Happy Holidays

Hello there. Right now I am formulating a plan of action for Gleaners Inc.over the January school holidays.

Stay tuned as this Mumma attempts to juggle the bejesus out of her many balls flipping around in the air. 

I know for sure we will be closed from Monday January 7th to Friday January 11th while I chillax down at the Prom.

While you wait I have posted some pretty pics.of the shop for your viewing pleasure. 

Enjoy your New Years Eve celebrations and Hooray for 2013. I have been waiting patiently for you to come around so I can leave this past doozy of a year behind us for good!!!

Good for gift giving Goodies!

Here are just a few of the cool and colourful, good for gift giving goodies you can find at Gleaners Inc.this Christmas.
The Ruby Jayne teacosies are proving to be a hit as are all these yummy products; like Whiskers Lane embroidered badges, Betty Jo Designs necklaces, A Little Vintage dolls, Pleatybunny by Miss FOO artwork and accessories, Madz Has Runaway brooches, and  PipDesign kitties!

Christmas Opening Hours

Waiting for Marco!

 If you have ever visited our shop over the last one and a bit years you may have spotted Xavier the local cat chillin' out the front. Xavier will sit all day on my chair waiting if his owner Marco is walking to Sydney Rd. to run errands. But only if he says STAY! If he forgets, Xavier will follow him down Sydney Rd. and wait outside Safeway like a good pooch!

Xavier keeps me company and generates alot of oohs and aahs from the young ladies. This handsome furry dude must have used up quite a few of his nine lives the way he ambles across  roads in hoony Brunswick!
Be safe Xavier xx

Tis' the Season

After questioning the appropriate time to put up the Chrissy tree and decos on Facebook, the general consensus was the first  weekend of December.

So a tree was procured from Spotlight and the op-shop ornaments were taken out of storage. Babs is impressed with her unintentional colour co-ordination!

I also found the fairy lights!

Pop into Gleaners Inc. for awesome handmade, Aussie made products this festive season.
