Getting to know……Julia from Chocolate Freckles

October 20 2011 By melbournemamma Leave a Comment

Each week I will be introducing you to a local retailer or designer, so you can get to know the talented people behind some of the stores & labels you already know & love and hopefully help you discover a few new favourites along the way.

 

This week we’re getting to know Julia from Chocolate Freckles in Essendon….

1. Describe your store in one sentence?

A colourful and unique local store where customers can source beautiful and original labels for their children.

 

2. What do you sell?

A large range of unique Australian (and some international) children’s clothing labels for children from baby to 8 years, children’s shoes, gifts and accessories.

 

3. What do you love most about what you do?

The freedom to choose what goes into the store and then the enjoyment I get from showing those choices to my customers and seeing it come to life on their children. Plus all the talking I get to do each day!

 

4. What are 3 of your favourite labels for kids?

Chalk n Cheese, Minti and Littlehorn are my 3 absolute current favourites.

 

5. What’s one item your kids can’t live without?

At the moment it is the Nintendo DS.

 

6. What’s one item you can’t live without?

My laptop and my iphone…they run my life!

 

7. Favourite place to shop for yourself?

I try to support local business whenever I can but I am loving Witchery this season too.

 

8. If you weren’t running the store what other job would you like to do?

I am a part time law student, so hopefully one day I will work in that field.

 

9. Favourite place to take the kids in Melbourne or Victoria?

Massive fan of Scienceworks and we also love going to the zoo!

I went into this book knowing very little about th I went into this book knowing very little about the Vietnam War, and it was a real eye-opener. 

Kristin Hannah has an incredible gift for bringing history to life, and The Women is no exception. This emotional and powerful story follows the experiences of women who served during the war - stories that are often overlooked - and it left a lasting impact on me. I love historical fiction, and Kristin is truly a master storyteller. 
 
My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Women can be heroes, too’. When twenty-year-old nursing student, Frances “Frankie” McGrath, hears these unexpected words, it is a revelation. Raised on California’s idyllic Coronado Island and sheltered by her conservative parents, she has always prided herself on doing the right thing, being a good girl. But in 1965 the world is changing, and she suddenly imagines a different path for her life. When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam, she impulsively joins the Army Nurses Corps and follows his path.

As green and inexperienced as the young men sent to Vietnam to fight, Frankie is overwhelmed by the chaos and destruction of war, as well as the unexpected trauma of coming home to a changed America. Frankie will also discover the true value of female friendship and the heartbreak that love can cause.”

Have you read this or any of Kristin’s other books?

After 10 weeks out with a pelvic fracture, it was After 10 weeks out with a pelvic fracture, it was great to see my boy back on the court last night doing what he loves. Your dedication to rehab and the patience you’ve shown have truly paid off. I’m so proud of you - 16 pts and 13 reb (+ a blood nose 🤧🩸) is an incredible return! Can’t wait to see what the rest of the season brings 💪🏻🖤❤️🏀
