The name

Things worth keeping.

Dear Lois is named after my grandmother. She was my nan, but really she was my friend.

So much of what we hold onto comes from grandparents. The cut glass kept “for good”, the little dish that lived on a shelf for fifty years, the trinkets quietly handed down, each with a story tucked inside.

This shop is my way of saying thank you: to her, and to all the grandparents who fill our lives, and our cupboards, with things worth keeping.

Found in Wollongong, sent across Australia.

Every piece is photographed honestly and packed with care.
