Just a Short Drive

June 15, 2017 By editor

Support The War On Waste

The Mallee Hen’s Nest is driven by a hate of waste and love of repurchasing.

It has been open for 18 months and has declared war on waste selling second-hand furniture and pre-loved clothing.

“The name is what our mother used to call our cubby house 120 miles west of Bourke where I grew up – a mallee hen’s nest is always pretty random and thrown together,” says owner Libby. “We want to create a har- monious space with good quality, quirky and well made pieces at reasonable prices.”

Get Into Life And Live It!

Sisters Beth and Jo decided to create The Flower Makerie last year after tragic family losses. Their driving force is to get into life and live it, as life is too short. “We love community and bringing people together.”

The Flower Makerie is a florist, homewares and gift shop in Wellington NSW. “We sell fresh flowers for all occasions. Our giftware range includes hampers for any occasions, unique garden wares, Josephine Candles, cushions, homewares, hand and body prod- ucts and artwork for your home.” They de- scribe their style as industrial eclectic with a luxe influence.

The store is a new venture for the sis- ters and as they are passionate and crea- tive, it allows them to combine their love of flowers and styling. They also offer regular creative workshops, and cater for all floral needs, such as birthdays, sympathy and small events.

Coffee With all the Trimmings

Opening early July, Jespresso Coffee is a wholesale coffee supplier with passion based in Wellington. They will offer a range of different services including coffee cart hire, barista courses and training, cater- ing, servicing and spare parts. “We pride ourselves on our outstanding service and quality products.” Their signature little cof- fee cart has been doing the rounds mak- ing good coffee, and will be on site before the opening brewing their signature blend, Lily’s Blend.
