The NSW Southern Highlands greeted a colleague and I on a buying trip last week with arctic weather conditions (so much so, we made an emergency stop to buy gloves). As corny as it sounds, our hearts were warmed with a visit to Peppergreen Antiques in Berrima. My photos don't do this place justice - the sense of order and colour-coded merchandising is my favourite thing about the shop, as is the friendly and collection-passionate ladies who serve you. I invested in a little group of vintage cookie cutters (but I could have left with so much more). Sadly, they are in my kitchen cupboard now, I just can't work out a way of displaying them without looking like one of those compulsive hoarders you see on TV. Give me time. And, to those who enjoyed a long weekend, I hope it was a great one.-Briar
Looks amazing! Jealous of the cookie cutters, you'll have to come up with some creative way to show them off. I might save my trip down that way until the warmer months though :p
ReplyDeleteMy all time FAVOURITE vintage store ever. Each time I have been for a visit I have got lost in its vastness of vintage wonder, worth the drive, no matter how far you have to travel :)
ReplyDeleteWow! They so need an online store! Or I need a holiday in the area ;)
ReplyDeleteMy favourite store too! I picked up some beautiful stamps on my last visit :)
ReplyDeleteI would frame some cookie cutters in a shadow box and hang them in the kitchen.

It's ridiculous, isn't it? I am constantly starting strange collections and then having to abandon them because of space constraints.
ReplyDeletePeppergreen is a magic place. Truly magic.
I love your cookie cutters Briar! I would have gone bonkers in a shop like that. Love them.
ReplyDeleteOh wow that place looks wonderful I love it when antique stores are so well organised. Your biscuit cutters are fantastic I havent seen ones like that before, I'll be curious to see how you display them.
