Arts, Crafts and Cafes

 

Wow Friday afternoon, such a busy week! We attended the exhibition opening of  'the tree of man' by our dear friend Andrew Spark last night at the SWICH contemporary art space.

Great night and impressive turnout in support of Andrew - congratulations Mr Spark!

On the shop front, some very nice new jewellery in store by clever sister design duo,  their brand is Zatini - very organic and beautiful colour palette.

 

Earlier in the week we assisted fourthchild in the acquisition of an amazing piece of art work by Gary Abkin and Andrew Spark. Gary Abkin collaborated with Andrew Spark on Abkin + Spark: live action painting for Animated Spaces: Alive with Music, Theatre, Poetry & Visual Art. The result of this collaboration, an 8 x 2.1 metre artwork, is now hanging on the wall at fourthchild.

We are open through til 7pm on Friday nights, so with all this action around us be sure to come visit.

Saturday 9am - 2pm and Sunday 10am - 1pm

Have a great week end.

Old and New

2012 here ready or not! Clearly I'm not quite ready as I am about to share my Saturday morning adventures and today is Tuesday (that's me whispering it) so already behind the eight ball!
Had an early start to the day, headed into Powerhouse Markets to catch up with Kara and Frankie and pick up some beautiful bits plus fresh herbs, bread, heirloom tomatoes and of course there was coffee, before, during and after!

 

Little Lucy Espresso, Ipswich Rd Moorooka, perfect halfway point for a really good flat white.

Arrived at Powerhouse Markets and the place is pumping! Pineapple anyone?

Found Kara and all her fabulous pieces, what is it about linen, porcelain and glass, mmmmm my happy place.

Talking about happy places, quick stop off for one more quite coffee to absorb the morning activities.

Last stop Flower Markets, check out these roses.....words fail me. So it's now 10am and I am heading back to the shop, not bad for a few hours work (yes work) x
