Well hello there!
Today is our first day at the helm of this beautiful bookshop. What a ride! We did not see this coming. We left for Paris early this year unsure of where destiny would take us. Cut to August, a notification that our beloved Queenscliff bookshop was to be sold and our dear friends Lisa and Mathew moving on. Queenscliff without them and the bookshop was unimaginable. 'But who will take over?' I said to my Matt. 'Us,' he said. This seemed so far-fetched I couldn't believe it, but a little spark was lit, and it just kept growing until here we are, Halloween 2019, in our very own store, surrounded by books and all the magic Mathew and Lisa Jose have created, and Marylou Gilbert before that. We are honoured, and thrilled beyond compare. See you soon!
Jayne, Matt and Frankie
