After being stall buddies at Markit, I am happy to announce we are now stocking these super cool handmade vintage picture blocks by PaperScissorsBlock.

I'm loving the map blocks. Perfect for travellers of all ages!

"Flight of the Ducks"

Crafty Flying Duck Call Out!
Can you make flying ducks from recycled or preloved materials..I'm thinking crochet, felted wool, china, plastic, scrap metal or stuff you wouldn't usually expect a set of Nana-rific flying ducks to be made from?We want your ducks for our special "Flight of the Ducks" exhibition to be held at Gleaners Inc. in the Stairway to Nowhere mini Gallery!

If this is up your crafty alley, contact Liz at Gleaners Inc.
Ducks needed to be delivered to Gleaners Inc. or mailed to Liz by December 15th. So put on your thinking caps and get cracking...or as Vic from Punky and Me quipped.."Put on your thinking Flaps and Get Quacking!!!

Some ideas : The famous Kaiser Craft Wooden Ducks are the Bee's Knee's (or should I say the ducks flippers). Find them in Kaiser Craft outlets, craft stores or order online (they arrive in one day!!!!)This pattern is V.CuteThese are snazzy!

So go forth and create some Ducks

Hey Good Lookin'

We have vintage aprons at Gleaners Inc. Here is a small sample of our mint condish beauties, sourced by my retro lovin' pal Rachel. Perfect for the retro housewife in us all.

And for a foodie lovers gift, why not combine a vintage apron with a Write to Me Recipe Journal. Be good lookin' while your cookin'.

Bunting Blitz!

I was getting Bunting separation anxiety yesterday after three lengths of the Curly Pops bunting was sold.
But colour was restored in no time as super efficient Cam whipped up some more and hand delivered it too. And look , we received a South African safari cushion aswell!

Phew..Bunting to the Rescue.

Pretty Pics.....

Natalie Jeffcott from Arthur's Circus popped into Gleaners Inc. yesterday. Never without her trusty camera, we were lucky enough to have some colourful shop vignettes recorded for posterity. See Nat's. website here.
We also now stock the Arthur's Circus range of kids tees, and Chrissy postcards featuring cute retro images taken by Natalie. Sweet as................
