just starting to recover from the FKM on the weekend. assisted by a few wonderful elves, we had a super time.
it was so cool to meet loads of lovely people & we were just a little surprised by all the attention. thanks to everyone that came & said hi!
after a little rest, now slowly getting back to routine, & the shop will be updated soon with new linens, as well as our carte postale series.
also some christmas inspired lines are in the works, including limited edition noël le petit bateau kit & garlands.
will leave you now with some photos of the {oldyarns.} stall & the Old Brisbane Museum itself. a graceful old beauty indeed.
