I was watching Offspring – new drama on television. One of the scenes was filmed outside a shop window. In the shop window were some crocheted ‘knee rugs’. My children and I played the scene over and over trying to identify the name of the shop as we have been wanting to replace the crocheted knee rugs that my granny made for me (I am not 49) as they are now old and threadbare and my granny is no longer around to make us new ones. Are we correct in thinking that your shop is the one viewed in the TV show and if so how can I go about getting some of those crocheted blankets??? I live in Sydney.

Great post Lucy! I can’t believe I spend most of my life on Gertrude and haven’t been to Penelope’s shop yet. Next week, for sure.

Miss Penelope is an ongoing inspiration to me, I can’t wait to get back to Melbourne to see her store. And she sent me here, I am enjoying your blog.

Thanks!
