Christmas Countdown Local 2022 #8/25 : Painted Leaf Boutique



 

Christmas Countdown #8/25 
Today , I visited the Painted Leaf Boutique  ( Lambton, the suburb where I live) - I love this shop. It's local, sells quality and stylish clothing and accessories at reasonable prices and you always get a friendly welcome in the store. 

You can't go by without being enticed inside by the beautiful festive window display. What else would the Christmas tree  for a fashion boutique be constructed with  - wooden dress hangers in symmetry!  Isn't this  both a clever and elegant design? 



I thought this next image was rather typical of the season , The reflection in the  Christmassy window  is of a delivery truck passing by , delivering seasonal purchases no doubt! 


If you live in the area,  make this one of the places you might do some Christmas shopping .
Painted Leaf Boutique, 95 Elder Street, Lambton.

#SeptTextileLove26 Day 9

  ‘ Craft or Art?’ … a continuing complex question, with, I guess, has no definitive answer. I’ve often wondered about traditional practices especially … as an example , temari ( Japanese stitched thread balls ). Even authorities on temari have called it ‘an ancient folk craft ’ as well as a traditional, highly artistic culture and skill in that each design shows the unique characteristics of the maker’s free ideas and creativity. ‘ (Japan Temari Association)… My mother taught me to make temari and she would always consider her own creations ‘craft’ and to me they are ‘art’!  Craft or art? Does it really matter what we call the techniques or the outcome of what we create ?

#SeptTextileLove Day 10

  #SeptTextileLove #STL26Day10 ‘Low Impact ?’ … today I am highlighting an admirable decision by Newcastle ( NSW Australia) textile art gallery , Timeless Textiles . When you purchase from the gallery shop, the protective wrapping is made from recycled fabric - donated abandoned textiles, repurposed clothing and household linens, and sewing project scraps. Not only is this packaging practice low impact on the environment , it doesn’t cost much and making these bags requires minimal effort and only basic skills. However it has high impact as a thoughtful, aesthetic and sustainable retail practice. What other practices have you noticed retailers are using for a lower impact on the environment?
