Christmas in store.....

Jingle bells just oooozeee christmas and if shiny silver isnt your thing, then theres these fabulous earthy rusty ones......


These white glass baubles are just stunning, they are surprisingly tough (I accidentally dropped one and it bounced!) I dont think I'd have the same luck with the small white glass doves.... they are very delicate, but if you like bird decorations they are a must. We also have them in ribbed red glass.

I thought this green spotty bauble was a bit of fun and very festive. The large pink glass ribbed heart is oh so pretty and really doesnt have to be Christmas, I'd leave this one out all year round.

Birds and fruit are two popular decoration themes this year, and in contrast to the many glass decorations we have, these acrylic apple and bird dangles are very user friendly, not to mention sweet. 

Speaking of sweet, these bloated little glass mercury glass birds are perfect for a small tabletop tree.

Just for something different, we dabbled in a few pastels this season....


But red is always a Christmas classic, making these dainty ribbed red glass birds hard to resist.

Made locally, Jodi calls this soy wax candle "Christmas" but after burning one on our counter, we think it should be called "Gingerbread" or "Plum Pudding" because it smells so fabulous it kinda makes you hungry... We have the jar candles and bags of 12 tea lights candles available.

These red reindeer table runners will add christmas cheer to your table, why not run them from side to side accross the table (as pictured) and set two place settings on it.

Gold and Silver sequin birds that clip onto your tree, each is handmade and so slightly different in the tilt of the head, the number of sequins and the shape of the beak, which makes them really special.

Everyone needs a ham bag at christmas! Assuming that you eat ham of course!! We followed a fabulous Donna Hay recipe last year from her christmas magazine that involved Quince paste (we used Maggie Beers) so I will be needing one of these this year.

I love wreaths that incorporate fruit, they are festive but also useable all year round. Another favourite hanging above the bed are our LED light wreaths (3 shown hung together) I love fairy lights in general but this wreath takes it up a notch by being able to be hung horizontally. It looks amazing hug low over a christmas table and you can take it one step further by hanging baubles from pretty ribbons underneath.

We have stocked clear glass baubles with glass angels inside for a few years now, this year we added a reindeer to the mix. They make fabulous gifts for special people in your life.
And finally its not christmas without seeing stockings hanging from a mantle.

New into store over the last week or so, these rectangular jugs are sure to be a hit, great as a water jug or fruitjuice jug perfectly sized for two...The chunky glass candle sticks are just crying out for a mantle to sit on this Christmas....And blue hydrangeas are just another of my favourite things...........

These beautiful silver photo frames are a fine metal filagree and are very very special. So to is the matching clock, we think they'd make a sweet gift for someone special.

Clear acrylic handles cuttlery sets are back by popular demand, they'll look great with pretty much any table setting. Although they do need to be handwashed we think they're worth the effort! The white ruffle napkin is pure linen and just gorgeous, for that little touch of luxury they are worth the indulgence.

Hand carved african animals are back in. We have hippos, rhino's, elephants, and giraffes. They are just so adorable you cant help but want to pat them every time you walk past.


The painting is by Adelaide Artist Brook Miles, I've always liked it, but it wasnt until we put it up near the window that its taken on a whole new life, the light really plays with the gold background and makes it a really interesting piece....
We will be lauching our Christmas stock  in store as of  This Saturday (the 5th of November). We will be closed all day Friday so we can set it up and make sure it's looking festive. So apologies in advance if you wanted to head in on Friday.......... but we promise it'll be worth the wait! I will post pictures once its all in place so stay tuned....
