourite things

                                                  Happy Easter!!

    Hi Kim!
    I'm one of the lucky ones who gets to visit your fascinating store in person and I treasure the vintage goodies that I have purchased from you.
    I have been telling all my friends about how unique your store is. Its great news that you have started a blog - now lots of us can keep up to date with the latest things that you have in store.
    See you again soon,
    Best wishes Catherine

    Boy, can one be lucky! I was bloghopping and found you somewhere along the line, Kim! You must have only just opened your shop, as I was at Buttonmania only 3 weeks ago, and I'm positive you weren't next door then!! But now I know you are there, I'll pop in next time I'm in the city :-)
