(book.inspiration) meet me at mike's







Sometimes Girl with a Satchel hits the nail on the head. She did this past week when she said Pip Lincolne from the shop Meet Me At Mike's was the Carrie Bradshaw of craft. Too funny and too true. I've been enjoying Pip's stream of twitter comments at all hours of the day. It does make me wonder, though, how on earth she finds time to knit, crochet, bake... Well, somehow, she does, and Pip has even created the most beautiful, wonderful book - of the same name as her Melbourne shop - Meet Me At Mike's.
