An Apple for my Teacher

 

In the midst of Swim Carnivals, Carols & end of school celebrations..

It's time to think about Teacher's Gifts!

 

Giving an apple to your teacher is an age old tradition.

So why not twist the tradition & consider giving one of these ornamental apples for your child's teacher

to keep on their desk perched atop a pile of papers or books?

 

 

Oh and for those who have asked..

the background features

our fabulous Outdoor Rugs!

 

This one is the very 'now' Chevron design.

We also have other styles -

such as Marrakech, Trellis,

& a sweet subtle Stem pattern.

They are available in two sizes.

 

These are a brilliant way to add some

punch to a boring 'ol Timber Deck or Patio Floor!

 

UV Resistant, so they won't fade or fall apart.

Waterproof, so you can leave them out

in a summer storm or by the pool!

 

Mine feels lovely to walk on

with some cushioning instead of the hard wood floor...

Best of all - they won't break the budget!

 

Dressed Up!

 

You want an update in your jewel collection?

 

Dinner with the girls 

(but have "nothing to wear")

 

It's been a long hard week

(which means it's time to treat yourself)

 

It's your Bestie's birthday coming & you need a winner of a present

(And maybe something for yourself on the side)

 

You need to say a huge thank you to someone who has everything

(yes really, everything)

 

You've decided to shelve the neon neck plates

for so-fine-it's barely there necklaces instead...

 

These oh so dainty pieces are in silver or gold.

Nothing faddish.

Just eye catching simple geometrics with forever appeal!

Bubbles

 

 With Melbourne Cup Day just around the corner..
we are furiously unpacking
pallets and cartons!

..ready for the
Race to Christmas!

Our beautiful array
 of glass Christmas Ornaments
 are being hung as we speak..
..like these iridescent Glass Bubbles.

In fact we quite like them
in this stack of Edmonds Bowls
just as they are. 
Don't they look brilliant?!

So if you fancy a flutter before your Melbourne Cup bets..
the shop is bubbling with spectacular ideas!
 



Natures Gifts

 

 

 

Harsh overhead lighting can be a mood killer!

Lamps are a better, more softer approach

& give inviting pockets of light.

 

Position lamps around your living room..

(..I have four!)

for a more intimate mood.

 

Textured shades, shapes & patterns

create interest in a room & add to the ambience! 

Even by day, when they are not lit!

 

This is the latest design in our ever popular lighting.

Designed here in Australia too.

 

Now in a Frosty White colour,

these nature inspired lamps look amazing

when lit up to show the delicate branches.

And, when not lit up,

the white washed timber veneer

still exudes a lovely textured timber grain..
 

Simple, yet bold & most of all eternally fresh!

Little Hat!

 

Doesn't little Miss B

look gorgeous in her Hide & Seek Hat?!

 

We LOVE seeing our littlest customers

so well protected from the sun at such a young age!

 

Our Hats come in sizes

Xtra Small & Small with chin straps for littlies like Miss B..

..and Medium, Large & Xtra Large without straps

for our bigger boys and girls.

 

Really well designed with a good wide brim

that has been

top stitched to keep it firm

and not flop in your young ones face

when they are busy out & about!

 

Now you have to agree this collection of Hats are adorable!

We have a gorgeous selection for both boys & girls.

If only they made them for us Grown Ups too..

 

AND best yet, they are designed in Australia!

 

A great Newborn or first Birthday gift!

Perfect to pop in the post overseas too!

 

What we love most

is that they are a lovely boutique style

that won't be seen on every kid at the Park!

It's a Car Park Out There!

  

We just wanted to let you know

that the fence
that was recently erected
in the middle of the Car Park,

by the neighbouring shop owner,

is beyond our control..

 

We really do apologise for the confusion

and inconvenience that this has caused some.

 

Please understand

that we are quite helpless

& are the meat in the middle of the sandwich!

 

Our Landlord is trying to move mountains

and provide a solution as soon as possible.

 

If you do find it a bit tricky to get into the Car Park,

(because of the awkward fence)

it is a lot easier to approach from the top of Eva Street,

rather than coming in off Chatsworth Road.

 

Alternatively..

we have a secret shady spot

on the other side of Chatsworth Road -

in the cul de sac of Esmonde Place.

Chatsworth Road is easy to cross here,

with a very handy Refuge Island in the middle.

 

Otherwise a leisurely stroll through the Parkland

at the back of our shop may help.

Simply park on Procyon Street on the edge of the Park behind us. 

 

We have found many a twig, seed pod or even a nest

whilst ambling down to the shop through the Parkland..

..perhaps you'll find a natural treasure

to pop in one of the many wonderful pieces

in our glass and cloche collection!

 

We hope that you will continue to beat a path to our door

& help us continue with what we do best!

 

THANK YOU!

A Tisket A Tasket

 

 

Toys, Newspapers & Magazines breed when you're not looking.

So grab baskets like these oversized beauties

when you see them!

 

Measuring over 50cm wide..

& 30cm deep..

..they're great to pop on top of a wardrobe,

in a corner of the living room or bedroom.

 

Perfect to corale all those piles of everyday items.

 

These huge 'hold alls' come in an array of styles and colours..
