Droughts can be so cruel, and this one is a rough one. With no real rain to speak of since June, we’ve had to make some tough calls on which parts of the garden get protected, and which parts we need to let go of. Lawn and a summer veggie patch (which I love so much) have been sacrificed so that we can keep the bulk of our investment alive… because after all, that’s what a garden is, right? An investment in time, money, energy… and water.

We’ve lost entire trees worth of fruit overnight because the animals are struggling for food too… it’s all a bit disheartening.

Instagram so often paints pretty, filtered versions of life, but there’s a flip side. There is a kind of beauty in this too I suppose, albeit not the kind I’d choose. To all my fellow gardeners, farmers and those working the land, I hope you’re finding a way through. This too shall pass 💛

Merriest of Christmases, vintage lovers! Thank you all for your support this year, as always I wouldn’t be here without you. May your festive season be merry and bright and full of naps 💛🎄💛

Morning vintage lovers! I have decided to part with my darling plant cart, and so many of you admired it over the years so I thought I would give you first dibs on it. She’s displayed many a hydrangea & buddleija plant for sale, and now it’s time for her to show off someone else’s greenery 💚 // $275 //

It’s time for my annual ‘hydrangea appreciation’ post! Isn’t she a beauty? And all from a cutting! As you can see I have some very *PINK!* ones flowering in the nook… probably not my first colour choice but they’re still putting on quite the show. Maybe I’ll try to turn them blue 💙🤔 Have any of you done that successfully??

Apologies for the lack of updates recently, vintage lovers. The Etsy store has been pumping along in the lead up to Christmas! Don’t forget, if you see anything on there you like, sing out as you can save on shipping and fees if you come to me directly.

Fingers crossed for rain tonight! 💛

How have you been, vintage lovers? I thought I’d check in with an update.

The restoration of character-filled pieces continues over here at the Three Oaks, and I just had to share this beauty with you all! I sourced this vintage Oregon wood worker’s bench with the hope of turning it into a gorgeous outdoor table for my mum’s new pergola. As with a lot of old work benches, it had one fabulous bit of timber, and the rest was just cheap ply. (See last pic for its original state)
Together my partner Justin and I sourced some matching Oregon to complete the top, and he got to work piecing it all together and restoring it – and this is the end result! The timber has such a rich tone, and the old vice and drawer with the heart-shaped handle just had to stay. It goes to its new home this weekend.

Giving new life to old pieces is such a worthwhile use of your time – this one will no doubt outlive us all! 💛

It’s become a bit of a tradition over the last few years for my partner and I to visit the ‘Hidden Gardens’ festival in the Adelaide Hills for my birthday, and last week was no exception. These historic properties are not normally open to the public, and offer a glimpse into what our own gardens might look like in another century or so (and if we bought the neighbouring 10 or so blocks to go with it 😬). It’s hard to believe these places are just up the road, most of them look like something out of an English magazine! I thought you might enjoy some snapshots from our day out. 💛

// This week marks four years since I began Three Oaks Vintage. In that time, I’ve seen my business mature and develop, and expand into other selling platforms. I’ve met so many of you gorgeous people in person, and after decades in customer service, I can categorically say you’re the best customers ever!

With development comes change, and I now find myself needing to alter things, to focus my attention on the parts of my business which are growing the fastest. Going forward, I will be reducing the time dedicated to selling items on this local page, so I can expand my Etsy shop.

To put things into perspective, each sale post placed on this page represents about 8 hours of my time (sourcing, collecting, cleaning, polishing, researching, stylising, and finally posting to this platform.)

Until now, I have essentially been running two different businesses, and I’m finding that I haven’t been able to dedicate sufficient time to either of them, and as a result I feel like neither are getting the attention they deserve.

Of course, anything posted to this page previously remains available for sale, and I will still keep you all updated on the exciting lives of chickens, garden developments, and handy hints for polishing, pruning and stylising. Anything you have asked me to source or would like me to source – I will continue to hunt them down for you!

I encourage you to pop over to my Etsy page in the coming weeks – there is a bunch of stuff I’ve not posted here, and soon there will be a lot more! Anything that takes your fancy can still be purchased from me directly, at a saving of around 30%, as you’ll be avoiding all their crazy fees!

I will still look at opening my garden and show room in some form during spring, but it may look a little different… I will keep you posted.

That’s all the updates I have for now. Thank you all so much for your ongoing support over these past four years – it’s seriously flown by!

Enjoy your weekend, vintage lovers! 💛

What a treat I have for you today, vintage lovers! Much to my delight, I’ve managed to track down one more elusive pair of antique French doors… these beauties have some wonderful hand turned details and are the last pair available for what I think will be quite some time…

// 19thC French chateau doors (H249cm, W121cm) SOLD // huge copper jam pot with matching lid (D47cm) $230 // iron laundry trolley with basket $120 //

03/09/2024

Happy Tuesday, vintage lovers! Here’s hoping you’re all getting a much-needed vitamin D fix, assuming you didn’t all blow away over the weekend 😐
Some antiquated silver beauties for you today:

// middle eastern silver/copper sifter (D35cm) $60 // very large English 19thC mesh and silver cloche (L41cm) $215 // pair of French aluminium utensils (ladle and strainer) $50/pair // vintage champagne bucket $95 // farmhouse cutlery bundles $15ea //

30/08/2024

It has occurred to me that quite often I post items which not all of you get to see, for various reasons, so this morning I thought I’d reshare some 19thC Baltic pine beauties which are still waiting for their new homes 💛

// stripped shield door sideboard $365 // drawers with bun feet $275 // magnificent Germanic Barossan meat safe posted last weekend // ** most accessories now sold, but it’s worth checking in with me as I may have spares**

29/08/2024

All this unseasonable warmth has moved the garden along considerably sooner than I’m comfortable with. One of my favourite times of year has arrived about 4-6 weeks early… 😐

What about where you are, vintage lovers? Has spring sprung in your garden yet? 🌱

23/08/2024

Possibly my favourite piece to ever come through the shop is up for grabs this morning, vintage lovers – a genuine heirloom piece. Lovingly restored, with glazed windows added, this meat safe is without a doubt one of a kind. What a find! 💛

// 19thC Germanic Barossan shield door meat safe with glazed top (two upper & two lower shelves, and three drawers – H163cm, W117cm, D57cm) $875 //
