Name Change

Since launching Champagne & Chandeliers just under four months ago, I have been debating changing the name.  What can I say, I get bored easily.   Well, I finally got around to doing it and effective immediately, Champagne & Chandeliers is christened See You Anon!   Check out the new site and well, see you anon.

Kulchi

Well, Jones The Grocer on Moncur Street, Woollahra has shut its doors for those of you who care.  I don't fit into that category.  In fact, I'm excited to see that a new homewares store is opening in its place, just around the corner from home.  Kulchi (translation: "Everything" in Arabic) sells everything Moroccan.  The owner is Australian and sources her carpets, rugs and other homewares from Morocco.  I can't wait for Kulchi's doors to open.   In the meantime, check these pieces out.

Word On My Street

We had a Council clean up this weekend.   The pavements were filled with the usual variety of chairs, mattresses and other household bits and pieces.  Treasures people once loved enough to buy and keep in their homes, were now nothing but trash tossed out on the street.  

I've always been a bit skeptical of the "scouring the pavements for trash/treasure" activity loved by more people than I care to imagine.    I'm still very much of the view that if someone is giving something away, there is something wrong with it.     This all started when we planned a little neighbourhood get together this weekend.  It had a BYOC (bring your own chair) theme, which had to be sourced from the Council clean up.  It turned into a funny exercise and became quite competitive (who could find the finest chair/stool etc...).

The Boyfriend managed to find himself a Ligna chair (made in Czechoslovakia).   Quite a find as I understand they can retail for a few hundred dollars.  I'm now in two minds on whether (using discretion, judgment and moderation of course) you may be forgiven for finding yourself a treasure on the pavement.

Have you or would you pick something up "curbside" during Council clean up?  I'd love to hear the best thing you've found.

Meet Ligna!  The new addition to our furniture family.

A Secret Park

When was the last time you took yourself to the park? Not your dog or your kids etc... yourself?   About a month ago, after dinner and drinks, The Boyfriend and I stumbled across a cute little park in Paddington on our walk home.   It has become my favourite urban space.  It's fun hopping on the swing and just flying back and forth through the air.  I highly recommend it.
