Mother's Day from Minty & Co.

The cult classic Smith's Rosebud Salve and Minted Rose Lip Balm- a perfect little gift for your Mum.

The exquiste poetry book A Once Courageous Heart by Kylie Johnson.

Beautiful pages from the book...

Don't forget that it is Mother's Day on Sunday 13th of May - which, at the speed that this year has been going by, will be here before you know it.
Here are two great gift ideas from Minty & Co for your lovely Mums. They would love the gorgeous Smith's Rosebud Salve or the Smith's Minted Rose Lip Balm (my favourite). I was introduced to the Rosebud Perfume Company when a friend gifted me the Minted Rose Lip Balm from his trip to the USA. The Rosebud Salve is the flagship product from Rosebud Perfume Company (still a family owned business) and is a true beauty classic. It has been around since 1895.
Also available from Minty & Co is the exquiste book, Once a Courageous Heart by Kylie Johnson.  This book is a collection of poetry bound in a rich dark brown cloth and printed on beautiful cream paper. The text is in brown and blue and features original illustrations. It is truly a unique book.
Minty & Co will giftwrap these Mother Day's gifts for you - shop at Minty & Co here.

Sale Time at Minty & Co.

It is sale time at Minty & Co! Have a look and see there is something lovely for you to enjoy or a gift for loved one.

It was great to have Claudia Zinzan's profile on here last week and I was especially impressed by her comments about Father Rabbit - "...and am always searching for things that appeal to Father Rabbit’s aesthetics. It is so helpful to have such a strict philosophy with Father Rabbit, helping to say no to lots of crap out there!" I agree with this observation and have been in thought about the progress for Minty & Co and its philosophy for a while.
So for the meantime enjoy the sale and I'll keep you posted with our progress!

New at Minty & Co - Preloved and Reborn Drawers

Today I am loving the latest additions to the Minty & Co store - these two sets of preloved and reborn drawers.
The large drawers were worse for wear when I found them and they needed some serious TLC. After the restoration, they were refinished in a great donkey brown. These useful drawers would look great in a bedroom or as sideboard for a living/dining area. Take your pick.
Meanwhile the smaller drawers with the cute retro legs have been smarten up in a sophisicated grey to suit any bedroom and any age.
I have used classic satin chrome flat round pulls on both sets of drawers to stylishly finish them off. What do you think?

New at Minty & Co - Preloved and Reborn Dining Chairs

Here is the latest addition to Minty & Co - a set of four preloved and reborn dining chairs. These lovely Scandi-style chairs have been restored, reupholstered and reborn with a new lease on life. The upholstered seating and back is covered in solution dyed acrylic fabric (outdoor fabric and still nice to sit on!) so the chairs are ideal for a sunny space (less fading) and is hardwearing (great if you have kids). If you're interested, make sure you pop into Minty & Co and check them out.

'His' and 'Hers' Pillowcases from Minty & Co.

All has been going well with Minty & Co! We are almost a month old and it started with a bang. Thanks for the great welcome and I have been enjoying meeting my Minty & Co customers over the last few weeks via emails, Facebook and Twitter.
Coming up over the next few weeks is a new group of pre-loved and re-born furniture as well as some gorgeous white candleholders from Sweden.
I really like our 'His' and 'Hers' pillowcases that we have at Minty & Co. They are a great wedding gift or a present for the couple that has everything (all ages!). These cotton pillowcases are 300 count thread - so they're great quality and finish off a nice crisp white bed.

I love this set of French note cards designed by Anna Bond of Rifle Paper Co. These (and other gorgeous notecard sets) are coming soon to Minty & Co.

By the way - as of a moment ago (7pm NZ time) Minty & Co. officially (and quietly) opened. I would love to hear from you - any feedback is appreciated whether it is about the website, the products or what you would like to see in-store for the future. Thanks in advance for your support.

Minty & Co Teaser

I don't want to give too much away about Minty & Co because as we start out, we have kept the selection small (quality over quantity!) and of course, we would like some surprises for you when we go live. However, in saying that, do you like this divine generous sized bow bag above? We love it. It is from the USA and will be available through Minty & Co.
