The Gallop to Christmas!



 

I have been up & down the ladder

 for a week to get our

'Lampshade' Christmas Tree rigged up!

 

SO hard to photograph...

So you'll just have to come in to see it!

 

We're having a lovely time

hanging our exquisite glass ornaments!

 

 

Just Add Ice

 

Cup Day prep...

 ..& ice!

 



Giddy Up

Hand Made Beauty

Always on the hunt for unique pieces made by hand..

these beautiful Earrings caught our eye!

Nicki Hall is a local, who incredibly,

 has taken one of her own photographic images of

Australian Native Blossoms

and etched it onto clear Perspex droplets.

What has resulted is an exquisite pair of Earrings!

The perfect international gift

or for you...

..just because you love them..

 

..like a local...shop local...support hand made..



 

 

Like a Local

Just as Mr G says on Page 19 of A Place Called Home..

..who needs to go away for inspiration

when Brisbane puts on

days like these!

And if you have never been to

 our neck of the woods..

Pop in

& discover a Local Hero!

Monday 19th May

We will be CLOSED this Monday 19th May 2014.

We have a family occasion to attend.

Be back business as usual on Tuesday 20th May...

See you then!

Time for Easter

 

Ahhhh! The Easter Break is just around the corner!

 

Aren't we lucky to get such a long weekend

to take a breather from the 'busyness'

of the New Year?!

Hopefully with some glorious weather too!

 

Our shop is full to the brim with Easter treats that aren't necessarily of the chocolate variety...

..like these colourful cast iron Bunnies!

The perfect little companions

to hold open a door or,

rustle in amongst some potted herbs on the verandah.

No chance of these fellows nibbling away at the tips!

 

We will be closed for the Easter Long Weekend

(Good Friday, Easter Saturday, Sunday & Monday)

Open again on Tues 22nd, Wed 23rd & Thurs 24th

then Closed on Friday 25th for Anzac Day..

 

See you soon..

 

Unearthed

 

 

Sometimes 'new' vases just don't cut the mustard..

 

Another fascination we have is with

Stoneware vessels from as early as the 1880's.

 

In a previous life they held Stout, Ginger Beer or Ink..

 

Now...they're beautiful clustered randomly

OR

showing off a fabulous piece of Australian Native Flora!

Happy You Year!

 

 

I resolve to...

 

What's your new horizon for twenty fourteen?..

Is it to carry that holiday spirit with you all year?..

 

If your holding a summer soiree this weekend,

David Edmonds collection is sure to brighten up your table..

 

..with platters that depict sandy shores &

dishes & bowls that portray blue cloudless skies..

 

They are not only beautiful for serving up dining delights,

but..

also, the unconventional hand made shapes

are wonderful to stack on the side board, table or bench top to display collections from our land of beauties rich & rare...

 

Somewhere Off The Beaten Track

 

To all of our wonderful customers,

who have become old friends over the years

&

to those who have recently discovered us..

THANK YOU!

..for shopping ‘local’

&

continuing to support a ‘small’ family enterprise.

It’s Holiday time!

Time to put our feet up on a tropical escape

And dream a little..

Twenty fourteen is already promising

to be a year of fresh discoveries

here at Three Two One...

We’ll be back on

Tuesday 21st January…

We wish you all the

JOY

that comes with the holiday season..

&

hope that you are relaxing under a shady tree

..somewhere away from the rat race!

Til then…

Lazy Sundays...

 

Won't it be wonderful to spend a lazy Sunday

pottering around doing nothing in particular?..



 

Not yet.. not for us anyway.

 

To help take the 'busyness' out of your Christmas foraging..

We will be OPEN

on the last Sunday (22nd) before Christmas.

 

And of course on Monday 23rd & Tuesday 24th.

Christmas is In!

 

Children just LOVE the countdown to Christmas!

And rightly so!

My children reminded me that it was

only 12 days until the big day!

 

Now that School is over,

it is beginning

to feel like a lot like Christmas..

 

If you need to spice up your Christmas decorating,

our wicker Bells are perfect

to casually hang off the back off the chairs

at your Christmas table.

Perhaps they can be a gift for your guests to take home?..

 

Suspend some over the table either on their own or from a fallen branch found in the garden or in the local bushland..

 

Or simply hung on a corner of the verandah, stairwell, living room, or even a tree in the garden

with some beautiful ribbon.

 

 

And if you are on the hop to a fabulous

coastal Christmas in a holiday home,

our laser cut trees (below)

are perfect to cluster in your holiday retreat..

..they pack flat, so you can throw them in the car or your luggage 

and slot them together when you arrive.

 

Voila, instant festive flair!

School's Out

 

It's almost time to wave farewell to the Teacher..

Thank him or her with these fabulous

Pencil Caddy's!

 

Made by Hand with Bone Inlay...

 

A brilliant desk ornament

and a place to stash pens, pencils

or secret stuff..

 

Also, a brilliant gift for

stationary freaks (like me)

budding writers

artists..

..those with a desk job

a beautiful studio space

or, perhaps a student heading off to University in 2014..

 

Add some fun & inspiration to their work(play) area.

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!
