ABOUT US
Hi and welcome to my site. My name is Gretchen and I live in Gisborne on a small lifestyle block with my partner Phil and numerous cats/dogs and miniature horses.
I love spending time in my workshop creating all the ideas that pop into my head!!
After spending years working with native timber I now love working with the amazing colours of wine barrels and of course the divine smell!!
I enjoy taking these old wine barrels and breathing new life into them by crafting them into bespoke pieces such as cheeseboards and platters, light features, coat racks and other unique home wares.
My focus is providing customers with top quality original products with a strong rustic theme. The ever popular wine barrel platters are something special and become a talking point when used serving guests at a function.
I am also branching out into pellet products so watch this space for more quirky ideas.
Happy shopping!

“Recently I purchased a Wine Barrel Garden Ball as a special present. I had a tight time frame to ensure the gift was delivered in time and was amazed at the individualised service I received from Gretchen. She provided product advice so I chose the correct gift, then followed up the next day to ensure the delivery was in time for my deadline. This high standard of customer service is very rare these days.”
Thank you very much.
“I am just loving the Vintage Barrel Platters. I bought one at the Cross Hills Country fair and loved it so much I went online and bought two more as presents. They look fantastic all decked out with food and quickly become a focal point for friends to gather around at a BBQ.
Thanks for such a cool idea for entertaining.”
Cheers
“The stave platter is an ideal gift – rustic and practical but not mainstream.
Personalised caring service meant a fantastic experience all round”
