Very excited about the next drop - there’s been a lot of time spent between the electrician, restorer, framer, and me!

These pieces carry such a lovely energy and it’s a pleasure to host them here for a period of time before they find their new homes.

Please sign up to the mailing list on the website which is linked in our Instagram bio.

The drop will be online later this week once all of the details are collated and loaded onto the website, this can take some time! I always email the mailing list first as soon as it’s live and then post to social media later.

What sold from the latest drop - feeling so thankful for your latest purchases. What I'm realising more and more is that you're just as much here for the art, furniture and lighting as you are for the lovely little trinkets. Thank you for trusting me with your orders - I can't wait to get them packaged up and on their way to you.

This captured me: A hand-stitched grey wool Girl Guides badge blanket. At its centre is an appliquéd felt map of New Zealand, hand-stitched with markers noting camps attended. The blanket is covered in decades of Girl Guide badges, patches, and ribbons.

Antique lithographs reframed in lovely detailed vintage gilt frames with new glass and new hangers. Theses prints are from the late 1800s from the magazine 'The Garden'. The colours have remained superb.

Sadly I lost a lot of the photos that I took of these, and haven't had time to rephotograph them. It's on the list for next week!

These are currently listed on the website as a set, and will become available to purchase individually if not sold by midweek :)
