Opening this Friday night at Dante’s - and continuing all week. The first Gertrude Street Digital Media Festival!

When: Friday June 20th to Friday June 27th, from 6pm to 11pm every night.

Where: eight venues on Gertrude street.

What: digital images will be displayed in shop windows and projected onto the pavement.

Thanks to the Gertrude Association for organising this: it’s great to see community arts projects getting off the ground, especially ones that promise to be as interesting as this one.

Come and see Gertrude Street After Dark!

This weekend, Alice Euphemia is hosting a vintage fabric and vintage clothing sale. I popped down there this afternoon for a sneak peek and snaffled some great ’50s barkcloth prints.

From the mailing list.

Join us for a special sale of vintage and retro fabrics.

Oh…and there may also be some retro and vintage finds from avid collectors of another sort. For two days only. Cash Only.

Lovely peoples,

A short update on what’s happening at Circa Vintage Clothing.

The Collectors
Apologies for the late notice, but if you’re watching ABC’s “The Collector’s” tonight (8.00pm), keep an eye out for Circa regular and all round fabulous dresser, Dr Lynn Savery. Lynn will be talking about her extensive vintage clothing collection, focusing on the glamour years of the ‘forties and ‘fifties.

Tomorrow in the shop, Kali Rose and I will be wearing some of our best hats in her honour, and as always, we encourage others to dress up too.

Birthday Sale
Next week marks three years since Circa opened and we’re celebrating by having a Sale! Most items will be reduced: 20% off all day dresses, shirts, suits, jackets, knitwear, skirts and trousers….mens wear as well as womens wear. Half price on all remaining overcoats and some other items that we’ve had for a while. If something that you like is not already on sale, please, make us an offer

The Sale will start tomorrow (Saturday August 11th) and go until the following Saturday (August 18th). Layby as always, is available.

Whilst on Gertrude Street…
You might like to pop into see the latest addition, Alice Euphemia, who have opened up two doors down. Meanwhile, next door at Codename Tom, it’s the final week of their Relocation Sale - prices are marked down by 25% or more, so it’s a great chance to grab some lovely mid-century furniture or knick knacks.

That’s all for now - all the best and hope to see you soon,

Nicole

This week on Gertrude Street….latest addition is Alice Euphemia, celebrating their tenth birthday with a new store! Very excited to have them here, only two doors down from Circa.

Codename Tom next door, continue their Relocation Sale. No word yet on their new home - I have my fingers crossed that something suitable near by will be found, a nice big shop for all their mid-century furniture and collectibles. It will be a pity if Gertie loses them.

Down the road towards Smith street, Obus are also on sale - they’re open seven days a week at number 226, across the road from the Enoteca.

I was going to tell you about Eric Henshall’s new show, upstairs at Dante’s but sadly, it’s already finished. If you get a chance to catch his paintings depicting many local sights, amongst other things, I recommend it. Here’s a painting from his last show, depicting Circa and the shop (that was next door) Victorian Gothic. The original now graces my loungeroom wall.
