I love my pin boards, they are full of little snippets and trinkets that bring me joy and inspiration. Little pieces and presents that customers and friends have given, thank you notes and invitations, pretty papers and bits and bobs I have gathered and displayed to give me a boost of sentimental eye candy whenever I’m feeling flat.

I just thought I would share them with you!

My sweet little pretruska’s have arrived from France! They are super cute and would make a great gift for girls of any age.

We also have the lucky charm dolls which are just as divine. Perfect to hang off your bag or dangle about the house . We have 6 pretty Parisian styles to choose from.

PLEASE NOTE - If you would like to enquire about any of these items please leave me a comment or send me an email.

For my lovely customers that can not visit the store we can arrange purchases upon application. I pack and ship our stock to customers far and wide. I hold up the cue in the postoffice choosing pretty stamps to send the parcels! X

We have some really special gift sets in store. Letter pressed cards that feature fruit and vegetables!. Do you have a foodie friends birthday coming up? These cards are just adorable as a thoughtful present for a green thumbs birthday or they would make a lovely thank you gift for a dinner party.

We also have some delightful hot plate holders which are handmade from original vintage quilt squares. These were made just for Newspaper Taxi and are one of my favorite items in store! They just make me want to bake some fresh banana bread so I can have an excuse to use such a sweet little kitchen accessory.

We also have more of the handmade pincushion birds because the first flock flew out the door. Some of these were specially made from vintage table cloths to suit a brighter interior. We still have a good selection of the grubbier tea stained colonial fabric birds for those of us who are channelling J.Morgan Puett.

We also have a whole bunch of vintage ribbon from America. Spools and spools of delicious retro candy striped grosgrain and rayon gingham. These are original rolls not reproductions. They are “New” old stock which came from an old haberdashery store in the USA.

Being a stones throw away from a patisserie (which is rather dangerous) I popped out to get myself some afternoon tea… I couldn’t resist a Summer Berry Tart with Mango from Black Star Pastry. They are so delicious, Chris and his team create the most amazing sweet treats but I think this one is my favorite.

It disappeared rather quickly and one of the big blackberries tumbled a stain down the front of my dress…Oh Dear!

We have some amazing vintage American Valentine’s in store. A great selection of beautiful designs, some date back to the 1920’s. They are just adorable and a sure way to win some hearts on Sunday.

Perhaps someone knocks your socks off… these cards are great too!

And for the lovey dovey cutie pies, we have some gorgeous quilted keepsakes handmade from antique American quilts.

Sweet little hand glittered cards and packs of vintage inspired gift tags. SO cute!

Valentine’s Day cards are available in store!

We have a great range of cards for lovers and others who are not so keen on this lovey-dovey occasion. These quirky handmade cards have super cool – old school fonts and feature a pop quiz on the front… simply tick the appropriate boxes!
