Sydney Writer’s Zine Fair
For reasons I still don’t understand, I will be at the first Sydney Writer’s Festival zine fair with a few copies of Sharp and Pointy. If I see you, I’ll see you!
Cupcake Bakery – Paddington
Cupcake Bakery – Paddington Originally uploaded by mirvettium. While driving around Paddington for my Camera Craft 2 course I spied a cupcake shop from the corner of my eyes. After the course was finished I dragged T to find it, and lo and behold squished next to Mimco, the display glow like a beacon for… Continue reading Cupcake Bakery – Paddington
