Buttons, beautiful buttons. Carefully selected to co-ordinate with many of our fabrics, the latest selection has now arrived in store. We have small buttons to complement our Liberty fabrics. Handpainted coconut shell buttons to co-ordinate with some of the stretch corduroys.

Liberty of London fabrics are renowned for their beautiful fabrics, and are avidly sought by many people world wide.

We have started with a small range, selecting three prints of the 100% cotton Tana Lawn, and one print of a viscose/spandex jersey. There are two different colours of one of the Tana Lawn prints, and the jersey print is in two different colours. So in total we have 6 separate fabrics - all can be seen in the pictures below.

These fabrics have a beautiful soft feel, and are well suited to tops, blouses, dresses, homwares — in fact anything you choose to use them for.

There is limited stock available of these fabrics. They are 137cm wide and are $44.95 per metre.

In a few weeks we will also take delivery of a small selection of the Lantana range. This fabric is 80% cotton and 20% wool, and will be perfect for those cooler days.

Devils on horseback, devilled eggs, ginger fluff, passionfruit sponge, fantales, champagne - just some of the goodies enjoyed by our guests at last Saturday's Grace Kelly Salon. Most people came dressed in vintage or vintage inspired outfits. We are sharing some of the photos from the afternoon.

We will hold another afternoon like this before the Grace Kelly exhibtion finishes in June. Details will be provided in the near future. 

We are still celebrating our 2nd birthday, and so have extended the 30% off on all our spring/summer season linens, cottons and selected printed knit fabrics. There are still some great colours to choose from and warm weather to go with it.

This offer is available for the next two weeks, ending Saturday 10th March.
