Welcome back in 2010!

Welcome back stylistas - did you wonder where I'd gone? I've been busy...

Shopping and thrifting,

Eating and chilling...

Making, styling, sharing...

Enjoying my summer garden...

And enjoying the chance to check out some new blogs etc. Ahh summer, but could someone please turn down the heat?

I've been busy this week preparing more Tango & James goodies to show-off and sell at this adorable event...

Ladies and little ladies alike will be sipping organic tea and nibbling darling treats amongst Canberra’s loveliest flowers at MissChief Maker’s Winter High Tea. Hosted by Rodney’s Nursery in Pialligo, the event will showcase several new and exciting ranges of divine interiors, women’s and children’s fashion, and accessories – all by local talent. Enjoy live jazz music and a book reading for littlies by local author Tania McCartney.

New design ranges featured at this event include Mr Mudge, Prim and Pretty, Karmen Sega Designs, Tango & James, Histoires, and Poppy, Bean & Bloss. Mr Mudge will soon be selling its childrens range at MissChief Maker.
