Golly this year has gone fast – and personally, it’s been a really great year. I’m still buzzing after our trip to Venezia and April in Paris, and unpacking after moving Circa. Change is always so invigorating and if you haven’t yet been to Italy I encourage you to do so: it’s heaven for art and culture lovers.

I’m going to have a few days off over the festive season but webshop orders will be processed as usual – and then in February I’m off to London. I’ve been accepted into a short course on fashion curating at my favourite museum, the Victoria and Albert! So exciting.

Thank you to everyone for your support in 2015, and I look forward to seeing you next year, with lots of fun things planned including a ’50s Australian couture exhibition and lots more library talks.

Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
