All things bright and beautiful




This is a totally biased blog but I'm so in love with this shop that I had to brag about it! My new but already very dear friend, Nic has opened a fabulous new shop on Bronte Road, called 'Better World Arts'. She asked me to help her last week with setting up the shop, and I had a wonderful few days wallowing in all kinds of gorgeous things and being allowed to play.

The name suggests perfectly what she stocks, which is everything fair trade, thereby allowing you to shop with a continence. She could very well have called it The Happiness Store - with all that eye-popping candy on the walls in pinks and oranges, blues and greens. There are original paintings by well known, and not-so, aboriginal artists. There are also rugs and textiles produced in collaboration with artists and weavers. Also baskets and bright hand painted jewels, along with hanging space for perfectly formed Christmas decorations. Prices are more Waverley than Woollahara. In fact, all my christmas shopping done in one hit. Can't say fairer than that!
