Here is a photo our our new Sophie Randall Toorak Rod shop from across the street.

We have now been open four days. Customers are kind with nice comments and other traders in the area hve been wonderful. We are starting to feel more at ease in this new home.

I love these small Charlie and Lola dolls.  They are a hoot.  We are seeing twenty-something girls giving them to girlfriends, proving that you are never too old for a doll.  I didn’t know much about Charlie and Lola until we got these dolls and other items from the range.  They are certainly popular.
