Meh. I am who I am. Canberra based. Suburb ensconced. Blessed with small girl people who have helped me be who I am because they need to feel good about being who they are. It seems self evident that I would find and live a life dedicated to beautiful things, especially old ones, to the point that I’m a bit perplexed as to why it has taken this long. Day job burnout & chronic illness turned out to be a blessing, as I am able to explore what might be if I follow this dream in my head. I’ve always loved to dress fabulously. I’ve always loved history, and the 20th century is my thang (even when I was living in it).
Now I spend my days sewing and working on being able to make the fabulous just the way I see it sparkling in my head. I regret not listening to my nanna more, and asking more questions. In the meantime, I’m asking questions of myself, and of the internet and chasing down beautiful things.
Hello there
Today I bought a pair of 1943 Royal Australian Navy gabardine trousers from your stall at University House ANU and I am SO happy I did and can’t wait to wear them. Thank you for taking such great care of beautiful vintage clothes and I hope to see more of your stall around Canberra! Best wishes Kristine

Marc, I’ve decided to follow you here (so I don’t have to Insta, and you don’t have to FB!). I did just see the Dirty Janes write up in the Canberra Times (https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/6630976/dirty-janes-part-of-fyshwicks-evolution/) and am so excited for you! I shall be aiming to visit within the year for sure. Lots of love, Kirryn
