Playing in the Attic is a curious extraordinarium of papery delights to encourage creativity and play. After a successful six years in Sturt Street, Ballarat, Trudy McLauchlan is opening Playing in the Attic in her new hometown of Talbot.

Located at the corner of Ballaarat Street and Scandinavian Crescent, the shop – which originally opened as a bootmaker in 1862 – has been refurbished and will delight with colour and design to lead you on a merry dance of creativity.

Within the shop you will find beautiful letter writing sets from The Netherlands and Italy, quirky notebooks from Prague, paper theatres from Covent Garden, rubber stamps handmade in Germany and locally made art products from the region.

As well as art supplies, cards and wrap, puzzles and games, there may be the odd blue parrot or wooden Pinocchio, all beautifully curated in one little space ready for you to discover and explore.

Playing in the Attic will open from Friday to Monday from 10 am to 4. Pm. Pop in and say hello to Trudy, she’s very excited to be in Talbot and to be sharing her little shop with you.
