Last weekend we celebrated Mrs Jam's Pantry most magical 55th turn around the sun, a year of monthly events together, plus over 20 pop ups since I started! This was likely the last pop-up in this format, at this location for a while.

Thanks to all the magical many who have come along, once or many times, whether to say a quick hello, hang about or help pack up. It’s been the balm I’ve needed during some really hard times, and it’s been such a joy seeing how many connections have come about as a result. Special shout out to my magnificent Mum Toula Elliott who has been the bedrock of all my grand ambition 🌸🪩

I was hoping we would have a Big Announcement ready to confirm today, but these things take time. Instead we will all have to wait with bated breath to find out where to next ✨🌼

Toowoomba like you’ve never seen her! My favourite part of markets is always the people I meet: including new friend Roxanne from New Art who makes amazing creations that capture Toowoomba as you’ve never seen her before 💖✨ tea towels, gift cards, mini magnetic artworks, totes and more will be available tomorrow at our monthly cafe.

Come for a gander, stay for a snack. Cuppas are always on us ✨🫖

Hope to see you there xx

I’m sure lots of people follow this account for updates on when and where you can find home-made Greek food and good vibes, as our name suggests. But did you know as well as being a cook, I’m a full-time beekeeper? I work in largescale commercial operations as well as managing my own little gaggle of hives.

Close to Home is actually an umbrella that captures what I do and what I love: the original name of my beekeeping operation, as well as the food offerings borne out of that.

20 May is World Bee Day, so you can expect to see me sharing a bit more of life in the apiary and all that beekeeping entails.

Bees help pollinate not just food crops for humans, but are part of the brilliant connection of all life in our ecosystems. Bees help pollinate trees, grasses, and everything in between, which helps those plants reproduce, which helps provide nectar, pollen, fruits and seeds to all the creatures in our environment.

And of course, bees make the honey we use in all our gorgeous Greek sweets 💖
