I was pretty thrilled to find this little corner about my shop in the latest issue of Frankie. It's my favourite magazine, with its blend of craft and design, art and words. Hooray and thank you!

How has the beginning of January been going for you? I've started on a work placement at a newspaper (as part of my journalism training) and am enjoying it very much. So far I have interviewed an archery expert, a playwright, and a writer who arrived here from Poland in 1944. I am enjoying hearing and writing their stories. (It's not all like that, though- there are also some local government issues and court appearances that need investigating.)

I came across some very beautiful music recently. It's an NPR Tiny Desk concert, featuring cellist Yo-Yo Ma and a group of string-playing, bluegrass-flavoured friends. 15 minutes of goodness.

    I’ve been reading and enjoying your blog for some time and never commented. I saw you in the Frankie magazine, smiled and said to myself “I know her” … not really but you know what I mean! Well done 🙂

    I love Frankie Magazine but it is so hard to find here in the States. I have an undergraduate degree in journalism–but I no longer work in the field and that makes me sad. I’m a long-time reader, first-time commenter.

    I saw you in Frankie and smiled to myself. (I bought my first issue while I was visiting family in Melbourne). I’ve been reading your blog since high school (I’m through uni now)!!! Thanks for all the lovely words, images, and music recommendations you share. 🙂
