Just in case you’re desperate to make a purchase from our lovely shop ( it doesn’t look so great today. Sick actually) you’ll find it very hard, well impossible actually to get past the checkout. I know you’re thinking ‘rats’ I really wanted one of those spectacular new vintage linen kooky souvenir cushions today. Well, fear not. You can just email me and I will sell one to you. Couldn’t be simpler. They are really nice. Happy shopping!

Our first Pecha Kucha will happen in March 2010 at the Museum of the Riverina Historic Council Chambers.
