We Are Open.............

We have taken the plunge and re opened..

Cassy & Mandy

This time we are even bigger.

This is a real joint effort also not just me. Sitting around crafting one Friday we all began to chat about opening a shop....From there the idea was born..I am blessed to have some great friends that helped and encouraged me to start again....(Thanks girls Mel, Michelle and Cassy)...

Cassy has been thrown in the deep end and minds the shop on our busiest day Sunday while I am at markets.

Shed

We are open

Lots of soaps

With out my amazing Husband none of this would be possible.

Bruce has encouraged me, given up his shed for the shop and worked to clean, build and pull it all together.

Plus he gives up his weekends to help me at the markets...

We Are Moving.

For the last 18 months I have met the most amazing people here at The Old Dairy.

Coffee groups have come and enjoyed the garden and food, we even made the local news.

Being interviewed by Win news.

With my youngest daughter getting married and moving away, I am going to need the time to travel to visit my family. 3 of my 4 daughters live away and also my eldest son.

My Family

Sometimes things need to change and closing the shop is one of those changes.

Every thing else will stay the same.

I am still going to do the markets and sell all the same quality goods I had at the Dairy.

I will continue to stock the Trap-Art yarn and other yarns.

 I am still going to make my candles.

The best part is 

I am going to run more workshops.

The first soap making work shop for the year is on

Sunday 3/4/16 from 2pm-4pm

I will also hold other workshops 

Candles

Personal care

and others.

A new soap Peppermint and Lavender.

The workshops will now be held at the house in a new area we have there at the Shed.

Lots more room so there is able to be more to a class.

Friday craft will still be on each Friday, just all at the house now.

What will I do with The Old Dairy I hear you ask?

Well my brother is now going to live there, it will make a perfect little Granny flat for him.

So make sure you drop in to my facebook page

and see what markets I will be at and what work shops are coming up.....

Window display....

I have been playing with the display in the front window,

I thought i would move some yarn over here.

 Visitors often sit in the chair for a chat and love to look at the yarn.

I took these photos on Saturday and not 10mins after I took them

some one turned up and bought the desk....

Hahaha, this window is a good spot because when ever I move a piece here 

it sells. Now I need to do another window display.

At the moment I have yarn every where and want to put it all in one area.

I am thinking of putting it all in this cabinet, what do you think?

 I love this old dresser, so I think I will play around with it

this week and see.

Have a great week.

Mandy

I have also been busy painting every thing that doesn't move.

These little pineapples have been fun to experiment on.

The men's shaving soap is ready to sell.

I have them in little tins as it makes it easier to lather up.

$7 with tin or $5 for soap.

This week I am moving every thing around in the shop as in the last 2 weeks I have sold 2 table and chair sets and other furniture...

So there are a few gaps that need filling in, lucky I still have a shed full of furniture.

This week I have the Ma Ma Creek markets, I need to get in and make lots of candles as well.

Cake Stands....

 This week I am making Cake Stands.

Below is a cup stand that has proven very popular.

They are all made from Good English China.

The cup Plate Stands are $15

 My problem is

I Love all the plates I have, yes all 100 plus of them.

Some are in the shop the rest are hiding in the house. Then 

I have to make a chioce what plates to use for stands.

The Cake Stand below I need to drill holes into

as yet I haven't broken any but it is still nerve wracking choosing what plates to use

in case I do.

These Stands are 

$25

This week I am only open on Thursday 19th 

As we are doing a quick Road trip to Charters Towers for our Grandsons 2nd Birthday.

This Thursday is also our craft day

From 9:30 onwards.

We are all knitting and crocheting this week, so I have lots of new yarns in the shop

Enjoy your week

Make sure you take some time to do what you love...

Craft Day @ The Old Dairy.

Welcome to the end of the week.

I bet there is a lot of you looking forward to the week end.

I will be busy today and Saturday doing markets and the shop.

I love my old milk separator at the front door of 

The Old Dairy.

hmmm just noticed the welcome sign has been decorated by my grandson.

Lots of new goodies in the shop this week.

The handmade sign above is made locally and the lady Cassie that makes them

also does them made to order.

Below is the new range of Tye dyed baby items made by another local lady Jasmine.

Cassie makes the pillows, I love the Retro fabric she has used in these two.

I am having fun making pom pom garlands this week, I find the teenage girls love them along with the hippy chick socks, that all sold out last week end.

 I am finding that locals are coming to me wanting to sell there arts and crafts which is just what I wanted. Some where for those that love to create can sell there work and then have some spare money to keep the addiction going. hahaha

We had our first craft day last week and it was a real success, 8 ladies turned up and we had lots of fun. We are all wanting to knit and crochet at the moment and are learning so much of each other.

Lucky I have a nice range of cotton and bamboo yarns available as well as needles and hooks.

Craft is going to be on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of the month, so if you are about drop in.

Enjoy your week end and I hope you fit a little bit of what you 

love to do into your week end.
