Supporting local talent

Storytime with Canberra author Tania McCartney

One thing I love about my job is that I can support local talent. That is, Canberra region designers, manufacturers, and writers. Here's some of my favourites:

• Packs of 5 flannel/fleece wipes made by Belinda in Canberra;
• Locally made WildSlings ring slings (currently out of stock) and Acorn Baby mei tais (available for custom order in-store);
• Canberra authors David Vernon, Tania McCartney, Rhodanthe Lipsett, and Ingrid Jonach;
• Ultra-cool Fully Stoked bags and cot quilts, based in my suburb;
• New Canberra modern cloth nappy brand Monk N Bear; and
• To wash those nappies, Naturally Clean laundry powder and detergent, made in O'Connor.

And from just a little further away, Skeanie shoes (based in Goulburn); and from the south coast of NSW, PureWipes biodegradable instant wipes and Cherub Rubs organic skincare.
