SHOP WATCH:
TARA DENNIS STORE, BALMAIN
After two years of trading in Wahroonga, craft queen Tara Dennis has
opened a second location of her eponymous homewares store in
Balmain. The airy space is a homage to Tara’s easy breezy coastal
style: linen napkins, rustic placemats, vintage kitchenware and plenty
of touch-me textures. The store will also play host to regular craft
workshops. Visit 250 Darling Street, Balmain or taradennisstore.com.
