So for some time now, we've wanted to do 2 things...

1. Indulge our visual merchandising side more in a shop where we can use the walls & the space inhabit better....

2. Create a semi-permanent space where we can lay down some roots for 6 months WHILST running other pop up spaces simultaneously. As fate would have it, we were offered a great space in 1 of our fave locations thus far; SO:ME space at the South Melbourne Markets. So, we are very excited to announce that we will soon be SuperCoolling in 3 different ways to cater to our expanding fans and growing our little business.

1. You can buy online - anytime. We'll be adding more stock and more vintage pieces to the website more regularly.

2. You can come to our semi-permanent shop at SO:ME space - Open Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays from late June. We'll be changing the store around regularly and adding themes with our visual merchandising & we've got some cool (secret squirrel) stuff happening that will be super fun & interactive!

3. You can come visit us at our next pop up locations as we announce them - We'll still be roaming around various neighbourhoods and we have some pretty exciting collaborations coming up.

This way we're going to the people (that's you) in ways that suit you. You might want to come into the semi-permanent shop and check out our wares and have a chat... sometimes you need an urgent gift and you'll want to buy online... sometimes you might want to find our next pop up location and stalk us.... we don't mind - as long as you keep on thinking about us and occasionally fork over some cash for some SuperCool goodies!

We'll be bringing you some behind the scenes photo's from the setting up of our new semi-permanent shop at SO:ME space.

Just follow us for updates on   twitter , facebook , instagram or pinterest ....

Imagine a world where your tearsheets from inspirational mags, screenshots from blogs and sharing these ideas and moodboards with others could merge? Imagine not having to pay for this service?

Imagine you kept on being told by creative friends - "You'll get addicted to this... seriously...!" Imagine this place where creativity met organisation..... apparently its called Pinterest!

In a world where social media and technology connection seems to overwhelm our lives, it took us a while to realise that Pinterest was worth the extra time in our day....

If only we had fallen in love sooner! So TheSuperCool is officially on Pinterest - we're quite obsessed... repinning like crazy and finding new inspirational images and blogs that are just begging to be pinned and shared.

If you're already on Pinterest - follow us here ... If you're not - believe me.. join the fun. This is awesome and much more visually stimulating and fun compared to twitter & facebook (in our humble opinion!)

Yes, that's right folks. Our next location is in Sydney... we are officially becoming a NATIONAL mobile shop (well Sydney is helping us become somewhat national, no?)

After our success at the Melbourne Finders Keepers market, we decided to make the long trek up the highway to Sunny Sydney (please be sunny Sydney. Melbourne is truly Wintery!)

So for all our Sydney fans out there who have begged we visit, we're making a brief appearance at the start of June! Yay. Details below.

Dates: Friday 1 June - Saturday 2 June 2012

Times: Friday 6pm - 10pm Saturday 10am - 5pm

Location: CarriageWorks, 245 Wilson Street, Eveleigh, Sydney Click here for the map location

We'll be bringing our awesome display props including our flower cart, our industrial folding ladders & LOTS of SuperCool stuff to sell to you PLUS a SUPERCOOL REDUCED box of bargains. So you don't want to miss out.

So its nearly time to pack up our stuff and move on again..... We've so enjoyed being in the loading dock at Great Dane and it will be sad to say ciao.

As we'd ideally like to pack up as little as possible, we're offering a special closing up shop promotion....

SPEND $50 and get 1 free mini milk bottle (whilst stocks last)

SPEND $100 or more and get $15 back....

This offer applies Thursday 17 - Sunday 20 May (we open Thursdays - Saturdays 10am - 4pm and Sunday 11am - 4pm) Last day is Sunday 20 May. Location details here. So if there's something you had your eye on... now's the time to "show us the $$".  We've also got new Japanese vintage boxes & suitcases, Charley Harper kids books, memory games & giant jigsaw puzzles and a variety of new design books. New issues of Collect mag and as mentioned on facebook we've got new stock in of our best sellers; colourful ceramic doorknobs, mini milk bottles, Mr & Mrs signs and vintage kids shoe lasts as well as the new issue of Anthology (Issue #7 Wit & Whimsy).

Here are some photo's from our time at Great Dane. (The first 3 photo's are by Marsha Golemac. The rest are our dodgy shots!)

So... we feel like we've finally hit the big time now... Vogue Living did a feature article on us! We were very fortunate that the lovely Melbourne Editor Georgie Bean approach us late last year for an interview and some further info on who we are, what we're about etc. We're also pretty excited they're title is "The Cool Kids". If you'd like to get the magazine, its the latest issue "May & June" and its on sale now.
