First Instyle was a tremendous success over the weekend of August 2-5th. I now welcome 36 new stockists to my business. It was a small showing on a little plinth but it didn’t seem to matter, it was enough for those involved to be won over by the charm of Sustainable Stubbies.

After technical deliberations, I managed to push the boundaries of my small scale equipment to pull off this tall and elegant Sambuca set. I have been eyeing up the Launch Pad design competition administered by InDesign for more than a year, so I was very determined to enter the sexiest piece I could. I am very excited to say that we have now been shortlisted and are awaiting the word on who made it to the final exhibition scheduled for August right here in melbourne town.. fingers crossed.

I had a superb trip to Sydney for my first Finders Keepers Market hosted at the Carriageworks, what an amazing building. Our stalls were dotted amongst the industrial architecture, giant silo’s, cogs and oversized gantry’s poised themselves from a boomtime long ago. My space was darkened a little by the heavy beams of steel but fortunately I was back to back with lighting designer Fromage La Rue who illuminated my stall with bold oversized letter lights.
