STORY – Cloth, Manor & Fable

Fashion / Good Reviews

1.1

Monique Germon has launched a new collection of tales, images and treasures at STORY. Chapter one is named Cloth, Manor & Fable. Here we share a preview of the richness you will find on this extraordinary retail site –  Daniela Miotto’s Tale of Generosity from the STORY site:

TALES OF GENEROSITY – WINNING ENTRY BY DANIELA MIOTTO
When I sit to consider an individual tale of generosity that’s been granted to me and mine, there are so many to list. I suppose this in itself is a large enough ember to warm my hands by for the rest of my lifetime. Yet, one act of selflessness and offering sans condition does stand alone.
Here is Jackie. She is tall. Her hair is bobbed and her teeth are dull coloured with a tip made of gold in the front. When she talks about her husband she calls him “Fuckin’ Pete”. Often her chin is placed in a permanent shrug. This makes me wonder about her thoughts. I never know what’s happening inside her, but I never worry about where she’s at. I like Jackie.
She was my mother’s true friend.
Here is Kay. She was my mother. She killed herself in August 2006. On the day she died I thought I could feel the ground shaking from the body weight of all of those who loved her falling to their knees in disbelief upon hearing the news of her violent fate.  We were gutted and knee-capped. We still are.
On that day Jackie came to my house. I sat shaking my head. She kneeled holding my hand. We couldn’t even cry.
This death caused a shattering and scattering of people. I’ve heard this is common when death-by-self happens. Near no one from my mother’s life came to our aid. Near no one could place their grief and shock aside to come to the aid of their friend’s orphaned adult children. Jackie though. She did.
She followed me around for weeks. I barely remember her face or voice from that time.
Her gift to me was presence. She placed her broken heart behind mine.
She didn’t tell me what clothes to choose to bury mum in. She stood behind me while I ripped clothes out of her cupboard and threw them all over the room … scattering and shattering. When I finally I chose, hours later, she muttered “Good job” and carried the bag of clothes and my heart to her car ready for another trip to the funeral director.
When I had to choose a box for burial, she was there. When I had to choose to view the body or not, she was there. Silent. When I, when I, when I and then. She was there. Silent. Tall. Bobbed. And likely to have been “Fuckin’ Kay-ing” under her breath.
Five years later she is still there. Now though she chats, we laugh and she bakes us bread. Still though in her silent way, she pays homage to her friend Kay by placing her children’s pain in front of her own. And for this act of love and faith to my mother and generosity of self to me and mine I will be forever grateful.
Jackie is tall.

Book fast for FoodPath’s Winter Tour

Food

alpacas

Jill and Nick at Foodpath tours are finalising a new tour for Winter – A Day in Canyonleigh. This is likely to be in July. Get in touch via the link if you are interested. We expect these spots to go quickly.

Did you know this is an area with a different micro-climate to the rest of the Highlands? It is warmer and drier which is good for growing Shiraz. The Highlands is made up of different micro-climates which they will explore with you.

On the Canyonleigh tour Jill and Nick hope to visit a couple of vineyards, an olive farm and an alpaca farm. There are no cellar doors in this area but the General Store sells all the local wine – so you will have lunch and a wine tasting of the local wines at the Canyonleigh General Store (which SOHI hears has the most incredible burgers in the Highlands!)

Milk Thieves Art & Design – need to know

Craft / Good Reviews / SOHI Calendar

cs1

Milk Thieves Art & Design is moving! The only store in central Wollongong that specialises in handmade and independent Australian design is moving to a more spacious store – with window frontage! Moving to shop 9, 157 Crown St; the grand re-opening of Milk Thieves is Tuesday 31st May, from 10am – 6pm. There will be giveaways, free sweet treaties and the first 20 customers to spend $30 or more will get a special Milk Thieves tote bag to carry their purchase.

The new store is easier to find, located just at the top of the stairs of 157 Crown St, in the mall (stairs located next to Flightcentre). The added space will allow Milk Thieves to stock more handmade goods and independently published craft, design and art magazines and zines.  “I’m really excited about the potential the new space has – it means I can extend my product ranges and even give customers lovely warm cups of tea while they’re browsing” store owner Emma-Lee Crane said.

The first feature artist for the store is the talented Caitlin Shearer.. Shearer paints sultry and fashionable ladies – sometimes dressed to the nines, other times lounging in the nude – but always beautiful. Caitlin’s work can be viewed and purchased at Milk Thieves until the end of August (sample images above). Additional work can be viewed at: http://www.caitlinquiet.blogspot.com/

Milk Thieves Art & Design is open Tuesday – Saturday from 10 am. For current opening hours and regular stock and news updates anybody can follow:
