Thanks for shopping small, Melbourne! We had an incredible weekend at the Royal Exhibition Building, celebrating the work of more than 270 creative small businesses. Over three chilly but beautiful days, we enjoyed showcasing mindful making and thoughtful shopping with our community of Melbourne design lovers!
