p.s. don't forget personalised stars close on oct 31... we may extend it a week or so, but order now for early december delivery...

i'm still around... just somewhere else as well...

hello there...

so... it is no surprise to many that instagram is a big part of the social media world now... and i am yet to really embrace twitter (never say never i suppose)...
and facebook is still a possibility (but when i don't know) and in some ways, much as many who say "you've just GOT TO have facebook if you are running a business", i'm just bucking the trend and pressure for now... watch this space... as things can always change... that is what we have to remember... 
things can change...

i will be back here from time to time i PROMISE !!!
but thought i'd give you the clear link to my instagram account so you can view online 
if you aren't in the phone world of instagram

i spend a lot of time there...
as the days and weeks of my work life have gotten busier (than i ever knew possible) with the shop, gallery, wholesale, and online, as well as new projects and adventures around every turn...

i find the small, creative, connected instagram world allows me to send little moments and stories and corners of my world quickly and beautifully...
and quietly in a way...

if you would like to keep up with a more regular collection of my adventures, work, and moments both big and small... i share some of them anyway... over on instagram...

this weekend we open our first group show in the gallery...
it is one i've had my heart set on since i opened the doors (even before i had a gallery space really)

based around my poem
'in my hand i had a kingdom, in my hand i had yours'
i have asked 14 artists to create work that is able to fit in a hand...

featuring work by all the artists listed above
it is overwhelming the work that is arriving here, it is all so beautiful and thoughtful

work from local and interstate artists will sit along work from japan also...

earlier this year i met momoko and tetsuya otani when visiting japan,

momoko and tetsuya are having a show here in the gallery of their work next year
this current show is a nice way to see their work first hand and get a taste for the larger show in 2014...

in the mean time i hope you can make it along to see some
small
beautiful
thoughtful
tiny
magical
work of the artists shown...

the show will be open until saturday august 10th
opening hours
wednesday - friday 10-4
and saturdays 10-2
