Little sisters

May 15th, 2012

The thing about little sisters is that they grow up…. and I have two, neither of whom live in Perth anymore. We have each worked in various roles within the Corner Store family. I started working with the Corner Store creators and founders way back in 2000 managing a clothing shop with the only other employee being one of my little sisters – Carine. Carine was studying photography at the time….. wow has she grown up…

If you are in Melbourne hear her complete career story by showing up and supporting Carine Thevenau at the agIdeas conference and immerse yourself in inspirational company including our beloved Perth artists Stormie Mills and Shaun Tan.

Look out for work from her with Corner Store in the future and meanwhile see the links below. We will get to the other little sister and her Swedish design adventures another time….

Here is our brand spanking new mirrored wall installation. Love! There were loads of lovely mums and children in the shop yesterday. I hope that you all had a nice day with your mum. Did you have a picnic? Cook her a delicious cake? Speaking of cakes, I can’t stop reading Meg’s Miette book. It has me in a permanent state of hunger.

Hello!

Terribly sorry for the quiet blog yesterday. I was busy battening down the Corner Store hatches due to the lovely rain we had in Perth.

Mother’s Day is just around the corner. Give your mum a squeeze right now if she is near. Here are my top picks for mum worthy gift wrapping ideas. Which one do you like best? What are you doing with your mum this Sunday?

I wonder if this tiny little fox cub will make his mum a macaroni necklace this Mother’s Day?

We are getting our blog on – slowly but surely! Our small team of contributors (including me – Hi! I’m Kylie) will reveal themselves as the month of May fills out and while the weather here is a beautiful blue/grey I thought the young Natalie Prass would suit a smooth transition into the working week….
