An Update on the Update!!

SOMEHOW I DELETED MY PREVIOUS POST !!! *#*# I wish I was clever enough with computers to find it! Mr Purly assures me it is here somewhere!!

It went something like this!!

Did you get some bargains in our online sale which finished last Wednesday 31st January? Thanks to all those who did, we had a great response which was so encouraging given we don't have a bricks and mortar store at the moment!

We are continuing with our Pop Up Shop at 1158 Toorak Rd Camberwell, opening Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays during February. That leaves us with 4 days a week to devote to walking the streets where we want to be and  trawling those Commercial web sites continually, to find that new home for Precious Purl. Real Estate agents are not much help. Maybe if we wanted a Multi Storey building they might be more interested!

Our Pop Up space looks great, even though it is small.

 Beautiful hand dyed Lara Downs yarns.

Large selection of wool top for Spinning and Felting

Beautiful Baubles

Bits and Pieces for all sorts of Projects.
Come and visit!

We had a Pop Down Shop now a Pop Up !!

It has been so long since the last post! Sales have been happening over on Facebook, while we continue to search for our perfect or nearly perfect Retail space. In the meantime, we are so pleased to announce that we are having a small POP UP SHOP, opening Wednesday 5th December at 11am.

Our good friends Robyn and Prue of Opendrawer, an inspirational Gallery and Retail space, have offered us the short term use of 1 of their small gallery rooms. Situated at 1158 Toorak Rd Camberwell
(Hartwell Village) it is easily accessible by tram No 75 and getting off at Stop 52. Melways Ref 60 C6.

We will open our usual days Wed to Sat 11am - 4pm. Opening from 5th Dec until 22nd Dec, and then 1 day per week through January (TBA) and maybe evn February.
There is a great little Coffee shop nearby and the added bonus of all the treasures at Opendrawer, the perfect place to shop for that special HANDMADE AUSTRALIAN Christmas gift.

We look forward to catching up with our lovely customers prior to Christmas! If there is something you are after particularly, then email or phone to ensure we have it with us, as space will be limited!

Down and Out but Looking Forward!!

It is quite a while since my last post but sooo much has happened!
 We moved our entire shop downstairs for our 5 day  "POP DOWN" shop and what a success that was!
So much attention from passing shoppers as at last we had great windows for display and so many wonderful customers coming to take advantage of the big discounts.
Thank you to everyone who made the special trip to see us before we disappeared!

The packing and moving was exhausting even with the help of great friends and family, so we are catching our breath, as we continue to scour the Commercial Real Estate and close neighbourhoods for something that has just the right vibe for us! Thank you to all the customers who have made suggestions of spaces, we are working on these too!

While all this was happening I managed to grab 25 minutes on my way to the shop, to drop into the annual sale day for The Victorian Button Collectors Club. I was not going to miss this chance to build my button stash, so a few pics of my loot!

I looove big Buttons! 

I could not go past this gorgeous collection of red and white made by Robyn Caddy, to adorn my neck!

Quite a statement piece!

Please stop by the Facebook page for updates as to where we will appear next!
