About Vintage Mosaic Boutique

My name is Siobhan and I am the person behind VINTAGE MOSAIC BOUTIQUE I am a SAHM with a beautiful 6yo boy who keeps me very, very busy being a real typical boy! But I am not complaining, I would never change a single bit of him! My son, hubby and I live in Melbourne, Australia and just love it here. We are very lucky to be close to our family and friends and are very grateful for that. Below is a pic of me and my family out at dinner, starting from top left to right my hubby, father and mother in law, me, my sister in law, my mum, my son Jake and my brother.

This is my son Jake when he was out flying his kite at the park. He is a very lovable child but at the same time a real boy if you know what I mean! I love him so very much.

I have a huge passion for collecting lots of pretty china and would have to say at the moment my favourite would have to be the European Makers like T&V France and Vienna Austria, they are so very fine and delicate...just beautiful. My latest addiction is the Rhinestone Clocks...BOY...I need to stop soon before my hubby goes mad! lol. I also enjoy going to the early Sunday morning markets when I can drag myself out of bed that is! I love finding lots of vintage treasures for my home.


I just love creating china mosaics and consider myself very lucky to have something I enjoy so much. I am also very grateful for my family supporting me with this venture. My mosaics are inspired by yesteryears gone by and fit in lovely with the shabby and chic cottage home. I create a large range of items from birdbaths, tables, lazy susans, bird houses, photo frames, jewellery boxes, coat racks, Christmas decorations and the list goes on.


Thankyou so much for learning a little about me, please drop by MY WEBSITE soon...I would love to see you there.
Kindest Wishes,
Siobhan

The Person Behind Bumble Bee Designs

My name is Pietrina and I live in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales, Australia. It is a beautiful area to live with lots of friendly people, close to the Hunter wineries and the beach is only 1/2 hour away. Here is a photo of my family. It was my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary. I'm in the back row 2nd from the left with the long blonde hair.

Let me tell you a bit about how BUMBLE BEE DESIGNS BOUTIQUE evolved. I started making baby booties for friends and family for baby shower gifts or baby presents and everyone loved them so much they encouraged me to start sharing them with others. Which is how BUMBLE BEE DESIGNS BOUTIQUE began!

I then started to make jacket's and hat's along with the booties. People have purchased my garments from all over the world and I have received wonderful feedback from them. I love what I do and I have enjoyed meeting so many people who have become good friends. Here are some photo's of my work.

I have been doing embroidery and cross stitch for year's and you will always find me with a needle and thread doing some form of craft work. I have worked for quite a few years doing cross stitch and embroidery for design companies and magazines here in Australia. I have to say I love what I do and I'm so enjoying the path my life has now taken.

I'm quite involved with selling on ebay as well and I'm part of a wonderful group called WISTERIA LANE. A group of very talented designers from clothing to accessories for children & adults. We do special themed auctions every month and I will be sharing some of my new designs with you on the blog.

Well that's all from me for now but I can't leave you without showing you my cute little toy poodle Teddy. He really is a delight & he has such a beautiful nature!

A Little About Gail and Tony McCormack

We are a husband and wife team creating original paintings and handmade furniture with a difference. Our specialty is finding interesting vintage frames and salvaged buildings products. Along the way we often find all sorts of treasures to give a revamp too.

We live in Mount Martha on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, just minutes from beautiful beaches, wineries, restaurants and boutique shopping centers, we live in an original old cottage which has lots of history and character and I might add lots of repairs to be done too! The photos "B, C & D" show our historic "Males Cottage" home.
Photo "A" is Tony's work in progress...hmmmm?? Tony in his former life was a bricklayer/stonemason as you can see by the beautiful limestone work on the bottom of the cubby. The building was originally going to be our daughter Ellie's cubby house, she is now 21 and ready to leave home! I'm trying to claim "Ellie's Cubby" as an art studio, don't you think it would be perfect!

Below are my companions Guss and Bella who never question what I'm doing or demand anything from me (0nly food and walks) they just give me their unconditional love and affection"

Tony and I have both worked fulltime building our new business and life style for approximately 10 years, we sell at Craft Markets, Retails Outlets, Tony's workshop and of course through the Internet. We are both self taught and are absouletly loving our new change of life style.
