2011-12-31T22:57:00.000-08:00

After one month of our new store being open, and the Christmas rush over, it's time to catch our breath and do all of those little things ( like posting photos on our webpage!) that were overlooked in the crazy rush. Thankyou to all of our customers who have supported our new venture, we are overhwhelmed with our first month of trading. Sorry things are looking a little bare at the moment, but we will replenish all of the empty spaces with fresh new stock in the next few weeks. We still have lots of lovely pieces to decorate your home,and will always welcome anyone with time to stop by for a browse. Warmest wishes for a wonderful 2012 , it's going to be a great year.

There are some very beautiful things in our Langtree store at the moment, every day there is a tapping on the back door by many a hardworking courier delivering loads of boxes for us to unpack. We are getting through them all, and the challenging part is fitting everything in. We also have lots of vintage pieces arriving all the time, so do call in !

Well the final day has arrived for our Irymple store. Today at 5pm we will close the gate and turn out the lights for the last time,oh what memories the old house has. So nice to catch up with familiar faces over the last few weeks, reminiscing about all of the changes throughout the years.Our sale has been highly successful with so much stock disappearing and we are seeing walls and corners unrevealed for many years, and being able to walk around without turning sideways !

Chelsea Flower Show

2011-06-24T03:08:00.000-07:00

I was fortunate to be in London the same time as the annual Chelsea Flower show was being held. Not only an overwhelming display of every flower in creation,but gorgeous garden furniture,sculptures,topiaries and endless ideas for small and large outside spaces . After walking solidly for six hours around the exhibition,I think ? I may have seen it all. Weeks and weeks of work is put into this show and it is quite amazing,living trees and large plants are brought in for the event,thousands of cut flowers - maybe more than thousands! I took many many photos and have chosen some that portray the varied aspects of the show.

Lovely London-"Anthropologie"and Portobello Road

2011-06-19T22:24:00.000-07:00

Whilst in London I was trying to find my way to Harrods, took a wrong turn and ended up on Sloan Street where Anthropologie sprung up in front of me ! I had always wondered about this beautiful store, and took some photos through their front window ( instore photos definitely not allowed !)The beautiful leadlight windows, tiled entrance and artistic window displays did not disappoint.

Portobello Road Market was one of my favourite places in London. It is held every Saturday in NottingHill,and takes hours to wander through the stalls that go forever.You can find anything from antiques,vintage clothing,bags,shoes,flowers and plants and the most beautiful fruit and vegies.

Buskers in Portobello Road

One of the many market stalls

This shop in Portobello Road does not sell sewing machines ! It is a clothing store, and every table,shelf and clothing rack is vintage industrial,with scrubbed pine floors to give the appearance of a clothing factory.

The buildings in Portobello Road

This stall specialised in silverware,one of everything !

Photos from London and Paris

2011-06-16T02:58:00.000-07:00

Apologies for nothing from Rose Harvest for the last four weeks!!! I have just returned from a very inspiring visit to London and Paris,and hope the following photos bring the sense of ambience and antiquity for as far as the eye can see.
The houses, the shops and markets,gardens,cobbled pathways, and fresh blooms everywhere ( not a single faux plant or silk flower to be seen ) are amazing,and I found myself photographing store windows and displays of impeccable taste absolutely everywhere I went. These are the Paris photos, including St.Paul,Versailles,Montmarte,Moulin Rouge and my favourite place - the Cligancourt Markets in Northern Paris.

Everything you could possibly want and more at the open air Cligancourt Markets,where permanent stalls are housed in roller door front sheds, open Saturday to Mondays.

This French antique settee is priced at the equivalent of $3500.00 , we have an identical one for $1495.00!!

A little bit of Rose Harvest everywhere I looked !!

The volume of old Parisian wares in one place was astounding.......

Much too heavy to pack in the suitcase .......

Stunning Pieces of cast iron

All of these chandeliers just blowing in the wind......

French delight

This elephant was completely made from woven wire

Just waiting to be taken home, pity not to my house...

Keep scrolling...

The size of this chandelier was amazing, no doubt from a large palace ballroom somehwere

Keep scrolling

A chair or two, or three....

So much to see...

keep scrolling

Garden at Versailles

Typical Paris apartments, all with the most charming interior courtyards

Paris window boxes always in bloom, thanks to the abundance of potted flowering plants for sale on every corner...

The famous Moulin Rouge

A courtyard in St.Paul shopping village

I will post some more photos in the next few days.

Great stuff !

2011-05-13T14:55:00.000-07:00

More great bits and pieces to add to your living,working or playing space.

Re-cycle!

2011-05-10T13:51:00.000-07:00

There are some amazing ways to re-cycle these days, old oil drums have been used to create these fantastic stools and birdhouses.

Colours for Winter warming

2011-05-09T14:06:00.000-07:00

There's nothing like warm colours and velvety fabrics to create some Winter warmth and bring out your inner bohemian. There are some gorgeous throws and cushions just in perfect for lighting up a dull day.

Around the store at 42 Langtree

2011-04-30T13:49:00.000-07:00

The most unglamorous part of having a shop that stocks large pieces of furniture, is bringing new pieces in and taking sold pieces out. We would have almost qualified for funniest home videos when moving things around a few days ago, there were lots of "woops" "oh no ! s " and "ouches" as we ducked under chandeliers, squeezed big things into small spaces,

and held our breath as fragile pieces waivered and shook almost toppling over as we bumped into things. At the end of the day everything survived ( pretty much ) and it's nice to have some changes :)

IT'S TIME TO MOVE ON-GOODBYE TO OUR IRYMPLE STORE

2011-04-20T13:51:00.000-07:00

Goodbye to our Irymple store, but hello to our Mildura store !

This announcement is not totally unexpected,as most people know we now have a store at 42 Langtree Avenue which has been very busy for almost a year now. The time came to make a decision as to which store to keep running,as maintaining two stores has been a very challenging experience. We have been country traders for almost sixteen years now and the choice between staying in a rural environment or becoming city retailers didn't come without some regret. Fashions,styles and tastes change, and we are finding more people are leaning towards more simplistic decorating. However, change can be positive and exciting,and we are looking forward to new experiences and seeing familiar faces shopping with us in Langtree Avenue.

This leads of course to a SALE !!! Everything in our Irymple store will be 25% off,starting Easter Saturday. There is way too much stock to move, so come out for a bargain and a browse. We don't have a final moving date as yet, so there is plenty of time to head out for last ponderings and coffees , hope to see you soon - SueX

Hmmm......what to choose

2011-04-10T15:17:00.001-07:00

We have soooo much stock at the moment, perfect gift giving solutions,there are gorgeous things from $1 to $2000.....it really doesn't cost a lot to change a corner or your room or brighten up an empty space.

The Fun of Unpacking

2011-03-19T13:28:00.000-07:00

It's like Christmas every day lately with the couriers calling with loads of boxes for us to open. These French chairs are original antiques imported by a company in Sydney who never fail to find gorgeous things to bring back.

The tall frilly standard lamp is a nice change from the usual leadlight or ballerina shade, nice colouring too.

These necklaces are all made from porcelain and glass right here in Australia.

Fabric covered letters, perfect gift for someone who is impossible to buy for !!

You may not be able to get a clear view of this fantastic table, but it is amazingly heavy on industrial style steel legs, 8 seater - $795

Full length oval mirror $165

Aprons are back !!

Lovely leather journals, all colours

Rainy Night

2011-03-13T15:16:00.000-07:00

I love a rainy night, but not last night! Sadly the much anticipated back lane festival had to be cancelled before it even started due to a huge downpour of rain about 3pm. Hopefully it will be rescheduled in early April.

Pictured is a lovely old red pine meatsafe ($395) and some outdoor or indoor decorations perfect for casual living.

More new stock

2011-03-12T01:58:00.000-08:00

Entry( just for the night )to Rose Harvest will be through the rear doors facing the laneway. See you there :)

Electric blue

These chairs would brighten up anyones day:)

Its a magnificent day for a drive, why not head out to our Irymple store today and have a leisurely browse.

These photos were taken early this morning, the roses have survived the rain and are looking gorgeous!

Rainy Days

2011-02-08T11:20:00.000-08:00

Apologies to anyone who may have ventured out to our Irymple store on the weekend to find us closed, unfortunately due to inaccessable roads,and water absolutely everywhere we were unable to open.We were lucky not to have suffered any major damage as the flood water stopped at the steps but was like a lake in the front and back yards. There are still quite a few roads closed off around us and many people have moved out to temporary accommodation whilst a very busy task force attempts to pump water away. A total of 240ml ( 8 inches) was recorded in 24 hours where we are, so understandably that is a lot of water with nowhere to go.

Meanwhile, (!) at our Langtree store, we are nice and dry and very busy putting out new stock. Unfortunately I am having problems uploading photos to this page at the moment, so if you click on the facebook link at the top of the page it will take you to our public site which has 67 new photos of some very lovely things. Hopefully I will be able to also load the photos here in the next few days.

Re-Stocking

2011-01-29T13:10:00.000-08:00

Both stores are looking fully replenished after the hectic Xmas season, with lots of new and interesting things arriving each day, come in for a browse.

Just arrived

2011-01-27T01:52:00.000-08:00

This stunning and very tall lamp was unpacked today, the base is very heavy crystal, most unusual.

I really love these heavy iron outdoor seats, in an aged finish to create an antique appearance.

We have lots of new lanterns of all shapes and sizes, made from metal, wood and wire.

Frenchy Bits

2011-01-24T12:28:00.000-08:00

A little touch of France evolved yesterday when we brought in some lovely gilded chairs and a most stunning cream painted display cabinet.

These milk paint finish cabinets are ideal for a bedside or to add some contrast to a room.

This gorgeous chair has been refinished in a completely hand-sewn patchwork denim,something different!!

Lovely trays, even nice hanging on the wall , or propped somewhere on display.

Very heavy weight stone pheasants, these can be used outdoors, but quite a stunning indoor statement.

Coming and Going

2011-01-15T02:13:00.000-08:00

Quite a lot of furniture has been sold and moved out and quickly replaced with some interesting new pieces. The gorgeous dresser in the first photo is c1880, it's not perfect after all those years of use,but very unusual and would fit into a new or old house quite well.

Post Christmas Browsing

2011-01-04T13:29:00.000-08:00

Now is a great time to come for a relaxing browse, with the Christmas rush over and lots of new stock at our Mildura store.
