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.
