Best of Summer Competition

It’s still light enough to enjoy a beer in the sun after work, so one thing is clear – summer is upon us. But that’s not the only thing that we’ve been waiting for, the amazing Renaissance exhibition has finally arrived at the National Gallery of Australia and the Verve Clicquot Sculpture Bar has reopened. There’s so much going on in this crazy town, we just can’t contain ourselves.

To celebrate we are running a competition. The prize? Two tickets to the Renaissance exhibition and a bottle of Verve Clicquot care of our wonderful friends at the Sculpture Bar. Imagine viewing the classics such as Raphael, Botticelli, Bellini and Titian then ducking out to the fabulous sculpture garden to sip champagne and chill out to some killer beats by local DJs. Belissimo!!!

Handmade Canberra

I discovered the Handmade shop only this year and I have been back at least half a dozen times.

I go there in search of a story about 'the little Handmade shop taking Canberra by storm' but I instead leave without photos, not really knowing who the designers are and with the addition of some beautiful new purchases. I am ashamed to say I am a woman possessed whenever I walk through their doors. Everything is pretty, unique, thoughtful and I discover new things with each visit.

Canberra Knitting

My lack of article posts for the last few weeks is almost wholly because of knitting. I started writing this post some time ago but my urge to suss out all things knitting in Canberra; also resulted in me spending all of my evenings on the couch knitting. I now have ¾ of a pink and red striped scarf which I have been happily working away at after rediscovering the beginnings of this scarf in a cupboard stuffed away from last winter.

The Art of iPhoneography

Taking photos can be a lot of fun but 'proper' gear can be expensive, heavy and too bulky to slip into your favourite jeans. It seems that with all the technology we humans pride ourselves for having developed, that being able to take a quality photo should be easy, convenient and accessible by now.
