If you didn't grow up on carob buttons, fruit balls and soya chips, there is still time. Mrs Flannery's - Brisbane's premier supplier of all things organic and delicious - offers all these goodies and many more. We all know how good organic is for us (and old planet earth as well) - it's just a matter of price and convenience.
It's birthday season coming up, so you better get ready. Okay, we might not have any statistical proof of this, but there does seem to be an awful lot of births this time of year doesn't there?

Absolutely Fabulous is just one of the hidden treasures tucked away along the New Farm end of Brunswick Street. Just a short stroll down from the Alibi Room, you'll find a haven of trinkets and quirky goodies, including stacks of finger-monster puppets (you know, the type that were all the rage in grade three).
If you're looking for quality Japanese homewares and accessories, Shibui is the place to go. Even if you're not looking for quality Japanese homewares and accessories, Shibui is still the place to go. By the time you leave the store you will wonder how you ever lived without quality Japanese homewares and accessories.
The Ambiguous Horse of Pip Carroll's many-tentacled design agency is thankfully more ambiguous than Khartoum, the prize stallion that meets an unhappy end in The Godfather, but less ambiguous than the slack-jawed, talky-talky Mr Ed and those prancy, saccharine Little Ponies.Ambiguous Horse, in fact, is named after the optical illusion of its equine-silhouette logo, but all you need to know is that it's an agency that helps facilitate the awesomeness of many Melbourne designers by selling their wares online and helping out with the tricky stuff artisans are oft too busy to do.
You know that little stairway between Hopscotch and Hit And Run in the Valley? Looks a bit dank and hell seedy. Well there's a shop up there. Hiding. It's brand new, and a still a little shy, but the brave folk of FourThousand are happy to announce that it is worth the worrisome climb.
A discreet black door is all you will see on the outside.
Online shopping: for or against? I, personally, am for. Insert this into your vocabulary: “Ooooh”, “Aahhh”, then “Add to cart”. What’s not to love?
