The team at Local Shop / Flowers by Entwine have put all my favourite things into their Christmas window. Vintage style ornaments, faux trees, spindly legged, glitter encrusted reindeer…So much to love.

Farewell LUPA
The LUPA retail spaces are closing. Don’t fret – the team have great plans for future adventures, AND their huge farewell sale starts today! Cheers Davina and everyone for 16 fabulous years, can’t wait to see what you do next…
Shakshuka and ice cream @ Tahina
Tahina serves great vegetarian Israeli street food. Everything on the blackboard looks delicious, and the shakshuka comes in three colourways – white, red and green. My green platter (baked eggs with broccoli, avocado and zucchini) was delicious, and my friend was very happy with her red (spicy tomato sauce) one. Somehow we also found room for the medjool date ice cream, made by the folks at Billy Van Creamy. A huge and very satisfying brunch! Find Tahina at 223 High St, Northcote.
Taiyaki @ Sweet Salt
Thank you Sweet Salt for bringing Taiyaki to Northcote! I’m happy to say they serve ice cream Taiyaki also, which they make in-house. And yes, both are delicious…Find Sweet Salt at 296 High St, and make sure you leave room for dessert.
Laneway witches
The Mouse Witch and her owl arrived in Northcote today, along with a few smaller friends. Have you met them yet?

Calm : Japanese Flavour Research
Great pasteup by Calm. Nice to come home after 5ish weeks travelling and find this in High Street…
be free zine volume 8
Just got home after a long, cold day to find this zine in my mailbox. Be Free only made 50 copies, so I’m extra thrilled to have one. There’s lots of photos inside, a blog post of mine, and two by Alison Young AKA Images To Live By. So happy to be in such excellent company, and part of Volume 8! Thank you Be Free!
welcome and goon hugs
Real Australians say welcome – and goon hugs. Where else but Northcote? Peter Drew’s Welcome posters have become cross stitch, knitting patterns (thanks to Sayraphim Lothian), goon hugs pasteups and probably all sorts of other things too. Enjoying all of this immensely…
