Exploring Brisbane – Brisbane Open House 2015
Posted on 27 October 2015.
Ever wondered what lies behind some of Brisbane’s iconic buildings? Are you like me and always drive or walk past these magnificent places and think I wonder what that looks like inside? It’s for these very reasons I dragged a good friend Rae along to this year’s Brisbane Open House. This is a free event […]

Brisbane songstress releases cheeky new album
Posted on 04 October 2015.
Brisbane’s Jackie Boccaccio, 20, has always been known for her cheekiness, but now it’s literally out of this world. Not content with just producing a song as part of her final studies at Bachelor of Music at the Queensland University of Technology, Jackie decided to go the extra mile and self-fund her first album based […]

Sunday Social: A vintage gem at Winn Lane
Posted on 27 September 2015.
In our house Sundays are truly as easy as a Sunday morning. Given our unusual work schedules, we try to reserve the day for relaxing, catching up and basically doing our best impersonations of lizards who graze all day. Just bliss. While the word Sunday can strike fear in many with its close proximity to […]

Can you keep a secret?
Posted on 30 August 2015.
Can you keep a secret? Well, I can’t. One of my favourite vintage shops in Brisbane, Can You Keep A Secret, is moving and expanding. The cool vintage shop was located at Greenslopes for more than four years, but for a number of reasons they needed to move. Owners Ajanta and Emily are moving their much-loved […]

Brisbane Scout: discovering the city’s hidden gems
Posted on 09 August 2015.
Brisbane is truly the Cinderella of Australian cities. It’s gorgeous, but just needs a fairy godmother to highlight what’s underneath the somewhat bland exterior. I was at a dinner recently with some good friends and a girlfriend wisely said ‘Brisbane is beautiful, but it’s only a great place to visit if you know someone, a […]

You are overdue a visit to the library!
Posted on 23 May 2015.
I have extremely fond memories of visiting libraries. From flirting with the cool dude at the school library to spending weeks-upon-weeks looking up old newspaper stories on the library’s digital files while researching for a book, to now joining my local library today. Today, I proudly dragged the Pom into the local library for three […]

Recent scouts
Posted on 05 April 2015.
I’ve been rather busy with life of late. New job, new renovations in the pipeline, new vegetable garden and, well, just loving life. But don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten about Scout & Finch. In my recent travels, I’ve been collecting a few things that I’ve scouted out and want to share with you. So here […]

The soul of Seoul
Posted on 22 February 2015.
We always like to break up our trips back to England with a short stopover in Asia – both to help us break up the boring flights, and also as a “free” way to see another country we might not otherwise get to visit. Last year, the place of choice was Seoul in South Korea, […]

Big Vintage at Salisbury
Posted on 03 October 2014.
Last December three things happened. Some big fat jolly dude who has a serious obsession with red fell down some chimney after too many egg nogs; I turned a year older and got more grey hair; and one of Brisbane’s coolest furniture stores swung open their big antique doors. Big Vintage at Salisbury. Mark it […]

The Kindness Project
Posted on 28 September 2014.
About 12 years ago, I had just moved into uni accommodation and within a minute of putting the last box down there was a knock at the door. It was Chris (or Critter as we call him) and he wanted to introduce himself as my new neighbour. From right there, a long friendship began. Even […]
