Let there be light.....

How great do our Mason Jars look as a hanging light Pendant? These were featured on The Block last night, made by Sophie & Dale, our Bobbins were also featured on the old fireplace mantle. The Judges had a positive comment of.........WOW!! Must say that is one very clever idea!

Lest We Forget - ANZAC Day 2012

This has to be one of my all time favourite photo's taken of my father in Casino Nth. NSW in 1940. He was aged 19 & saying goodbye to his family & getting ready for deployment to the Middle East. He spent 866 days fighting for Australia including the Syria, Cyprus & New Guinea before returning home safe but very Battle weary.....

My father held position as Signalman - 21st Australian
Infantry Brigade circa 1940

There's a bear in there....

I must confess how much that I love miniature handmade Bears. They seem to blend so well with our Industrial pieces don't you think?

I'm game if you are!

Oooookay, so who remembers the days pre-television when lots of fun was had outdoors at family picnics or the Bowling Alley? I have fond memories of playing Quoits after lunch & must say I love the old Crib board handed down to my husband from his Grand Father.......aaah, the good old days!

Oh Albert you are a Genius!

How true is this famous saying by Albert Einstein? Maybe he knows something we don't!

Something Old Something New....

I seem to be loving the latest trends from Melbourne that mix clean white wash with the Vintage Industrial look. Now I know why our products are so popular & the look is so very unique!
