Thankyou thankyou

Well I've been absolutely inundated with emails re our shop dilemma. And I thought I was the only one who kept their eye out for good little spaces! Thankyou everyone - I'm going to be very busy this week! I was especially excited by the prospect of moving into the old Darrell Lea space in Elizabeth St. Unfortunately the lease is a little expensive but I think I'll have to have a look, at least for curiosity sake!

I've also had lots of feedback regarding our new website which is also wonderful. Of course, it's still a work in progress which is why there isn't yet an explanation as to why the Steiner Doll (pictured) is faceless. I'll leave that up to Sooz to explain!

The good news or the bad news first?

So do you prefer the good news or the bad news first? I prefer to brace myself for the bad news first so if you’re like me, don’t check out www.aprilmay.com.au just yet, read on...

Aprilmay will be closing permanently on the 24th of December. We’ve been unable to renew our lease and so whilst we are looking for new premises, we’ll be trading every Friday, Saturday and Sunday (10-5) until Christmas. Which brings me to the fact that I completely forgot our Giveaway Day on the 1st so tomorrow we’ll be sending out Mistress of the Upper Fifth button brooches to anyone with the address of any great little shops for lease in the Melbourne inner city area.

The good news is that www.aprilmay.com.au is finally up and running (and is where you can find this wonderfully versatile Yolk dress) with plenty of new stock to be added over the next couple of weeks!

Peta Pledger Hawaiian Skirt

After Peta Pledger delivered her beautiful summer range of fifties dresses and skirts last week I couldn't help but try on this Hawaiian bark cloth skirt. Admittadly I pulled it on over my jeans and boots but even then it looked great so I figured it would be the perfect excuse to race out and buy a new pair of raffia thongs!
