Meet the team
Today, our shop in King Street, Newtown continues to provide the tranquil oasis and friendly service upon which we have built our reputation. Our range is always evolving with new titles and gifts coming in weekly. We have made many friends through our street presence and are happy to say that our move from a warehouse in the back streets of Newtown to the main drag has been not just a step but a leap forward in providing customers with a positive and meaningful buying experience.

Being one of the original business founders, who has an ear for music, informing the ambience of the shop that you all love!

She's our display expert, matching products, colours and a certain je ne c'est quoi to engage your attention as you walk by, enter and explore our beautiful shop.
