I’m 27, I work in a library with more craft books than even I could ever read, I can make things for you, and all this makes me very happy.
My happy, scrappy, rainbow coloured, retro flavoured pieces are one of a kind and made by me. They will make you smile, every time you look at them. They’re more afraid of getting bored than getting dirty. If you have one, and you feel like there’s an 80% chance of synchronized singing on the way to work, they’re happy. They don’t want to talk about politics on your first date: they’d rather go dancing.

You should check out Reenie-su (http://reeniesu.blogspot.com/). I’ve swapped items with her and be comment regularly with each other, as well as explore the idiosyncrasies of speaking the same language 1/2 a world away. If I could come to Australia, I’d want to meet both of you, but since you both live in Melbourne… maybe you can meet on my behalf! Suzy

Hi Anne, I just read your post about the Mekong restaurant.
In reply, you should try Nhu Lan bakery in Footscray for good banh mi – the best actually. They have a store in Richmond, but I’ve not yet tried and compared as to whether it’s the same quality-wise.
