image; lyn gardener, 2005 via the age Okay, so there I was standing in line at the deli of my local supermarket and in she walked looking head to toe adorable, little sundress, just the right amount of make-up and those curls piled high adorned with a single silver clip. Since this post, we've actually communicated a little after she wrote me a beautiful email, since then she has also visited Galmont a few times - when I haven't been around. So we had not actually met in person. She seemed in a rush, I was in a rush and I also happened to look like something the cat dragged in. (I remember hoping I wouldn't run into anyone as I left home...why does that always happen?!!)
What the heck - "Lyn! Hello, it's Shelley T from Galerie Montmartre.", I say. Graciously she smiled, we chatted a teensy bit and then she said the thing that you hope all style making, entrepreneurial women with an awesome eye would say, "Oh Shelley, you have a gorgeous shop......a goooooorrrgeous shop!" And with that, Lyn Gardener disappeared into the vegie aisle and I grabbed my dips and took my Target jeaned, surfie t-shirted, canvas footed self to the checkout!!

Why is it always that way!!!
Well she is certainly one talented lady..If it wasn't for the Melbourne winters.. that is where I would live for sure...visiting all the wonderful shops like yours and Empire Vintage
Ok Shelley... remember always look your best when you go to the grocers..
Have fun x Julie
It's Murphy's Law isn't it?? Whenever I decide to risk it and go out quelle daggy, I bump into someone who looks totally glam. She is divine, isn't she?!
I bet that was at Piedemontes! I bet. Or maybe it wasn't! But I bought my jeans at Target and I met Lyn too.. so maybe it's something to do with the Target jeans ATTRACTING Lyn Gardeners. We are QUITE the David Attenboroughs, no? We could do a show about the habits of Vintage Birds. And Lyn could be our number one Bird! Sorry I am fruit looping out a bit, but I share your enthusiasm for Ms G. x
I love Lyn's style! Reminds me of seeing Alannah Hill at the movies recently, and as such a fashion-confident (!?) lass she looked fantastic as I long for her kind of confidence in fashion/personal style... hard to try and not stare when you see these types around our town - at least you did the good thing and said hello!! :)
It is always the way, when you do not want to bump into anyone, you always see someone you know.
Thanks for leaving the comment on my blog. We are about 1 1/2 hours drive from Bordeaux in the Dordogne.
Happy to give you advise on the area should you need any :-)
