My first blog

BLACKBIRD CORNER stocks Limited Run & One Off Clothing + Accessories (+ Cards) designed & created by LOCAL NEWCASTLE people. We are coming up to our 3rd Birthday (in our current store) on 1st July & looking forward to some cupcake action!

And fairy bread! And champagne!

(We previously established a store named SPINSTER WARES in 1996 but after a few years we sold it & ran away to Melbourne for 6 years of adventures. It was the first clothing store in Darby Street Newcastle! The street has certainly evolved - now full to the brim with cafes + clothing stores. Most of these stores stock at least a couple of Newcastle based designers so it's well worth making a day of it! You'll find the inspiring & amazing High tea with Mrs Woo at our previous address these days.)
