Where’s Mount
Hawthorn:^
Located just
north of Perth- it’s just a
15 minute run.
Where in
Mount
Hawthorn: You
take the Powis
Street exit
on Mitchell
Freeway.
Alternatively,
it’s only a short
walk from
Glendalough
train station.
You can find
us in our older-style building – unassuming from the outside,
but a craft and gift treasure trove once you get inside.
Who plays host: Jennie Boylan, her ‘pound-hound’, Ricky,
and a band of happy helpers.
Worth visiting because: Where to start? If you’re into crafting,
we stock a wide range of patchwork fabrics, teddy-bear-making
supplies, haberdashery, knitting and crochet yarns and many
accessories. If making your own is not your scene (or you need
a gift quickly), we also stock a huge and eclectic range of soft
toys, fun books, giftware, handmade quilts and collectable bears.
We run classes and workshops in crochet, knitting, bear-making
and patchwork – and even have an on-site long-arm quilting
service. Every month there’s a session for volunteers to help
make quilts for foster kids and crochet rugs for those in need.
Craft groups/bus tours are welcome – we’ll even put on morning
tea, providing you give us some notice.
What we recommend: Chunky and unusual yarns are one
of our specialties, along with patchwork panels, book panels
and novelty fabrics. Hand-dyed mohair fur fabric is another.
If you need a gift for a newborn baby, we have child-safe toys
as well as collectable bears. Charlie Bears are just one of the
collectable ranges in stock.
