It has been a while…7 years in fact…since I closed the doors on The Something Different Shop in Hawthorn. I’ve been fortunate to spend a lot of that time with family and friends, travelling the world, pursuing my love of all things great in Art and Design and of course collecting textiles. It’s time to start creating again…watch this space…new goodies coming soon!

The phrase 'Bottoms Up' springs to mind!! These two bottoms are not coming with @thesomethingdifferentshop on it's next adventure and so they are for sale. $50 for the pair... I am open today until 5pm . Sunday 9.30am - 3pm and Monday 9.30am - 5pm.. come visit and say goodbye!! #shopfittings #vintageshopfittings #shopstands #shopmodels

My New Year break has taken me to Malaysia...a short stop in Kuala Lumpur to enjoy some great food and hunt down some new textiles!! ...on my walks I found some beautiful examples of Islamic architecture set amongst the mundane building blocks of the city...quite breathtaking..

The shop is now closed and will reopen on Tuesday 24th January....until then!!💃💃🎉🎉 #2017 #artisans #creatives #accessories #giftware #handmade #madeinmelbourne #shoplocal #hawthorn #thesomethingdifferentshop
