Let's Go Shopping...


Like eBay? You’re gonna love Etsy – the ‘place to buy and sell all things handmade’. WARNING: Have water and maybe a snack handy; you’re gonna be a while.
This worldwide marketplace showcases thousands upon thousands of things made - and often conceived - by the seller, from whom you buy directly (so it’s generally inexpensive). Need some thing that’s red? Search all categories by colour. Want to buy local? Search by location. Or just browse. Even if you buy nothing, it’s pure inspiration to see how many creative people there are out there turning ideas into things.

Slow guides

The Slow Guides are for anybody who wants to slow down and live it up, seachange without shifting postcode. They celebrate all that’s local, natural, traditional, sensory and most of all gratifying about living in Sydney and Melbourne. Click on a book for a preview.

How to buy a book

Start off slow and get your book the old-fashioned way; pop into a store and say g’day. But if you’re too entranced with what’s happening in your garden, or too preoccupied gazing on a cloud, you could always order one online.
