Christmas gifts...For all the family...Made in Australia

Whilst browsing around Mornington Peninsula last week, I came across a very interesting shop.  Of course, for me,  it's all about Made in Australia and here on the Mornington Peninsula I have been finding some great small businesses who have Made in Australia products...and this week I'll tell you about The Country Shop at 103 Main Street Mornington...here. This shop is a real find and their wonderful shop windows are very popular...just like the Christmas one below...

I really enjoyed browsing in this shop...located in the centre of Main Street, the elegant store with its bay windows, bras fittings and polished boards, is a real delight.  Sue, the owner is very friendly and is very committed to buying unique, Australian made products when she can, from small businesses and local Peninsula talents and artists.

I particularly loved the locally made quilts and cushions for the babies.  They were very cute and importantly, very well made...here

Another item that caught my eye were the Christmas cards...the ones here are the Smile series and are locally made...There are many other cards by artists...they are just lovely and so very good...Sue tells the story of an aging artist who can no longer paint, but has photographed her paintings and made greeting cards with them...such a commendable approach isn't it?..

Then there is the inventive handmade jewellery locally made of course...The homewares and gifts are many and varied in this lovely shop and also of good value for all the family...I would recommend allocating some time to browse, because there is a lot to see for a delightful shop...here

With Christmas fast approaching, I will be putting up some of my favourites that I have written about during the year which I hope will entice you to buy Made in Australia...I would love to hear from you with your suggestions for good Australian made Christmas gifts...
