If you still have Christmas shopping to do then pop into Olde Village Wares on Absolon Street, Dumbleyung. Olde Village Wares is located across from the Dumbleyung Roadhouse and has been open for six weeks. The Quack Chat sat down with Eve and Janet to chat about their business and the exciting times ahead.
What does Olde Village Wares offer?
Olde Village Wares offer a variety of new, old, vintage and antique items from day to day household items, furniture, kitchenware, books and glassware. The items are a personal collection of Eve and Janet’s with a few items on consignment plus unique pieces are found along the way. Pop down, check it out and be greeted with old fashion service and a smile.
Have you owned a similar business before or is this the first time?
Old Village Wares was a dream for Eve when moving to Dumbleyung, though she’s been a very successful business woman previously as a pawn broker, auctioneer and in a variety of other businesses. The shop is a hobby for both Eve and Janet and offers something else for visitors and locals to visit.
What can we look forward to at Olde Village Wares?
Olde Village Wares has been open for six weeks and 2017 will see a new addition to the business with the opening of ‘The Secret Tea Garden’. The gardens are currently open for locals and tourists to view with Devonshire tea to start in 2017. A few final touches (as you can see from the street front with a new lick of paint) are yet to be done before the tea garden experience opens.
When can tourists/locals visit?
Olde Village Wares is open Thursday to Sunday from 11am til 3pm. Though if you’d like to have a look outside of these hours please call Eve on 98634 4836.
