Swap til you Drop

Who said swap meets were reserved for people who build their own computers (!) and tinker with their car a lot? Clothing-focused swap meets, for ladies, mean you can walk in with an armload of unwanted clothes, and walk out with an armload of clothes you want. Around six garments is the norm.
At For Better or Purse, monthly in Fitzroy, some profits go to the International Women’s Development Agency (IWDA). My Sister’s Wardrobe is on monthly at the Croft Institute, and at the Rose Street Artists’ Market in Fitzroy (18 July); the $18 entry price includes wine.

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.
