pale CREAM ceramic egg crate

Written on Wednesday, June 18th, 2008 :: 0 comments to this post

Made by Melbourne Ceramic firm Robert Gordon. These new egg crates come in this wonderful glossy 1950’s creamy cream colour and would look as good in the fridge as they would out on the bench! We love these so decorative and stylish - very faintly 1940’s in design. If you’re a collector of vintage kitchen wear then this will work in well with your collection of old kitchen utensils.

The crate holds a half a dozen eggs and measures 5cm high x 12cm wide x 17cm long (2inches x 4 3/4 inches x 6 3/4 inches approx.) we are so glad to be able to bring these to you again after being out of stock for many months. Please note for overseas delivery these egg crates being made of ceramic are heavy and the postage costs reflect this - we always pack with care and double box/bubble wrap to ensure that you receive your item in perfect condition. Postage for two of these egg crates to USA is $34.50 if you require more than one.

vintage handmade julie fleming hat teal straw with flowers

Written on Wednesday, November 7th, 2007 :: 1 comments to this post

We are having a big clean out and here is a rare opportunity to purchase an original unique handmade designer hat by Julie Fleming. As Melbourne’s longest established milliner, this is a VINTAGE, highly sought-after and one of a kind hat for any collector of fine vintage clothing or lover of unique hand crafted hats.

This hat is hand made from a teal-coloured fine Italian straw, which has faded slightly with age giving it that special vintage aged look. Adorned with a gorgeous collection of flowers and leaves, and finished with a hand-sewn label on the inside. An excellent addition to any millinery collection, and even ideal for a summer wedding, the races, or for anyone who loves to dress up in genuine vintage clothing.

This is a ‘gutter brim’ hat - with a deep upturned brim. The hat has been hand-blocked to a size of 21″, but has a hand-sewn adjustable head fitting band with a small ribbon to alter the inside measurement. At the widest point the brim measures 4″, with a further 2″ turned up in to the gutter of the brim.

A real collectors piece, which will be carefully and appropriately packaged - we send our items worldwide and pride ourselves on our posting and packaging. Please check the photos carefully to see just how beautifully this hat has been made, and check our other items in our store!

white cherry blossom sparkle gift wrapping paper

Written on Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007 :: 0 comments to this post

This wrapping paper is one from our new range and it is absolutely divine!

It is a beautiful white colour with a swirly and with a flower that is similar to a cherry blossom pattern. The pattern is so pretty and sparkles as light hits the surface of the paper. The paper is slightly see through and quite thin which makes it even more gorgeous. This paper would look stunning as a table runner or decoration for a wedding. You could also use it for scrapbooking projects and it would look lovely on wedding or party invitations.

This is handmade in India and has the most beautiful surface - a quality light weight paper. The paper size is 56cm wide X 76.5cm long, large enough to wrap an average gift with some to spare.

This is perfect for wrapping that special birthday gift or perhaps will look good on presents under your Christmas tree this Christmas!
