A TOUR OF THE DOWNSTAIRS AREA OF THE SHOP

This is a corner of the front room in the shop

we have fourteen tenants and each one is differant to the other.It makes for a really varied choice of goods. we have a mix of vintage,retro, industrial and upstairs we have mini boutiques of handmade items from local artisans.We are also awaiting some lovely items we have ordered from other sources.

some fun rings that 'Salvage Street' makes

and some jars made into sewing caddys with bobbins inside and a pincushion on top

and my favourite spindle bugs these are so cute and very cleverly made from recycled items

each one is unique and they sell out very quickly!

some retro items from phil's room

He is our main stockist of retro and one day a piece of his furniture will be in the shop long enough for me to photograph it to show you!

I hope you will visit us if you are in Hobart we assure you of a warm welcome and a

taste of good old fashioned service!

and I'll take you on a tour upstairs next time!

MY NEW SHOP

Since I last posted I have opened a new shop!

A real bricks and mortar shop

at 133a Newtown Road. Newtown.Hobart.Tasmania

The front room has beautiful pressed tin ceilings and four chandeliers!!!!

It has 2 of these amazing arched windows!!

There are three more rooms downstairs

and wait for it............

This is upstairs, a gorgeous wooden floor, attic/loft atmosphere

and the piece of machinery on the ceiling is the original hoist that was used by the baker who first had the building to hoist up sacks of flour and grain.

lots of character to start with and that's without any stock!

now lots of room needs lots of stock,so enlist a few friends to help out?

so I did, and we are now full to the brim and seven weeks open.

and next post I'll show you what we filled up the shop with.
