silver nutmeg & a golden pear designs

I had a little nut tree, nothing would it bare but a silver nutmeg, and a golden pear; The King of Spain's daughter came to visit me, And all for the sake of my little nut tree. Her dress was made of crimson, jet black was her hair, She asked me for my nut tree and my golden pear. I said, "So fair a princess never did I see, I'll give you all the fruit from my little nut tree. Vintage inspired accessories, children's clothing & toys.

Violin days

This weekend has flown by we had a super busy day at Salamanca on Saturday and a great game of netball for Indy and soccer for Oskar followed by a busy Sunday with football and both the youngest having birthday parties to go to.

I am just a wee bit tired and looking forward to a quiet night! Just after I find the uniforms and pack the lunches....

I hope your weekend was awesome!

About me....

Hello welcome to

silver nutmeg & a golden pear designs- my little bit of time out creating...

A little bit about me.... I am a passionate mum to 3 busy children, a very keen designer, seamstress & crafter who just adores the free spirit of creating.
I love children's clothing and accessories, I love toys, I love cute birds, owls, foxes, baby animals, I adore making things that delight my children and the children of my extended family and friends and hope that you will enjoy my creations as well when we meet at markets.

BUT most of all I love being a mamma to my adorable littlies!!
If you feel like saying hi at markets we are at please do!
Courtney and my helpful off sider (official CEO of silver nutmeg & a golden pear designs- I have been told) and beautiful inspiring daughter Indy
