Let’s wish Lenora all the very best & Thank her for her service in this industry at Elm Grove Patchwork.
Best of luck and Thank You Lovely Lady. 💝

This is the final weekend to visit the shop for my closing down sale. For in-store shopping finish off a bolt and pay only $10/m for what is left on the bolt. Lots of paper pieces, stamps and patterns still available. Fat eighths reduced to $1.00 each.

Good Evening All,
I’m receiving a huge volume of requests for clothing alterations & repairs at my business - Chrissie’s Timeless Treasures in Ballan.

Yes I can sew, but I’m a quilter not a tailor or dressmaker.

So I’m here to shout out to any dressmakers or tailors in and around Ballan that would like to drop off their business cards or details to my store & I can pass your details onto the countless clients that are looking for alterations & repairs locally.
Please drop in your details at 129 Inglis St, Ballan.
Thanks in advance,
Chrissie 🥰

Lazy Sunday …… I had almost forgotten what a lazy Sunday was for us.
A sleep in, out to brunch for our favourite Dumplings.
Then visited our friends at DJs Vintage Vault in Melton where a couple of purchases were made. 🛍️
Then a tree lined drive to Dayelsford to the Amazing Mill Markets where we enjoyed afternoon tea & yet a lot more purchases were made. 🛍️🛍️🛍️
We headed for home through the canopy of trees through Trentham onto Blackwood where we stopped for a few drinks & snacks too at The Blackwood Pub Hotel. All in all it was a great day out & best of all we got to see old friends too.
And of course a day trip out never ends without a trip into Bunnings!
Love days just like this. 🥰

I hope you’re having a lovely Kings Birthday Long Weekend.
