The vest that just goes and goes!
This may be my favourite post ever and one of my fave clothing items ever too!
Beth’s size 1 vest is now into year 4 of wear (she’s 4!) and while it’s a little small this year, still totally wearable. What other item in your kids cupboard has lasted that long?
Ordering a vest from me will get you through many winters to come!
Shoot me a message if you’d like one this winter.

(While this is the exact vest I make too - this one was gifted to us by the beautiful who doesn’t make them anymore but makes other gorgeous heirloom items. Check her out!)

So tell me, what’s your preference?

I can’t believe I forgot to post this gorgeous coat last year!
How magic is this wool with this lining - an amazing contrast.
This is my classic coat style, with a hood & wooden buttons.
Custom orders will open again soon & so my plan is to post lots of inspiration here for you over the next week - starting with this beauty!
Tell me what you’d like to see!

I came around the corner and Beth asked me “do you have the strappy?”
I’ve trained her well! She knows that riding can be easy and fun for both of us with strappy in the bag.

Do you have yours?
Get it today using the link in my bio.
Designed and handmade by me in my studio here in Parkes, NSW.
