She arrived at the door clutching a large Allens bag. "Put that away!" I cried, not wanting to count any more Ins than I needed to. But she changed my mind with the magic words "But there's alcohol in here.." and so I let her (and the bag) in.
Good thing I did too. Yes siree! There was a bottle of Baileys in there (oh WHAT a shame Taph can't drink the stuff, and that it doesn't count for Seven Things) but also lovely fabricy wonderfulness including the most fantastic red black and white chintzy print:
another white toothbrush for my collection and a copy of The Art of Selling Craft in Australia. I always love Taph's bags of goodness...
another white toothbrush for my collection and a copy of The Art of Selling Craft in Australia. I always love Taph's bags of goodness...In return Taph got her own bag of goodness (she informs me that Private W. Conway is known as Bill to his friends) which held a bar of chocolate (alas not counted as an Out), 5 magazines and 2 videos. Which means we're about even :-)
And I think the jury's still out on the venues. I like Trinity for its comfy couches, nice music and the fact the girl behind the bar is knitting-friendly. But as Taph pointed out, the lighting's pretty bad for people who need to actually see their knitting plus there is no cake and they made a point of telling us they're not crash-hot at using the coffee machine.
The Old Canberra Inn has better lighting but the chairs are pretty awful. The open fire is a plus but the two TVs (playing different things) are a bit of a drawback. Oh, and I don't think they have cake either...
I think we need to undertake some more research. Any ideas?

Tradies? I haven't been there for years, so don't know if they have comfy chairs.
Otherwise, Tilley's could be an option - some of their chairs inside are comfortable (I'm not talking about their booths) plus they have decent cake, nice coffee and a huge variety of wines and beers.
I'll keep thinking ...
I think there's, let's say a history with Tilleys and SnB... but I think it'd be worthwhile finding out what it is and seeing if we can reconsider it as an option.
I did suggest The George Harcourt Inn but that might be a little bit too far north for some people.
Fabric piles can only be too high when you are in danger of being crushed to death by a fabric avalanche.
...and I can't link to your Made It site any more.
There's a scary thought (but an interesting photo op!) Jay.
As for not being able to link to my Made It store - I just checked the link on the side bar and it seems to be working just fine (?!)
