After the exhibition

We had dinner at Giant Steps - rain continues...sorry not the best photos, but had to share the warning

I also had the pleasure of using a real photographer's (Thuy's) camera during the exhibition, he may share some of his or my photos, that is, if he likes any of them...







Unattended children will be given double espressos and made wild promises about what Santa is bringing them

Exhibition Opening at Three Stories

Today is a very rainy day in Melbourne

Not much to do but take photos... here are some of our Little Toys in store now.  Aly makes the body of toys from recycled woolen jumpers and faces with felted wool.  All hand made in Melbourne in MAIIKE studio.  They retail at AU$50.00 each. 

The skull bunny requires much more work, so she is AU$95.00



Before the opening

Tired Aly & Khiem.  She had to attend Life & Style fair up to our opening night, so I had to finish setting up the store with rest of the family.  It was sad not having her around during these days. 




Mick had to do laser cutting training for our plywood store sign.
