Good Life
The Girl Who Cried Wolfe Cry ‘Wolfe’ for boutique styling and grazing tables for your events: from intimate weddings to luxe picnics. After some time out to welcome her third daughter into the world, Joanna Wolfe from ‘The Girl Who Cried Wolfe’ is ready to get creative again by doing what she does best. The Girl Who Cried Wolfe is a boutique styling and grazing business that originated in Sydney in 2017. After close to five years of operation in Sydney, Joanna and her family relocated to Currumbin in mid 2022. ‘It was a huge risk to relocate an established business, but the pull for a better lifestyle and being closer to family was strong. The last few years haven’t exactly been smooth sailing… Covid, a relocation and a pregnancy have definitely been a rollercoaster, but we are so excited to start creating magic in this beautiful part of Australia,’ says Joanna. The Girl Who Cried Wolfe focuses on immaculately styled tables, grazing food and florals; perfect for microweddings, ladies’ lunches and celebratory gatherings with family and friends. In addition, they also offer luxe picnics and platters for delivery. A proven perfectionist with a keen eye for detail, Joanna will go above and beyond to create something truly magical for your special event. ‘Our partnerships with food providers mean that we can offer the most amazing high-end cheeses and gourmet treats. We go out of our way to ensure all the beautiful finishing touches are included on your grazing tables! It’s all
that elusive point of difference for your event. We’re always adding exciting new finds to our range so that we can continue to offer you the highest quality and the most unique original styling,’ says Joanna. ‘We’d love to chat and hear about your vision for your special event. For us, no two events are ever the same – from rustic and organic, to whimsical garden parties, or Moroccan-inspired styling. We love exploring different looks and working with our customers to determine what best suits your personal taste.’

Quench your thirst at Mullum and New Brighton farmers’ markets Victoria Cosford It’s going to be a long hot summer. The big hats and the cool caps can be seen bobbing amongst the crowds at the markets, and it’s no surprise where the longest queues are as customers seek to stay hydrated. Monty’s, of course, with his big punnets of fat, red, juicy strawberries but also, especially for the young, his ice-blocks in mango and strawberry, blends of both, or with honey and banana and passionfruit. Children love as well the fruit flats in rainbows of bright colours, like works of art, but in addition there are ice creams (strawberry, mango, passionfruit), chocolate-coated strawberries and chocolate-coated mango… If you can tear your brood away there’s plenty of refreshment found elsewhere. Call in at the Rancho stall for freshly poured lime or mandarin drinks, chilled and refreshing, from their organic orchard – or you can www.echo.net.au
purchase a bottle of their handmade freshly squeezed cordials, like the award-winning lime, or the vibrant mandarin, or the elderflower. More cordials can be found at Bec Barnes’ Playing With Fire stall where her large range of bottled beverages, made from seasonal native fruits, includes the super-popular finger lime, Illawarra plum, ooray plum and wild rosella drinks. She also sells herbal teas and herbal bush teas in packs to take away: rosella and lemon myrtle, strawberry gum and cinnamon myrtle. Other World dispenses glorious fresh juices like the easy greens, made from certified organic ingredients, as well as heavenly, wholesome smoothies – try the blueberry blast! – and from Byron Cane Juice (only at Mullum) you can
pick up a raw juice flavoured with ginger or mint or passionfruit. Not only are these low in sugar and high in sweetness, but they also cleanse the liver and aid digestion – and at this time of year who couldn’t benefit from that? Q Monty’s, Rancho Playing With Fire and Other World Wholefoods are at New Brighton every Tuesday, 8–11am, and Mullumbimby every Friday, 7–11am.
