Pip Lincolne from Meet Me at Mike’s is super ace. When Miss Gem and the mesdames rocked up on her doorstep unannounced, instead of telling us to sod off, she invited us in for tea and brownies and a sneaky peak at Project Yellow Box. That kind of kindness deserves to be paid back in kind, so we heartily recommend you visit the Meet Me at Mike’s shop in Brunswick Street, Fitzroy in Melbourne. Or Pip’s blog if you haven’t stumbled across it already (and if you haven’t, where have you been hiding yourself?!). We also love her first book of crafty projects (pictured above) and are excited to hear that her second book Sew La Tea Do is not far away.

We have tittle tattled about Miss Gem here before, but oh my, it was so nice to spend some time with her in Melbourne. We don’t know how Gemma Jones can possibly be just the one person, given all the creative wonderfulness she does. See her art here, her blogs here and here, her shop here, her day job here and her writing here. I suspect she doesn’t sleep. She can’t possibly. Or maybe her work-a-day has an extra hour in it?!
So, where did our guide Gem take us for the most perfect of days out in Melbourne? The Camberwell Sunday Market (be sure to ask Madame Mitchell just how many vintage dresses she bought), lunch at Seven Seeds, a cup of tea with Pip and Cam from Meet Me at Mike’s, a mooch about Gertrude Street and a dip into Lost and Found (former home of Ray Cook ramekins – more – later). Could life be any sweeter?
Thank you Gemma.

The Envelope Project
June 16, 2010 / By Madame Dent

Super creative Pip Lincolne, blogger for Meet Me At Mike’s is such an M&D fave, all about ‘Good Stuff for Nice People’. How could we resist taking part in The Envelope Project? The Meet Me At Mike’s window in Melbourne will be transformed over the next fortnight by snail mail wonderfulness, sent from hither, thither and yon in decorated envelopes. Here is our little pre-decorated package before it hit the post. We can’t wait to see how it looks at the other end. We’ll be sure to post a link if we spot it (oh, and if you look carefully you might recognise some of the bits and bobs we sent).
