Staff profile: Cathryn!!




About me:

A child of the Sunshine State, I moved to Melbourne in 2010, after an adventure filled year backpacking all over the great seas, I had arrived home a little sullen and bored. Upon a short visit to Melbourne I thought 'Yes thank you, here's nice, I'll just pull up a chair and join in shall I?'. I'm a self confessed serial book worm, with a penchant for attacking several books at any given time, depending on what my mood is, resulting in some good humored ribbing from mynnearest and dearest. When I don't have my head stuck in a book you'll either find me lazing in my local park scribbling and cloud watching or holed up in any cafe that can supply a steady enough stream of macaroons to keep a Russian army fed.

What do you love about working at dorothy&evelyn?

Its a bit like going to a convention, everyone has something in common because there's always something for everyone and that's why they're there, whether it's seeds for the garden or a funny little card, that's a nice feeling.

How long have you worked at dorothy&evelyn?

Since August, I'm the new kid on the block.

What's your fave product in the store right now?

I love the teacup candles, when I first saw them I had one of those 'Why didn't I think of that moments, I love tea, I love candles.... I've bought them for friends and family, myself of course, after all you can never have enough prettily scented candles displayed in beautiful vintage teacups can you? No, I don't think so.

Favourite Blogs/Websites?

I'm more of an information you can hold in the palm of your hand, words you can literally eat if you so wish kind of gal, but when I do join the rest of the world I like these guys..

http://theburninghouse.com/ - If your house was burning what would you take?
http://www.fashiontoast.com/ - If I didn't admit to this one I'd be lying to myself. This is exactly what is sounds like, fashion for breakfast. Anyone who can make a dollar out of their choice in threads is a genius in my eyes. Perfect consumed with a steaming brew.
http://www.trotski-ash.com/ - a Melbourne based pair sharing their recipe splendor with us rather lacking kitchen creativity
http://oraclefox.blogspot.com/ - A constant source of style when one is craving a little inspiration
