Hi Guys

Due to circumstances out of our control this weekend only we have to close the warehouse as a one off event.
As many of you will have experienced the blue stone pathway is almost finished but due to the rain it is unsafe to access.
The council has blocked the laneway off but have assured us that all is back to normal next weekend.

Big sorry but on the bright side we have a beautiful new bluestone pathway awaiting us and you don't need to wear wellington boots anymore to visit us !!

Our shop Nook Vintage at 258 Johnston St is packed to the rafters to compensate and there are lots of new treasures inside.
We are open all weekend and look forward to seeing you.
Please call us for any enquiries on 0417187196.

Prices and size will be given at the warehouse only as we are just wanting to post the pictures to get some new stock advertised.

Rusty Gold

Well it sure isn't an easy life we lead but we won't complain as it takes us to all sorts of interesting places from obsure tucked away markets to demo yards way out yonder.
There is no glamour in most places we hunt from with lots of broken nails and dust !! (thats just Garys dilemnas)
Still we want to get our followers the best treasures that we can possibly find !!

This week we have some very exciting finds for you to replenish our little store and restock the warehouse for a big weekend predicted.
Lots of one off amaaaaaazing finds !! One piece I am battling with to keep or not to keep as it is just outstanding and we have a wager that it will last less then three hours in our shop window.
Intrigued ? Stay on our FaceBook page and here for the updates.
