This is just a quick snap of the selection of really cute socks in store right now! Want happy feet this winter come in and see us!
Strips and crazy colours plus more mens sizes!

Mmm, hungry for a  gelato anyone?? Hookturn have delivered these delicious range of pastels just in time to awaken mum with a coffee....four colours pink, green, blue and lemon.

Hello, just to let you all know the shop will be CLOSED from Friday 22nd and re Open on Wednesday 27th.

Also our phones are working again! NBN had carefully cut through the phone/eftpos line yesterday, so any queries over the weekend, leave a message.

Hope you all enjoy some chocolate and quite break, see you next week.

We're looking for weekend staff....if your interested email us at info@fiveboroughs.com.au. Look forward to hearing from you.

Yee Haa look at these cute tees from Brunswick buddies 'Sunday Morning Designs'. Starting in sizes for those closer to toddling this time round (yes thats Charlie now!). In super fine cotton, made, designed and printed locally, just lovely.

One day a sweet girl came into our store and told us she was designing some stationary and would we be interested in seeing it...some time later she popped back in and in that time she had created 'Ask Alice'. Designed, printed, made in Melbourne which is quite an effort. We have just had a delivery from her in the past couple of weeks and if you've got some notes to jot or a memoir to scribe this is it. Beautiful fabric, hard covered books are just one of her off springs. Pop in to see other designs.

Country swap meet this weekend, and these were added to the family. I was working in the shop when an email came through quoting that there had been car purchases made, I was wondering how much more could possibly fit in the garage, and now I can happily try fit these in the toy box....also over flowing!

Happy weekends everyone.
