Hello!

I have been a bit neglectful of ii-ne-kore blog
over these past few weeks, I am sorry.
I hope you have all been well out there,
in blog, interweb, and real-life land.

I have a nice reason to be distracted -
we have been working hard on preparing 
to open a shop and gallery here in Melbourne.

It is a really exciting new venture,
one that I have dreamed about forever.
It is just amazing to have it become a reality.

....


MR KITLY is a shop and gallery in Brunswick, Melbourne.
Opening night December 2 from 6pm, 
Upstairs 381 Sydney road, Brunswick.
It would be so great to see you there.
(If you would like to come, and you like to schedule things in facebook,

MR KITLY shop will also open from the 2 Dec opening night. 
Pottery, printed matter, textiles and indoor plants. 
A collection of goods for life made by artists and artisans
in Australia, Japan, Korea, USA and Europe.

MR KITLY is a skylight and sun-lit space on the second floor
of a Victorian-era shop building.
We love our Brunswick neighbourhood,
and I love spending time pottering about, 
watering plants in our new space.

MR KITLY is a welcoming place that celebrates 
the hand-crafted, the unusual, the illuminating,
the imperfectly perfect, 
and the sunlit, small and beautiful things in life.

Would you like to know more?
I am working on getting together images 
of the opening exhibition, the shop, 
and also collecting some wonderful short interviews
and curated images by some of the artists and makers 
who are providing products for the shop. 
I will be posting the odd update here on ii-ne-kore,
(ii-ne-kore will also continue as my personal place to 
collect bits and pieces that i find beautiful and inspiring).

but there is also the MR KITLY website, 
facebook, the twitter and the blog. 
Phew. Basically the whole social media shooting match.
If you would like to follow any of these
to stay up-to-date with MR KITLY happenings,
that would be so lovely.


thanks for reading all the way to the bottom,
and a special thank you to those
who have followed ii-ne-kore,
both from the beginnings and more recently,
you have no idea how much happiness it brings.
