Have you met MissChief Maker?

Nestled into the gorgeous gardens of Rodney's Pialligo, there lies a treasure trove of the coolest and prettiest goodies for kids and mums - and with a cafe and playground at the door step - it couldn't get more decadent (if you have tiny ball & chains like I do!).

Misschief Maker, housed in it's own little (new) rustic shack is run by Canberra mum Katie Dawson, and is entirely stocked by women and mums, busily hand making lamps, clothing, acccessories, toys and more - including 13 Canberran's! Plus a range of pre-loved threads for little ones.

Now's the time to check it out though, because, not only is the weather perfect for lolling in the gardens with a cold drink, but Katie is running a "gold sticker sale" for February - in time to make room for Autumn stock arriving soon. With loads of handmade clothes marked down up to 30% off and the big kids back to school this week, bring your pre-schoolers... I'll meet you there!

Goregoussss!

Real Estate rooms

It's been a while since we've had a real estate perve on Canberra homes... here's whats got me agog...

I covet: the amazing and important architectural modernist masterpiece, "The Round House" in Deakin. It has me speechless... and it's on the market. Eeeep.

Gorgeous colour and fun furniture in Flynn

Sleek minimal white meets delicious textures in Red Hill

An art house in Hawker

And this one just has me bemused about the classiness of this millionaire's penthouse pad... seriously... so that's what they get up to in there (ahem). But I do love the antique armoire in the bathroom.

Have a marvelous weekend all!

Hot shop: Typo

Typography in design is riding high right now. Turn a page in any interiors magazine and you're sure to find plenty of inspiration. Hitting the spot is new Cotton On venture, Typo, with new stores in the Canberra Centre and DFO, I just can't resist...

They stock all manner of stationery items, journals, notebooks, and folders. Wall stickers (HOT!!!) decor letters (HOT!!!) and some crazy-fabulous pen holders bookends and mugs! With quite a different flavour to Kikki K and Smiggle, it's well worth a look.
