Almost......


Our Balmain store is almost ready.  On Monday we open our doors to you all for the very first time!
We are so excited and can't wait to share a bit of 'Calico' love with Sydney.


Months of dreaming, planning, painting, building.....


............choosing, sourcing, waiting.....

       

........scouring.....

                                                                       


...........tying..............
                                                                     
       

...a little bit of sewing....


...primping, preening, tweaking....... and ' Little Calico' is oh , so nearly ready.

We open our doors:
 10am - 5pm  Monday - Saturday
10 Birchgrove Road, Balmain
9555 9909





And because we are in Balmain and Balmain is all about the dog, I need to share with you a little dog love.
This is Otto.

Hoping to see you in the shop soon. Sarah
