After our marathon travels to London, through Europe and with a quick stop through Dubai (from which we picked up some beautiful bits and pieces, beads and fabric!!!) we decided we should knuckle down and get busy working!

From September we will be launching our first run of our original mini collection series - 6 original themed pieces per collection, each unique and of limited stock. Our first collection "Flights of Fancy" is a limited selection of feather inspired jewelry - collars, cuffs, earrings and headpieces...

(And we have to admit... we're pretty excited!)

You want a sneak peek, do you!?! 
Well... ok! 
Below: a few of the very early pieces from the Flights of Fancy Collection. 

We're baaaaack!

It's been a while... but we're back!

And we got straight back into the swing of things, dragged ourselves out into the cold of the August morning, and set up at the Brisbane Valley Markets last Saturday. Met some great customers, sold some really cool pieces (we're noticing you're loving our retro denim shorts and quite a few different scarves this time around... preparing for festival season maybe?) Also had a chat to many lovely stall holders and drank way too many cups of tea as usual... A great day!

Especially lovely to meet our neighbour for the day, Fiona of Tree Party Designs 

- Fiona makes the cutest brooches, pendants and earrings (the jewelry was so cute I had to phone my flatmate to come and check it all out (she wanted to buy everything but settled on the cutest little vintage look birdcage pendant) 

Find out a little bit more about Fiona and her designs here

We're about to head off to do some serious sourcing/buying/vacationing to London, through Europe and Dubai... So expect some amazing finds arriving in store next month!
In the mean time, stay tuned for our travel updates as we scout around for some amazing pieces from all over the globe!
Can't wait to bring the TRUNK out in August to show you all!

The night before the big day

...Our NOW&then TRUNK debut at the Valley Markets!!!

It's been a big few days, organising last minute bits and pieces and all the little things we forgot to remember, but I think we're gona be okay (weather permitting... if it rains we're... well... let's really hope for a sunny day, okay!) Can't wait to see how it goes. Going to be a long day but hopefully we'll see a few familiar faces drop by throughout the day!

Highlights...
We have a Beauty Cycle pamper treatment draw to giveaway, a 50% off voucher from the NOW&then TRUNK to be won, and we've even recruited our very own paparazzi for the documentation of our NOW&then TRUNK debut and the lovelies who get there tomorrow, so some great pics to come!

We're really excited it's finally, almost here and we hope to see you there tomorrow so come drop in and say hi

The TRUNK: upadate

Been a big day today, preparing the TRUNK for our spot at the Valley Markets (this Saturday 8am-4pm!) Tagging, pricing, sorting and packing like little maniacs... and hoping the perfect Brisbane weather stays perfect and performs some serious sunshine for us (fingers crossed!!) 

Out with the old, in with the new... swing tags!

 

Cryptic sneak peek - One of our brand new pieces!!

It's been a little while coming... from the initial idea for a retro/vintage shop from home (dreamed up by two friends and I sometime last year... or was it the year before!?!) ...
This weekend (Saturday 26 June) we will be selling at the valley markets with our latest addition...

...The NOW&then TRUNK!

The TRUNK may not look much right now but over the following days and weeks we'll be fitting it out, filling it up with as much store stock as it can manage and bringing it to you THIS SATURDAY at the Brisbane VALLEY MARKETS! (8am-4pm)

Come by and check out the TRUNK, we'd love to see you there!
Stay posted for more updates as we makeover the TRUNK this week (you can follow us if you like, just click the little 'follow' button on the left side of the page)
