24.01.2022 I took some photos of my shelves at the moment. I've been experimenting with dying some peg dolls and really loving the results. Remember to get your orders in by the end of October to guarantee delivery for Christmas.... I'm also hoping to have some last minute, ready to post items available early December.
21.01.2022 A big stack of Large Sunflower Rainbow Stackers machine sanded and ready to be hand sanded. Then they'll be painted and oiled, packaged up and posted (on either Friday or Monday).
19.01.2022 My first task today is packing a few of these puzzles ready to post. Did you know that the plastic bags that I wrap these in (and some other items) are made from plant based cellulose and are completely biodegradable. So is the bubble wrap that I now use. They can go straight into the compost.
19.01.2022 Just a quick reminder that my 15% OFF STOREWIDE SALE ENDS AT MIDNIGHT TONIGHT

17.01.2022 I got a new scroll saw yesterday. So today I am giving it a test run. I love it so much that I decided to give my first video a go. This is me cutting out a Little Leaf Child.

14.01.2022 This is the first time I've actually painted one of these Beehive Stackers... And I even managed to get a quick pic of it before wrapping it up to post. While I'm here, make sure you get your orders in by the 31st October to make sure you get it in time for Christmas.
12.01.2022 You can always tell when I've got a pile of work to get through because I don't post very much on social media. Sorry about that, but I am still here, working hard! We're getting close to my cut off date for Christmas orders. Order by the 31st October to guarantee delivery in time for Christmas.... I'll put the link to my website in the comments.
08.01.2022 Making a comeback from last year... The Snowman Stacker. This 6 piece Snowman stacking puzzle is a raw, unfinished item. It has been hand cut by me and lightly sanded to remove any sharp nasties. It may need some extra sanding especially in the corners, depending on how smooth you would like it. Or it can be sealed (with wax or oil) as it is. Sanding and finishing is a wonderful project for the kids. Let them sand to their hearts content and then paint and/or decorate, allowi...ng them to become a part of the toy making process. It measures just over 18cm tall, 11cm wide and made from sustainable pine that is approximately 2cm thick.
07.01.2022 I've now added a few varieties of these ribbon kites (or hand kites). Just over 24 hours left until my sale ends and these will be included until then. A great option for stocking fillers, party prizes or just some floaty, spinny fun!... https://www.theoldtechniqueboutique.com.au//pr/ribbon-kite
07.01.2022 Today is my birthday! I'm feeling very happy especially with this beautiful weather in Adelaide, so I've decided to do a spur of the moment sale! 15% OFF for 2 days only! Storewide. Head to my website and start stocking up on your Christmas goodies. ... On a completely different note.... This is a Sunflower I've been working on. I was going to make it into a magnet (strong enough to hold stuff to the fridge!), but now I'm wondering if I should make it into one of my little boxes. Maybe I should do both. What do you think?
06.01.2022 Well, my celebration birthday sale is almost over. Thanks so much to everyone who has made an order!
