🎄 Have you seen our Chrissie window?? We’ve been busy getting into the festive spirit in time for our Christmas Shopping Night tomorrow evening, and we reckon it all looks rather spectacular!

Come see our little postbox for Santa, our gorgeous paper lanterns and hanging baubles, tinsel galore, our Christmas lamp, teeny little nutcrackers and trains in the window, and even the flying reindeer in the kids section 🎅 🌟 ❤️

And a reminder that we want to see YOU tomorrow at 6pm for our Christmas party, featuring live music, champagne, nibbles, and a special gift-wrapping station.

The latest Helen Garner has arrived and is already

The latest Helen Garner has arrived and is already kicking goals! There was much pre-game excitement around the release of ‘The Season’ and we’re thrilled to let you know it’s now off the benches and jogging onto the field…

‘The Season’ is Garner’s first new work in a decade in which she portrays the relationship between grandmother and grandchild through the game of footy, specifically the under 16s team — their games, their training, their defeats and triumphs.

In store now! Swipe through to read the blurb and the first page… ☺️
