Last night we had the pleasure of preparing a private dinner for a 40th birthday at a beautiful guest house in the Southern Highlands, for some lovely long time regulars of the store.
We started with a candle lit cocktail hour in the lounge, with our favourite snacks, spicy margaritas and cherry sodas for the little ones. We set the table for dinner by the fire and served oysters with a white balsamic mignonette, caramelised garlic brioche, chicken liver parfait, and crab vol au vents with caviar to start. Followed by handmade goat cheese tortellini and braised beef short ribs. Dessert was birthday cake with homemade ice cream.
Always an honour to be a part of special celebrations š

End of another big weekend in the little shop.
I hope everyone had the most beautiful weekend celebrating and remembering their Mums.
In particular my incredible mother, and my beautiful team of mothers and daughters š
Together we pulled off a marathon week of our Motherās Day gift stall and sale, a week of celebratory lunches and dinners, and a lavish party on Saturday night for good measure.
Tired but happy. Thanks for letting us be a little part of another special day š

Big thanks to everyone who popped past our Motherās Day stall / Verandah Sale yesterday š
It was another great success thanks to your lovely support.
We have a tiny bit remaining from the sale which Iāll post tomorrow and is on a shelf in the shop until itās gone - a few handblown glass jugs and vases, some pantry items, and a few odds and ends are all thatās left!
Weāll have a mini version of the Motherās Day stall out on the verandah for the rest of the week - think , .lane.farm olive oil and skincare, cards, wrap and journals, a few lavender wheat packs, lovely beeswax candles and olive wood kitchen ware - all the nostalgia of the school Motherās Day stall with a little epicure flair. The shop is filled with beautiful chocolates and cheese and the usual bits to make the perfect gift.
Iāll pop menus for the week on stories - Saturday is already looking busy for pre-Motherās Day lunch, but we have space on Friday night and lunch across the week for an early treat. Weāll be closed on Sunday as usual.
Thereās a small selection of pastries etc for pre-order online for Saturday - otherwise we welcome you to just drop in to find the little luxury just for her š
