It was amongst the little leaves of Little Leaf Co that we sipped and supped the night away at the inaugural seasonal dinner presented by The Creatives. Styled by Stacey Clark and featuring the ever disarmingly beautiful work of the likes of Fox & Rabbit and The Articulate, this evening was beyond special as it was also attended by three people who have been incredibly influential in the international creative space – like the biggest cherry-on-top you could ever hope for. Drawn by the concurrent Perth Writers’ Festival and by their good friend, Stacey, the dinner’s guests of honour were Katie Searle-Williams and Georgia Frances King, co-founder and current editor of Kinfolk respectively, and Luisa Brimble, virtuousic photographer and creative director of Alphabet Family Journal.
Once again a triumph of the heart and, of course, to behold. As long as these go on, we’ll continue to meet, connect and collaborate with the kindred spirits that get drawn to these small dinners.

Wabi-sabi. Finding beauty in imperfection, asymmetry and simplicity.
The year’s second Kinfolk gathering centred around this concept and invited us to leave our phones and pretentions at the door to enjoy “a messy meal” in each other’s company. Some gathered round the table and others on the floor, the finest food was savoured and the conversation naturally ebbed and flowed, most notably “ebbing” when those divinely succulent lamb cutlets arrived. They demanded our full attentions.
Other notable mentions. The revelrous texture of our ceramic bowls, deliciously rough to the touch. The winsome greenery strung from the rafters to transport us someplace magical. Candles burnt down to their stumps, a night well spent.
