City of Sydney Libraries have free evenings to sit and listen; learn with creative individuals who follow their dreams.
A girlfriend and I found ourselves sitting alongside a whole raft of individuals listen to a wonderfully inspiring woman talking about her passion, and her ability to transform it into print, pages and pictures...... here is the snippet from http://whatson.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au website;
Settle in for an evening of fashion, fabric & style with two of Sydney’s chicest women. Join Kelly Doust and Jacinta Tynan as they discuss Kelly’s latest book,Minxy Vintage. Kelly will give you tips on how to breathe new style into vintage and retro clothes, how to find the best vintage pieces, and how you can you customise and wear them for an entirely modern look. Kelly & Jacinta will talk about everything from the publishing process to their musings on the notion of ‘style’ in this no-holds-barred discussion between two good friends.
Kelly Doust is the author of crafty titles The Crafty Minx, The Crafty Kid and Minxy Vintage, as well as the memoir A Life in Frocks. She has been scouring flea markets and charity stores for vintage fashion, fabric and homewares from her early teens, and making and reinventing things in her own trial-and-error way since she was a girl.
Jacinta Tynan is the author of Good Man Hunting (which earned her the accolade ’Australia’s answer to Carrie Bradshaw’, SMH) and Some Girls Do: My Life as a Teenager, she is also a columnist and a journalist and news presenter with Sky News Australia.
There will be a glass of bubbly & light supper to celebrate the occasion!
http://www.vintagetreasurehunt.com.au/ and the book looks damn fantastic, and if I was not trying to get back on track (not an excuse, a negative bank balance forced my decision) I would simply love this book so very very much!!
oh and the glass of bubbly got me too.... but for us; to treat ourselves, to learn, to heal and to get back out there, I hope this "FREE" little treasure hits a cord. DO IT I SAY, GRAB A GIRLFRIEND FIND ONE NIGHT AND JUST GO, this was my first time to try a night like this, and I will be going back.... xx
