Rooftop cinema's are a great idea.

The National Trust is holding it's annual vintage clothing sale at South Yarra. All proceeds raised go towards the conservation of the National Trusts costume collection. This might be worth a trip across the boarder...

One for the Sydney Loungers.
The Norman Lindsay Gallery is holding a new exhibition that focuses on the wonderful Lindsay home "Springwood" as it was in the 1930's as a family residence (as opposed to it's current use as an art gallery). http://www.normanlindsay.com.au/events/the-lindsays-at-home-1912-2012.php

Hi all,

Opened my Etsy store last week. Just wanted to let fellow Aussie and NZ Loungers know that I'll be listing A LOT of the gear from the 20s to the 60s in the coming weeks. And postage is cheaper if you live in Oz ;P Named the shop after my Nana 'Violet' or 'Vi' to her friends, who got me going to rummage sales and op shops from the age of about 4 and had a lot to do with my love the past.

I was out at Phillip Island last w/e; the black swans are nesting and some even had their cygnets come out for a swim. It's a great time for birdwatching at present.

Glenn Miller Orchestra comes to Sydney!

I glommed eight tickets for a group of friends to dig GM's Orchestra at the State Theatre in October. I last saw the orchestra way back in 1994, with Beryl Davis singing. Looking forward to this one!
