25.01.2022 When your hair stylist just gets you. . . Thank-you gorgeous girl~ @creations_by_kadijah #brisbanenorthsidehairdresser

25.01.2022 THE YEAR THAT WAS (June 2019-June 2020). . . I am going through the notions of reflection & foresight this week, taking so much goodness from the opportunities I have, thus far been presented! THIS TIME LAST YEAR, since finishing up my community shop, ideology, I have created a role which still encompasses my passion for local small business, whilst living a balanced life.The experiences over the last 12 mths have encouraged me to challenge myself every day. I apprec...iate that each business is unique, and each business owner & their team are so incredibly passionate about the products & services they offer to their own community. I must make mention of the following list of businesses who entrusted me with their baby throughout my first year as @theshopkeeper_brisbane ~ GRATITUDE TO: @anitaeastmedispa @lamingtonave @anticahome @whitegrovehouse @fallonpaddington @theshoponthecorner @greentangerinestore Prior to Xmas 19, I was a busy little working with a dynamic number of businesses throughout Brisbane. . . Along came COVID-19. . . and as for so many of you. . .I too, felt the loss, confusion, and some sadness. . . However, mostly, I found this experience has re-iterated my passion for local small business, at many levels: one of which is, simply networking & SPREADING THE WORD, to bring more love & support to our SMALL BIZ COMMUNITY! The next few posts over coming days will be a re-cap of some of the wonderful local small businesses I visited over recent months! The best way the @theshopkeeper_brisbane audience can HELP KEEP THESE small businesses THRIVING, is by introducing them to YOUR FRIENDS & SHARING them via your online social platforms! Thank-you for the wonderful experiences the above mentioned businesses have presented to me 2019-June2020.And to my lovely followers who continue to enjoy the journey w ME! See more

24.01.2022 A GLIMMER OF LIGHT this week for many of my SMALL BUSINESS FRIENDS: a few doors have opened to our wonderfully generous guests! And YOU HAVE ALL certainly shown up with enthusiasm. . . So many of you have expressed your appreciation & gratitude toward the businesses who are fronting up & providing those unique bricks-and-mortar experiences! Though, it is a slow process. . . It is a cautious & safe one. We now sanitise our hands & keep outside of the 1.5m distance. . . So...me wear masks & gloves. One constant though, is the loving & positive energy our small business owners & their loyal guests are sharing with one another! Its not easy not expressing our true care toward eachother via a physical hug, or side-cheek kiss, or even a touch on the upper arm for reassurance. But, we are all in this together, and have a common understanding: If we can keep up this deliberate & safe approach, we will soon see our BEAUTY, HOSPITALITY, HEALTH & FITNESS & AVIATION friends opening their doors, also. . . With opportunity of employment for many others. AND SO, THANK-YOU FOR YOUR UNWAVERING SUPPORT & LOVE TOWARD OUR SMALL BIZ COMMUNITY! See more

24.01.2022 (*volume up & tap on pic screen) Fun times at Lamington Ave . . . I just had to share this moment of SILLINESS caught on camera, by my friend, Beris Miller. . . Whilst modelling some of her wonderful locally created linen fashion (prior to COVID-19). At one stage, she was filming me, and I wasnt even standing in the shot. It is one of those moments where you had to be there. . . but, this really captures our relaxed relationship, which has such a wonderful balance of pr...ofessionalism and fun! Beriss new season collection is about to launch, and due to the nature of the smaller numbers that are locally designed & hand-created, you will want to be quick to order. . . As the numbers of each style/collection are limited. The quality of the linens are second-to-non; and guaranteed to be forever wardrobe staples that never date. I will be sharing some of the new release model shots over coming days! And, yes. . . I want one of everything. . . (*slide video/photo to the left to view another clip of @lamingtonave XL large linen scarf in navy) See more

22.01.2022 WERE HALF WAY THERE. . . HAPPY HUMP DAY!!!

19.01.2022 Were in this together. . . I hope that my friends, family & neighbours will kindly share supplies throughout these unchartered territories. If I need a roll of . . . I would trade that much needed pantry item in return! Lets take the good from this experience. OH. AND support small biz & WASH YOUR HANDS. Erin. Xx

DESIGNED & CREATED in BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA Each garment works in well with previous season styles our customers have bought. . . Enjoy layering & adding to your Lamington Ave collection!

18.01.2022 Our local communitys recent donations of daily essentials in their tangible form will eventually make it to Food Bank Victoria. . . Much of of donations were personal care item that were the most urgently requested such as eye drops, Wet wipes, chapsticks, & hydrolite, along w other items. There was some food donated, also. . . This Nations generosity has been outstanding. . . However, moving , all that is requested now is monetary donations to allow the organisers to buy & distribute exactly what they need; and to assist the people & wildlife affected by the bushfire crises, to start rebuilding their lives on all levels. Gracious for the generosity from all involved . . . As most of you know: my passion is the support of small community businesses where ever possible. Therefore, here is a little something to keep in mind:

16.01.2022 ITS TIME. Lets be safe. Lets protect our friends, family, community. . . and the human race throughout this very unsure time. As a person living with Type 1 Diabetes, & a kidney transplant recipient; I am considered a high risk of not surviving this virus, if I were to come into contact with it. . .And so, I am now home. I look forward to the day when we leave our places of isolation, and physically embrace each other on the other side of this significant chap...ter. In the meantime. . . There will be opportunities to learn new skills, put to practice those we have longed to get back to. . . the world has been a very busy place for the last 100 years! Grateful for the technology that brings us together. . . however, I also plan to read a paper-bound book or two or three. . . I believe there will be many learnings from this experience, as a whole world community: Appreciation for our Mother Earth. The importance of supporting LOCAL. Quality over quantity. The joy of receiving fresh produce from our local farmers, the practicality of being even slightly self-sufficient.. .so so many learnings & appreciation. To all the small businesses going through this. . . Some will survive this challenging chapter. Others may not. And most will have to work differently into the future. . .adaptability is one of our strengths! We stand with you. We love you. Well miss you. . .but, we will continue to follow & support you through social media platforms. Lets all stay in touch. Be kind. Be gentle. Be safe. Erin.Xx P.s. I also want to recognise the gravity of this event for all of us. No one is immune. The reality of financial ruin is on many of our doorsteps. We are all frightened & feeling levels of disbelief & shock. . . In this moment, I am focusing on staying safe & sending out love & light to all. Thank-you for following. Xx See more

16.01.2022 Time out is essential. Today was spent lunching by the water at @thebelvederewoodypoint ~ I enjoy the life I have created for myself this past year. . . Grateful for the small family businesses that continue to utilise my services, allowing me to have an ideal ‘work-life balance’. Whilst also ENABLING ME TO GIVE MY BEST ENERGY TO THOSE BUSINESSES ON THE DAYS I WORK to HELP the OWNERS run their ‘ship’. **I will be opening up Tuesdays on my calendar to offer assistance to any local businesses leading up to the busiest time / end of the year. Feel free to DM me privately if you feel you could use some support on Tuesdays. Minimum 5 hour call-out shopkeeping *my fee includes social media for the day: Available: Tuesdays ~ October - December 2020. Erin.

16.01.2022 SUNDAY ~ JOURNALING MY THOUGHTS (again): My soul feels at ease, and enriched by simple experiences, which I express gratitude for. I do not take anything for granted. Not a thing. . . Completing tasks within the moments, has never felt more fulfilling. . . Simply reading a chapter of a book, mowing the lawn, showering & washing dishes w clean readily-available water; hanging out my clean laundry & then folding it & putting it away. . .the sound of families w children & pet...s surrounding me in our street, makes my heart burst with love & fulfilment! I could list hundreds of experiences I give thanks for each day. . . Although, covid-19 has brought much devastation & discomfort; it has forced some of us to reflect on many facets, we may not have prior to this. . . when we created a life that was so busy, we barely had a moment to sit & give thanks for a meal, or the clothing we wear, and of course, the social time with friends & family. (Grateful for online video forums, also)! TODAY: I WILL BAKE SOME BREAD (with the rest of Australia)! All the yeast was snapped up from the grocery store shelves! Thinking of all of my soulful FB community, on yet, another day in this significant chapter of history. *original post by @mattzhaig See more

16.01.2022 HAPPY EASTER EVERY BUNNY! This is one day I enjoy surrounding myself with 2 (of 3) of my absolute MOST FAVOURITES: Chocolate & BUNNIES! (The third, is family). . .I have collected bunnies (& hares) in all forms for many years. . . The cutest creatures on the planet, (in my eyes)! Any bunny who visits my home, will notice a bunny in almost every room! Its like a treasure hunt to walk around & seek out the bunnies. . . I have taken some photos of a few of my special (quirky & whimsical) collection - many have been sourced by my good friend Helen of @sivaddesigns, @blockopediatextiles, and my previous shop space, ideology. . . I hope you enjoy this glorious day. . . Stay safe. Stay well. Stay hopeful & Be kind.

16.01.2022 Wishing all of my uniquely individual supporters & followers A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS. . . Thank-you all for your love & genuine support of local small business!

15.01.2022 DISCOVERING LOCAL small Biz Brisbane: This week I visited the most magnificent Lifestyle shop full of gorgeous home & fashion. . . WELCOME TO @paradestore at Wilston! If you love sourcing interesting, quality additions for the home, & divine gifts. . .this is an absolute gem of a space!

14.01.2022 In the presence of these incredible women last night: A beautiful gather of ‘high vibe & positive energies’, after what has been a massive shift in the universal energy this past few weeks. Annalisse, of @annalissedesigns & @sweetgeorgiaboutique serenaded the room full of people at @cafebohemiaaustralia at #sandgate ~ I was in my element, alongside the divine @anitaeast_ who has recently released her first self-authored book, #beautifuluniquefaces @bufbyanitaeast.

14.01.2022 ANOTHER EXCITING WEEK KEEPING SHOP. . . Or in this case. . .CLINIC! I managed to receive my badge of honour (fancy gold name tag). . . as I am officially embraced & welcomed as one of the team members, supporting the incredibly talented women of @anitaeastmedispa ~ My position as Client Liaison & Reception has been challenging & exciting. . . A job I look forward to diving into each time I am invited to return. . . Working with the @anitaeastmedispa team has introduced m...e to an entirely new field outside of my previously better known roles in retail. I am continually learning about the importance of skincare, self-care, and building a level of knowledge & understanding of skin care products & treatments. When I first launched @theshopkeeper_brisbane, I knew I had the experience to offer my fellow small business friends assistance in their businesses, in which ever capacity they deemed necessary. . . I have to say, I am blown away by the opportunities that have been offered to keep me busy & fulfilled! If you do not hear from me every day. . . It is usually because I am focused on turning up & giving my best to these incredible business friends who inspire me every single day. Please keep an eye on my insta-stories, as there will always be one or two popping up throughout the week to keep YOU up to date with my daily shop-stops! THANK-YOU FOR SUPPORTING LOCAL SMALL BUSINESS, and your continued support following me along my journey! ERIN. Xx See more

13.01.2022 Feeling like the luckiest girl in the world, working with this gorgeous team at Anita East medispa, as one of my Shopkeeping roles each week. . . When I first spoke of this business concept, it was earlier in the year around April. . . Anita & I were attending a local fashion event hosted by @sweetgeorgiaboutique. The moment I mentioned that I would soon make myself available as a contractor/locum staff fill-in, to assist my fellow small businesses w those awkward staffi...ng gaps. . . Anita did not hesitate to offer me an opportunity to become a member of her team, once I officially launched the role of The ShopkeeperANITA BELIEVED IN ME! I am now a part of a sistership that I look forward to supporting each week. I am thriving. . . fully trained in a new clinic computer system to work in the role that supports reception & administration tasks at this gorgeous MediSpa in Sandgate! Grateful every day that another small business puts their faith & trust in my ability to adapt to their business needs, wherever necessary. I DO NOT REGRET TAKING THIS LEAP into The EXCITING UNKNOWN! Every minute of every day is a new adventure & a continual learning opportunity to better my understanding of many business aspects, whilst keeping me involved & BUSY (in a good way ). My brain is like a sponge. . . as I become more & more efficient & valuable in my knowledge & experience in a diversity of computer programs & point of sales systems. . . Though, my passion is, and always will be PEOPLE. IF YOU NEVER TRY. . . YOULL NEVER KNOW! HAPPY HUMP DAY BEAUTIFULS. . . See more

13.01.2022 #isolife2020 A poem by ME (*feel free to share) I WASHED MY HAIR TODAY You washed your hair, you say? Yes. I got out of bed and looked at my head. . . And washed my hair today. ... Did you use product, or style it or cover the greys? Nope. I just washed my hair today. Will you put on some make-up, or dress in your bests? Nope. I just washed my hair today. Are you keeping the world up to date w what you have achieved?? I just did. I washed my hair today. This is a very challenging time. . . We are all just surviving. What ever you do, please be kind to YOU. . . I am grateful every day for the simplest of things. Including my beautiful, kind, genuine followers. Thank-you for being patient with me, as I navigate through this unchartered time. . . As we all are together. Love Erin. Xx

12.01.2022 HOLY FREAKIN MOLY. . .WHAT A TURN OF EVENTS TODAY HAS DELIVERED!!! After crawling out of my deep depressive heart ache slump of feeling completely helpless and useless in contributing to the bushfire relief: At 9am this morning I made the prompt & deliberate decision to PHYSICALLY be a part of the vital assistance needed to deliver personal amenities & much needed food items to those beautiful souls who are suffering in the catastrophic bush fires throughout our magnificent... country. My dear friend Helen Davis of @sivaddesigns put a call out to organise her small local community to deliver any contributions to her home at Hendra, Brisbane. This will then be taken to the depot at Milton tomorrow. . .and transported to @foodbankvictoria at 3pm tomorrow. I mentioned to a small group of my close tribe in Nudgee/Banyo/Virginia/Northgate the opportunity to pop in to drop off anything they could spare to my home as a middle-drop-point and I would then deliver their donations to Helen to pass on to the Milton depot. I couldnt imagine the incredible selflessness & community spirit my little tribe would contribute today! As the day progressed, these families & friends continued to communicate and ask me what we needed as donations, to keep the balance of donated items on par with what is actually required at this point in time. Amazing! Thank-you to my most generous friends and families who put their Sunday plans aside at the very last moment to give what they could, to help this cause. The supplies have now been delivered to Helen by my husband, Christian, myself, my sister-in-law @chefdominiquerizzo and her fianc Simon. Its only a small dent in what is needed, and what will continue to be needed over months to come. . . But I can finally fall asleep (if, even only for a short period), knowing I have faith in humanity: my heart is full. A NOTE: CASH DONATIONS are still the primary need to assist the communities well into the future past this immediate time, however, so too, is the need for the eye drops, chapsticks & personal amenities we collected today. Gratitude to the following & their families: Tracey Ann Lee @mp_floraldesign @locale_fitness @locale_eats @jade_vaevaemaki @kassandra_behrendt @shaunabroadhurst @mrs_speedy renaeparkin @katie_all @mrslgribbz @susie070914 @em_1604 Moira McDonald @melinda_gilbert Adrienne coats @Dominique wright @chefdominiquerizzo & Teagan Antonie See more

11.01.2022 WE ARE WITH YOU. . . WE FEEL YOUR LOSS. WE HEAR YOUR PLEAS. WE SHED YOUR TEARS. PLEASE KNOW YOU ARE NOT ALONE: As a nation, we are battling through feelings of shock, grief, anger, overwhelm & all other levels of emotions during this National crisis. . . I am now witnessing the coming together in true fighting spirit, where, as a whole people, we are starting to take major action! After feeling completely hopeless last night; I have woken up inspired by MANY LEADERS - Non-p...olitical leaders. INFLUENCERS & celebrities using their online social networking platforms to raise much needed funding & awareness. I am absolutely overwhelmed with Celeste Barbers influence & ability to generate over $5million in under 48 hours! I salute her, and thank all of our local fellow Australians, and people of the world coming together to help where ever they are able. @lisamessenger is leading the community to contribute to @foodbankaus There are so many charities to give to, and every single donation helps. Feel free to follow @celestebarber for more links to several donation options. We are the change. Lets pray our leaders hear us regarding the importance of making some significant changes to our current & future climate change Act. I know I have to make these changes as an individual, also. Thank-you for reading my post amidst all this emotional turmoil & overwhelming amount of media that we all feel an absolute must to be supporting & sharing in. #supportsmallbusiness #australia #community #strengthinnumbers #manyhands See more

11.01.2022 Twas a magical evening. . . Last night, Lamington Ave had their Festive Gather, alongside @interiorsbydarylwark / @thecollectiveconcept at Gaythorne village! I changed my business role throughout the day, from dressed in profesh clinic attire (Sandgate job) to slipping on this burst of Raspberry linen (& some white) for the evening. . . to assist Beris in the launch of her new season colours & styles instore! All of @lamingtonave fashion is made from fine quality European linen, designed & manufactured in Brisbane. It was lovely to meet all of Beriss regular guests, some of whom have supported her for over 20 years! Slide left to see this magnificent wreath! HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!

10.01.2022 THE CREATIVE MIND behind Lamington Ave: BERIS MILLER. . . This week, I experienced the most wonderfully informative & productive day with this talented woman. More & more of my (now worn out) wardrobe items are being slowly replaced by Beriss unique garments. . . Designed for comfort & w natural fibres; made right here in Brisbane! BERIS describes her fashion as pieces that transcend beyond a season or a trend. . .AND WHO DOESNT LOVE THAT IN A GARMENT?! Every time we meet..., I learn something new about fabrics and fashion design & the significance of ethical production / manufacturing of slow-fashion. Best of all, I am enjoying the diversity of my role, working at @lamingtonave - shopkeeping, styling & visual merchandising, creative input throughout the processes and absorbing new information every single meet-up Beris & I share. I have even embraced the role of modelling for the labels online store & social media platforms! In turn, I am finding this opportunity has kept me better focused on health & well-being, and self-acceptance as being PERFECTLY IMPERFECT. And that cant be a bad thing. Absolutely loving my role as @theshopkeeper_brisbane . . . Thriving w balance and so many moments of simple joys. Helping my friends throughout #brisbane in local #smallbusiness is the perfect lifestyle job I created to suit ME throughout THIS CHAPTER of MY LIFE. I am already looking forward to sharing next weeks Shopkeeping experience with you! ENJOY THIS DAY. . . And THANK-YOU for SUPPORTING YOUR SMALL COMMUNITY BUSINESSES! See more

09.01.2022 Group 1 Virgin Blue ~ circa August 2000. . . Exhilarating! How lucky were we to have @richardbranson boldly enter a monopolised market? For those who remember, the cost of flying a simple 1 hour trip was outrageous! My career spanned 11 absolutely fabulous years. . . So many opportunities & exciting experiences. . . But, most of all. . . an incredibly supportive, loving FAMILY. . .Today, I sit here watching an absolute tragedy unfold. The economic disaster we are currently experiencing globally is just unfathomable. . . and the repercussions of Virgin Australia no longer in the aviation market to continue to KEEP THE AIR FAIR. And so, We wait to see what unfolds. . .

07.01.2022 JOURNALING MY THOUGHTS: How can an experience that is so frightening & unknown. . . also feel so PEACEFUL & SOULFUL? Self isolation has stopped me in my tracks. I continue to wake up around 5.30am with purpose, yet, a very different purpose. . .This is a very different reality to the recent days I raced around to attend my outside world appointments, & ensure I arrived at each work space bursting with enthusiasm & pride, to support the small businesses who kept my persona...l & work life so filled with excitement & new learnings every single day. . . I certainly miss each & every one of them, and look forward to returning again (soon). I am staying safe, with the future in mind. My heart is full of hope. Hope that so many small businesses make it through this challenging chapter. Hope that we, as a society move through this time with as few loss of lives as this virus will allow; and with an economy that flourishes again in the (near) future. For now, while I am safe & well in #isolife2020 - I wish all of YOU a safe journey through this. In the meantime, keep an eye out for my daily insta stories to keep you updated on my daily home achievements! Ill also be touching base via FaceTime/Zoom/Houseparty with my small business friends. Take care of you & your loved ones. Sending love & light & thoughts of a brighter future. . . Oh. And try not to watch TOO MUCH NEWS - just enough to keep you up to date. . .and WASH YOUR HANDS!

06.01.2022 Happy Hump Day! Yep. . . Its Wednesday. . . And this post shared by @sunday.society gave me a giggle before kicking my day into gear this morning. . . Loving being back in the swing these last two week. . . Its a new found swing of things - where I have made some decisions to the life I choose to create for myself (post-covid chapter Mar/Apr) ~ I will be working just enough to keep me comfortably busy. . . But, not going to wear myself into the ground. I am here. I am present. I love the small business families who embrace & support me each week. . . Whilst allowing me to support them in their businesses, where needed. I enjoy the variety of my role. Grateful to be here. ANYONE ELSE HAD A FEW EPIPHANIES THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS?! What a ride it has been. . . And continues to be. . . Erin.

04.01.2022 *Shared post from my Instagram a week ago: BURSTING AT THE SEAMS! The very special, local family-run small business The Yarn Bowl has outgrown their current space nestled in between Putia Pure Food Kitchen and Clapham Junction Wine Bar Provisions . . . CONGRATULATIONS to Fiona & her team for growing their business beyond initial expectation, in ONLY 12 months since launching in our beautiful village of Banyo!
