I love going into a new shop and browsing it from top to tail. This store, which I was alerted to by a reader of mine, had been on my "must visit" list for a little while. I was in the area this week and decided to track it down!
I met the owner and we had a lovely chat - Deb was a visual merchandiser in her previous life for some very large retailers here and overseas and her store oozes visual splendours!!!! she has this amazing ability to mix the old and the new together to create an amazing store that is really worth a visit! The store is full of vintage pieces and now pieces that you wont find in the larger retail outlets - she even supports local designers and makers! I love a store that has a range of homely goods and what I like to call me goods! that is jewellery, handbags and really cool wallets!!!! This is my kinda place......
Now and Then Trading
shop 6 1/15 Hopetoun Rd
Park Orchards

that light fitting is such a "look at me" piece - I WANT IT!!!!
Yay! Great to see you visited this delightful store & Deb, the owner, is a treat. She loves to get to know her customers & I've never left without opening my purse. This store is a true gem!
