"I wish we could live forever
Then melt into the sun
Melt into the sun
Time is gonna change you
Once it gets you on the run
Gets you on the run
There will be
There will be a light
Let the warmth of my love
Dry away all your tears
Fear not for I am with you
I will fear not - fear not - with you here
There will be
There will be a light"
words & music "There will be a Light" by Ben Harper
whom we're off to see this weekend.
so excited, he is one of my
very favourites.

enjoy your easter people.
be safe,
find that light,
& let it in.
{photos of glass votives taken at my sis's house a while ago,
would like to know what sort of mix of paint/wax gives that effect?}
since our announcement last week
there's a lovely little buzz
around for
two golden hours: a pop-up shop.
we are busy
with the website launch,
designing postcards,
finalising menus & music,
engaging artisans,
& lots more.
in the meantime, so we can best
promote our event,
would you be kind enough
to take a few moments to complete
our survey?

meanwhile,
I'll leave you with a sneak peek
of the stunning venue
for our pop-up shop
Yandina Station.
a place of rich beauty
which has a very
interesting story
all its own to tell.
are you transported already?
we hope so.
follow along here,
more coming soon.
our tea-cup planter sets,
available via bluecaravan,
featured yesterday
in Sydney's Daily Telegraph,
as part of a Mother's Day
special gift guide.
each planter comes
with its own little seed packet
for planting.
all orders placed by
Friday 29 April (2 weeks time)
will be gift wrapped
& delivered to her door
for Sunday May 8th.
today is a rather exciting day
as I am finally able to announce
details of that special project
which has been some time in the making.
a working collaboration between
oldyarns, we can now present:
"Two Golden Hours: a pop-up shop"
to be held on Sunday June 12th & Monday 13th
(of the Queens Birthday long weekend)
at Yandina Station, Yandina
(about 10 mins from Coolum Beach).
inspired by the words of Horace Mann
“lost somewhere,
between sunrise and sunset,
two golden hours…”
this pop-up shop will be a window of time for retreat,
a sensory experience of two golden hours.
a truly unique retail experience:
bringing together hand sourced vintage & reclaimed wares
plus an exclusive range of products handmade by local artisans,
in a picturesque Sunshine Coast setting.
there will be a café serving refreshments and sweet treats,
it will be a destination of beauty and character,
of stories and history.
a place for you for two golden hours...
mark your calendars
& tell your friends.
website launching soon.
more details to follow.
