HELLO LOVELY SMITTEN PEOPLE
And HELLO JULY!
How are you all going?
It's been a HUGE milestone week for us; Carl has finally been discharged AT LAST from the Austin hospital! It's all been quite surreal, and a wild mixture of joy, relief and disbelief. After ten long months - SO many emotions!! He is doing brilliantly - so positive and so delighted to be back in the world, and straight outside in 6 degrees to have coffee at the local cafe! Time to celebrate! I'm awed by his optimism and ability to enjoy the moment.
I think my Carl was always wise - but this Carl is certainly embodying the power of now and teaching us about it too
I know you've all been there beside us, so thank you for your love and support - I read him all your emails, he is very touched.

WINTER IDEAS
Some of our favourites for cold misty days... and our new menswear in 360g ponte, modelled by my lovely brother-in-law, Joe
Love my Smitten!
"I just wanted to tell you much I adore everything I have purchased from you. I wore my Florence dress today & had so many compliments. It is such a perfect fit & so flattering for a woman who has a few extra post-menopausal curves. I have not been disappointed with a single item I have bought from you." Linda
Thanks SO MUCH for being Smitten, for being a conscious slow fashion customer, for choosing to buy AUSTRALIAN MADE, and for supporting our local Tassie family business - it really makes a big difference, to our family, our team, our business and to the Australian economy.
Look after yourself and enjoy the cold winter and doing some hibernating! That's what winter is about...
