Leoni & Vonk at Beachcomber Cafe

One of our favourite spots in Melbourne is the Beachcomber Cafe on the St Kilda foreshore - fantastic views, food and staff make it a great place to visit especially on a sunny summers day! http://www.beachcombercafe.com.au/www/home/

We are very exicited to be holding our Christmas Pop Up sale there on Tuesday 20 December from 9am to 6pm. Current stock and samples will be on sale - some at greatly reduced prices - starting from just $25. We will also have a selection of quirky homewares from Reg Loves This - also perfect Christmas gifts.

Come down, bring your friends and have coffee/breakfast/lunch and enjoy a bit of shopping by the beach!

We have also added some beautiful new jewellery to our online store including some stunning "one of a kind" pieces. We would also like to offer you a 20% discount on all items on the online store until 25 December including pieces all ready on sale! Just enter the code CHRISTMAS at the checkout and grab yourself a bargain http://leoniandvonk.bigcartel.com/

One month to go.....

Christmas is just round the corner now and there are lots of fantastic shopping events leading up to the big day to inspire your gift buying - here are three quite different events that Leoni & Vonk are very excited to be involved in.

First off the rank is the Melbourne French Festival held in the beautiful grounds of Como House

On Sunday we will be at Federation Square at Markit - this designer market is even bigger this year with stalls in the Foyer, Atrium and BMW Edge.

The weekend after -  in perfect time for Christmas shopping - is Melbourne's original POP UP retail event Magnolia Square at Malvern Town Hall now in it's 7th year!

If you are unable to get to any of these events our online shop will soon be full of lots of new Christmas gift ideas so keep in touch either via the blog or Facebook and/or Twitter. We will be announcing a special discount for all our loyal customers very soon!

In the meantime happy shopping!
