Most of the time I’m a sweet, unassuming, ladylike girl who is never critical, sarcastic or competitive. But get me near a Scrabble board and I transform into a ruthless Gordon Gecko type who crows triumphantly at every 7-letter word placed on a triple-word score.
These Scrabble cufflinks are from Rose Street Artists Market regular stallholder Kyle Weyburne (he also has a stall at the Sunday Esplanade Market in St Kilda). Kyle is a painter and writer who makes quirky jewellery on the side. I bought a pair of vintage 10-point letters cufflinks for RM so that he could use them against me in times of desperation (a 100-point difference has been known to occur), a pair of cufflinks made from mahjong tiles from an antiques dealer in Thailand and a pair of vintage typewriter keys Kyle made himself. RM now has three pairs of unusual cufflinks (but not too novelty), at only $25 a pair.

I must have those mahjong cufflinks. I love wearing fantastic cufflinks, and those ones look amazing. (Also I love playing mahjong)
Hi Steph
Kyle told me that he’s going to be overseas for a couple of weeks so he will be missing the next 2 weekends of markets. But then after that you can get your mahjong cufflinks! Tell him I sent you

Kyle,
Do you sell your cufflinks to residents of the US?
Thank you,

Hi Barbara
Unfortunately I’m not Kyle, the maker of the cufflinks – I’m only the person who bought them from Kyle! But I will call contact him for you and hopefully get you an answer shortly (he might still be overseas at the moment).
