Whoever woud have predicted this? The shop is closed. The whole area is braced for floodwaters to come downstream of Echuca. We have been told that there is a possibility that the town will flood if the levy breaks. So just in case I’ve moved my stock up higher and sandbagged the doorways.
However, online orders are still being accepted and processed at the moment. We’ll keep you informed.
Just new in.
This dreadfully rainy weather is a great time to relax and get ready for Xmas. These are simple and fun to make, even for beginners.
You can hang them on your Xmas tree, send them out as cards or give the kit away as a present.
The front of Transformations Gallery and Gift Shop is certainly different. Local artist Rebecca Wells painted the shop. It certainly stands out due to the bright colours. To see it follow the link here. The shop is situated in the middle of Gunbower, next door to Kevin Williams’ Art Gallery. Rebecca’s art features around the town. Her murals are quite distinctive. The shop also sells some of her weavings and prints.
These days, particuarly after Covid restrictions, lots of shops are empty and towns take on that sad, depressing, feeling. Up where I live, in northern Victoria, it’s quite rural and many of the rural towns have been on the decline, since way before COVID. Occasionally, empty shops have been filled up with displays, just to look a but more upbeat. I decided, when I bought an unused shop, that I wanted to contribute something to the community. My idea was to create shop where local art and crafts people could display, and possibly sell their work. it didn’t take long and my shop was full of creative pieces.
To emphasise the nature of the shop, a local artist, Rebecca Wells painted the front with a colorful mural. We decided to illustrate the idea of Transformation. I used the name Transformations previously, when we had a Gallery on our farm. My husband and I love to take old bits and pieces and give them a new life. He works in wood and metal and I work in textiles. The dragonfly and the frog features prominently on the shop front, as both creatures transform. The rest of the mural playfully features the native wildlife of the area.

I opened this weekend. I’m still adding stock and organising some art works
My application to open my shop is with the council and I just have to wait and see when and if I can open. Meanwhile today I put a Christmas tree in the window to get with the spirit. Early maybe, but I
I’ll try to add to the display as the days go by. I must take a picture and post it.
Getting the new shop ready. Putting the cabinets together took more time than I thought it would! It really is slowly, slowly.
I’ve been working on sorting and resorting stock to start to move into my new shop. It’s nice to be busy and excited about planning ahead. I’m looking forward to opening up after being in lockdown for so long.
the kids are getting excited…..there’ll be a new shop soon
