- It's been a while since I've taken you on a tour of the shop. Today I'll take you around the store and show you how I intertwine my handmade range with my second hand junk store business. Plus I'll even take you on a quick little tour of our very little town. Just 2200 population.

It's not junk, it's treasures...there's something for everyone to use and enjoy !! Thanks for the tour, my kind of store, Love it !❤️. Absolutely LOVE all your cabinets, gorgeous !!
Thanks Jessie. We love all our treasures😁
The two of you are such a productive, hardworking couple. Thanks for the tour of your special little town.
Thank you. Can't be hard work when we enjoy it so much😀
Funny how small towns, regardless of location, look so much alike.
You’re a gem Christine. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your skills and creativity.
You're very welcome Kate😀
Christine is literally my hero
haha, thanks Cat😀
What a beautiful town and shop. Your back wall is amazing! You're right the white wall and cubicles really show off your hand made goods beautifully. Well done! Thank you for sharing your shop and your expertise. Wish you much success!
Thank you Gigi😀
Loved the tour. Thanks so much for sharing. Your lake is lovely. It looks so peaceful and serene. And 950 hand crafted items! Wowzer - many of us wouldn’t reach that number in a whole lifetime! Blessings to you, Christine. You’re one in a million! 💕
Thank you Cyn. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour. I was shocked when I realised how much was there., and I still worry there isn't enough!😁
Thank you for sharing your town - it is really quite beautiful. Your shop has everything to set up a home. Love all your tutorials.
Thanks K. We really love it😀
Thank you for showing us around. I really like the way so many Victorian country towns have that lovely green area with trees in the middle of the main street. If we ever get out your way again, I will definitely stop into your shop and say hello.
That would be lovely Kathleen. Chris and I love visits from our viewers😁
I love browsing around in shops like you have. There is always something there that you "need", or a memory you forgot about. And I'll bet the soaps smell divinely! And thank you for the tour of your lovely little town.
We often hear customers reminiscing about their childhood, or their Nan's house when they see particular objects😀
Stores that sell hand made soaps always smell amazing!
And PS. What a lovely little town. I love seeing the sun shining on the lake. Thanks for showing us around 👍👍❤️
You're welcome Christine. We do love it here 😀
Thanks for the tour of town. Chris showed the lake during the flood so nice to see it now with the water lower. Your shop is exactly the kind of place I could get lost in for hours. Thanks for sharing
You're welcome Cynthia. The water took a while to recede, but aside from the caravan park, ours was one of the lucky towns😀
Oh my goodness, how it has changed since i was a kid. We as a family had our caravan there for many years, travel there every weekend and school holidays, where the new slides and and water park area is used to be the caravan park and a metal slide with a little pier on either side. We as kids used to swim across it and burn our bums on the metal slide….i used to get up early and go fishing by myself….and then sometimes us kids would walk into town and get ice creams….we actually found our house in Murchison from one of the real estate agents in town…oh you have bought back so many wonderful childhood memories of this beautiful town of Nagambie….thank you xxx
That's so wonderful Tracey. Unfortunately the caravan park was decimated in the floods back in October. It is having a full rebuild and won't be in operation until mid year😀
I just said out loud that I wish I could see your shop! Thank you for showing your shop to us. It’s great, I love it!
Haha, I must have heard you Margaret😁
Wow I really love your town it is beautiful with a lot of trees, not to talk about the lake. You are a handmaking machine 😊. I wish you a magnificent week.
Thank you so much Giovanna😊
I have so many great memories of visits to friends in Nagambie in th 70s. Lots of swimming at the lake thanks for the tour 😊
You're very welcome Jan😀
Thank you. What a joy to have a guided tour without the backache! It's beautiful and so clean. Love your display ideas.
I've visited Nagambie 3 times on my way to and from Melbourne from Mackay, Cent Qld and love it.
Nagambie has the oldest, family owned winery in Victoria.
Also, the home of one the the founders of Grass Roots magazine fame. Meg.
Well worth calling in off the Hume Hwy. 😁
Thanks Delka. Nice bit of infor on our town. I don't know much about the history of Nagambie, but Chris does. He loves his small town history😁
Thank you for the tour. It’s quite interesting to see. It gives me a better idea of your creativity. You have the kind of shop I could spend all day in. So much to see and ponder over.
Yeah, we love it Pat😀
Such a cute little shop. Those 1800 books would go nicely in my junk journal stash. I love that you have incorporated your handmade goods into your little store. If I wasn't a five hour drive from you I'd be down here in a flash. This place reminds me of my home town. Thank you for giving us a tour of your town.
You're very welcome. Hope you can make it if you have a big road trip😁
That was so fun! Thank you for the tour of your shop and your town. Your shop is my favorite type of shop to spend time in and look at everything . Wow, over 950 handmade items!!! You are busy!
Thanks Evelyn. It's always our favourite type of shop too😁
I'm in awe of all that you accomplish and your shop is fabulous. Thank you for the tour.
Thank you so much😁
I have never seen such a clean tidy second hand store!!! I enjoyed that, thanks :)
Haha, You should have looked at the floor. Leaf litter and dust all over the place😁
Thank you for taking the time to show us around your shop and town. I enjoyed it very much!
Glad you enjoyed it Joyce. Thank you😀
Oh Christine what a wonderful shop you guys have. I love how you have it organized. The little tour of your town was so sweet. It reminds me of our town, we have only one stop light as well. One small grocery and two gas stations and a hardware...woohoo. Sincerely thank you for the videos, Australia has always been so interesting to me. It's hard to believe tomorrow here is the first day of spring for us, it's been a very cold and wet winter in Indiana. Looking forward to seeing your next video.
Gwen
Thanks Gwen. We just lost our only hardware store last year, and we only have one petrol station too, and this town is growing!😀
Love Nagambie was the best kept secret until now, LOL thanks again Christine.
Oops! The cat's out of the bag now😁
Love your little town! A beautiful lake. 950 items your a busy lady. Thank you for sharing your town with us ❤ Happy Sewing ♥️ 🧵 🪡
You are so welcome Adam🙂
Beautiful shop, lovely hand-made items. Great incentive to keep on keeping on with my own creations. Blessings to you both. Wish you were closer, I'm in the USA.
Thanks Christie😀
If only I wasn’t thousands of miles away…I sure could do some serious damage to my wallet in your store! Your town is so cute and the lake is very pretty!
Thanks Donna. We love it here😀
I appreciate how you arranged your china cabinets. When I walk into thrift shops where everything is jumbled and helter-skelter, I feel very uncomfortable and can’t wait to get out. About the large, 9-block(?) bag at the front of your store: LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! Beautiful, colorful, festive without being over the top. I’d have snatched that as soon as I walked in, price notwithstanding.❤
Thanks Sharon. I even have the cabinets lined up in size order. I must do a video for that bag. It was made with a swatch board😀
I so look forward to your videos, I love everything you do and show us, and what a beautiful town you live in. ❤
Thanks Alison. We love it😀
That was a lovely,your town is beautiful and the lake are is gorgeous.Thank you for your tour of your shop it’s lovely,it’s my kind of shop,love going though bits and bobs. Well done to you with all that stock you have sown,I was going to say 300, that’s amazing and the sales you have made.That is clever. Thanks again for the tour.
Glad you enjoyed it Eve😀
Your shop is amazing Christine, so many nooks and cranies to explore. Thank you for the tour. I'm just over an hours drive from you. 💛
OOH, Not so far Leah😀
Thank you for showing us your shop! I so appreciate all the lovely tutorials you share with us as well.
You are so welcome Kim😀
Thank you Christine! Most enjoyable. I always enjoy your videos.
Thanks Rob😀
I love your shop. It's the most organised 2nd hand shop I've ever seen. Wish I lived local so I could visit.
haha, thank you. Whenever people tell me that, I feel as though I should mess it up a little. For a junk store it's probably too organised😁
Thank you for sharing your corner of the world!
You're very welcome Diane😀
Thanks for your viewing such a beautiful town
My pleasure Maureen. Thank you😁
This video made my day! Thank you so much for sharing all of this with us. I loved seeing all these things.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it Debbie😀
What a lovely shoppe! I'll definitely try to get up there the next time I'm in Melbourne. I'll bring some fabric with me from Chicago. It's cold here, currently -7C with some snow that came overnight and that will melt in a few hours when the temps rise again. I love your town, reminds me of where I grew up. There were 2 street lights, a grocery store and a Mom/Pop drug store and a hardware store. Thank you for the tours.
That's about all we have here Ali. Except that the hardware store closed last year. Hope to see you on your next visit😀
Thank you Christine for sharing your town. I have been to Nagambie a couple of times and loved it..
Glad you enjoyed it Margaret. We love it here🙂
God bless, thankyou for the tour, love the store and love the peaceful town..thankyou for sharing
It was a pleasure Leticia😁
I love your shop. So cool the 2 of you can share it. Perfect retirement biz.
It sure is Georgia. We both love it😀
I’ve recently discovered your channel, I’ve seen a few of your bag tutorials (and your shop /town tour) and just wanted to say what a great job you do with your tutorials. You’re very clear and very easy to listen to and watch for learning. Thank you for making your videos. ❤️
Thank you so much, and welcome! 😀
What an awesome shop! This is exactly the place my hubby and I would both love to visit. It's the only kind of place we would ever come out of retirement to work at, so I'm lucky there isn't one as perfect as this near me. Every time we are out and about we shop and hubby comes home with interesting tools for his collection which he then refurbishes and enjoys. He also picks up ewaste and does his best to repair and then we donate. I'm a messy sewer too, so my space would look a lot like yours but with a less useful sewing machine! I'm glad you have found such a cool niche that works for you both. Best wishes for continued success and joy! I had guessed 1500, so I was a bit over:) What a lovely town and lake!
Haha, I thought I might only have about 300. It was quite a shock to count 950.
Chris and I don't feel like we're working, or that we even have jobs. It's a nice mindset to have, and we have loads of fun with our customers🙂
Thanks for the tour. What a nice little town. Beautiful lake.
Thanks DB😀
That’s the best shop I have ever seen, it looks like heaven to me, well done!❤
We sure love it Jilly 😀
Thank you for a tour of your shop and town. I like the area that surrounds the lake.
Glad you enjoyed it Loraine. We love it here😀
Love the shop. I would spend lots fun of time there. Wish it were possible. Also love the small town looks lovely. Thanks for sharing all you do.
Thanks for watching Linda😀
Considering how much you have in the shop it’s displayed amazingly!
Thanks Vivianne. It's much more full now🤣
That is impressive! I love the organization. I wished I lived close by. ❤
Thanks PM. Glad you didn't notice how dirty the floor was😁
Thanks for the tour! You have a great shop and a beautiful lake!
Thanks Vicky😀
Thanks for the tour. I loved seeing the town and your cute shop. Thanks goodness I don’t live near you, I would have been broke by now. I love seeing your video’s. Keep it up!
Thanks Wendy. Perhaps one day you make it over😀
Such a nice shop & town! Awesome! Thanks for the tour!
You're very welcome. 🙂
Oh my goodness what an Aladdin’s cave. You’d never get me out lol. X
Haha, we have many people look around for almost an hour reminiscing their childhood. We spend a lot of our day just chit chatting with visitors 😀
Thank you for a great tour of your shop and lovely town.
You're very welcome Jess😀
Love your little town, still bigger than ours. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Doris. When I first moved to the country, I lived in a town with 400 people. 30 years later, I don't think it's changed much at all. We have a thriving metropolis of 2200😀
Thank you for the lovely tour! I so enjoy your vlogs.
Glad you like them Janet. Thank you🙂
The back wall looks amazing. Your shop is so cool. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much Debbie 🤗
The more I watch you, the more I like you. I love the shop. I’m a second hand store fanatic. Looks like a lovely life! Thanks 😊❤
It's a fabulous life here Elayne. We love it😀
What a pretty little place, thank you for the tour!!
You're very welcome Gram😀
I enjoyed the tour, thank you! Looks like the lake is quite large!
Thanks Laura. It is quite large, but never large enough for all our junk😁
Your shop is very nice, Christine and your town is beautiful! I just found you very recentlly and I'm enjoying your videos.
Thank you so much Cynthia. Welcome😁
Sweet little town. Love the lake.
Thanks Joan. It's a great place to live😀
Wow! You are a very busy lady! Good for you! Much luck to you~!
Thanks Georgy ☺️
Sonice to see where you reside. Beautiful area and fun shop, looks like one could spend hours there looking at all the stuff.
Thanks Kati. We sure love it!😀
You n Chris have a cute shop. I enjoyed it.
Thanks Lucille. We love it😀
What an amazing shop, town and lake. 😊
Thanks Madge. We love it!🙂
I love watching then making some of your Home Made items for our small In Stitches group here in North Wales, UK. I thought I would just look on Google maps to see where you are in Australia. My brother emigrated about 4 years ago to marry his long time love, 35 years after leaving school! He’s only 200kms away in Wodonga and that’s not very far in your vast country. Thanks for the videos, they’re great.
That's not very far at all Christine. My son is working over there at the moment😁
I LOVE thrifting and wish I could visit your shop, very cool!!!!
Thanks C. We love it too, and our shop. We have fun with customers every day😀
interesting tour. we are in QUEEN CREEK, ARIZONA so different. I have been pleased to have found your channel - you're tips and tricks are great - really reignited my interested in sewing - have 6 itty bitty bags in progress. Wishing you the best - back to sewing!
WOW, I just Googled your town. The population doubled from 2010 to 2020. That's so incredible, and looks beautiful too😀 We've gone from 1500 to 2800 population
Thank you for the tour. It looks lovely. I would love to visit some day
Thanks Penny. Hopefully one day you will😁
Your shop is fabulous and I love the Lake and location..
Thanks Jan😀
Great to see your shop. :) typical small Aussie town :) we used to live in Perth where i had needlework stores and did handmade markets ,now we are in a small town in France where I have a shop selling handmade, vintage, fabrics, etc :)
Oh that sounds so lovely Bev🙂
Congratulations for your work and shop! Well done! ❤
Thank you so much Maria ☺️
I enjoyed seeing your shop and town from the other side of the world. Much of it is so very much like similar to familiar places near us. If I had muted the video so as not to notice your Aussie way of talking, I might easily have guessed it was somewhere in Texas.
Chris and I love to find similar shops on our travels.😀
Thanks for sharing your great ideas always. 🎉
You're very welcome Doris. Thank you😀
Great shop! My kind of shopping experience!
My partner Chris just did an update tour. You might like his channel too. It's not sewing, but reusing and fixing stuff.

Thanks for a lovely video. Your shop looks amazing.. your makes look fabulous and so nicely presented. I live in Tassie you never know I might get to drop in one day. ❤❤
You never know Julie. Let's hope so😀
Looks like a lovely town - you have traffic lights!!! Big smoke. We have to travel over an hour to get to a town with traffic lights - Bathurst. I LOVE living in the bush.
It certainly beats the bigger towns/cities😀
Thank you for the tour Christine. It is very nice and big.
Thanks Roni😀
Wow, that’s pretty awesome. Nice store and town.
Thanks Lucy😀
Thanks Christine, i really enjoyed this video. Still planning to visit but will have to wait for the caravan park rebuild. Cheers Gayle from Ballarat
Hoping that won't be too long now Gayle. We had hoped it would open by Easter, but it looks like mid year now😀
Thank you for the tour. What a beautiful place you live in. I like the way you display your back wall. So pretty. Your ideas for handmade articles is amazing. Chris and you make a good team. Your store is lovely!
Thanks Pam😀
Thank you for sharing all that you do. What a lovely town. Reminds me of central Tas, but a lot hotter I’m sure.
Yes, it does get quite hot here Simone😁
Beautiful town Christine... I live in Tara, so when I am next heading your way, I am going to stop in and say hi :)
I just love your shop and can imagine spending quite a bit of time and perhaps money in there :)
Please do! We love viewers visiting us😊
Loved your video and the tour of your shop and city.
Glad you enjoyed it Izzy😀

Glad you enjoyed it Kay😁
I would love to go shopping in your shop. It looks so interesting. The fabric and book areas would draw me over. Your store and the little town looks like they are kept very clean and in good repair. The lake is beautiful. It looks like a nice place to visit and live. Very nice.
It's fabulous here Arvetta. The local council do a good job maintaining it too😀
thanks for the tour -- been wondering what your town was like, too!
You're welcome Lori😀
