Costa for Prime Minister?

Sighting of Costa - he is so animated it's hard to capture him in focus!

I had the pleasure of meeting Costa Georgiadis at the As Sustainably As Possible expo last Sunday at Marrickville. He is brilliant, I wish he would run for Prime Minister!! Goodness knows we need him....everything he said made so much sense, was so passionate and very wise, as well as humorous and astute. I've always admired him, but in real life he is so much more than on telly!  

Thanks Costa, because of your lecture and workshop I've now gone back to my garden and started my season with enthusiasm and renewed energy. And I'll be taking you up on the promise to visit my kids' school as well!

As sustainably as possible expo, Marrickville

It's turning into a busy season for me. I will be at this great event this coming Sunday in Marrickville, Sydney. Come along, it's going to be a great day for all the family. Even Costa is going to be there! Brillo!

Voting is open to both the marketplace and the design industry which uniquely allow consumers of craft a voice in the voting process.

Finalist and category winners in the 2013 Awards will be determined by a combination of a judging panel, industry and marketplace votes - by the average score across all three respective votes. This ensures that the Awards showcase the best of the design industry as determined by the market, industry and the panel.
