Our 8th Anniversary
On the 22nd of October 2009, we will be celebrating eight years in business! Thirteen years ago love brought me from Finland to Australia. And once here, a 'tree-change' took me from the bustling city-life of St.Kilda to the calm headwaters of the Yarra River. The community of Warburton has been most welcoming even though my quirky Finnish sense of humor has sometimes raised a few eyebrows...

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my valued customers who have shown such loyalty during these years! Thank you for making the 'trek' to see me and thank you for the laughs (and a few tears) that you have shared with me! It's been great! Please, do come and see me even if, from now on, you will do all your shopping on-line...

Opening Hours
Our shop is  USUALLY open Thursdays and Fridays from 10am till 3 pm and Saturdays and Sundays from 10am till 5pm. I say USUALLY, as sometimes one of the kids might be sick or due to another emergency, I might not be able to be there. That's why, it is always a good idea to check if you are planning to come to see me! You can reach me on my mobile on 0407 875 404 anytime if you need to contact me.
If I am here in Warburton and if I possibly can, I am happy to open the doors for you even during the week. Just give me some notice and I will turn up!
