That Vintage Tea Party....

As a small child I had quite a fascination with all things 'tiny' and miniature....Since having Nest I am fairly certain that my inner child is rising to the surface to have a regular say :)....and upon seeing this divine collection of "tea party" treasures, I'm sure she was shouting," We must have these! They are so beautiful!!"


Introducing the lovely Sophie's {"That Vintage"} latest collection to only just hit the shops! ....

Its only a couple of weeks away so it's time to start thinking about one of the most important men in your life...How about these suggestions for something a little different this year?

Vintage handkerchiefs by "Hanky Panky"


Gorgeous leather wallets and card holders by "Elk"
{and other men's wallets by "Status Anxiety"}

So much nicer than the daggy old "socks and undies"! :)

Second Sister LOVE!!!!...


I am in LOVE with the latest vintage collection created by our own local talented artisan, Janine Morris of "Second Sister". All things deer and "nesty" have left my heart a racing! Boxes, vintage blocks and "Picture boxes" embellished with images of old cigarette cards on handmade paper {a technique, Janine tells me, that has been 5 years in the art of perfecting!} are just some of the treasures that have been lovingly handmade by Janine....







If you wish to see more head over to my face book page {Nest Penguin} and see the entire collection...or if you are local, pop in over the weekend? I'll be here between 10am - 4 pm Saturday and Sunday...And if the weather is as beautiful as it is today there would be no place nicer to visit than our little Penguin town :) x
