NEW IN - just in time for spring adventures!

We were going to tuck these away until a little closer to Christmas… but they were far too good not to put out straight away. 😂

A beautiful new collection from Our Earth Life has arrived at Calico, filled with clever little ways to get kids outside, exploring, collecting and noticing the world around them.

Think nature scavenger hunts, adventure backpacks, foraging bags, nature dice, wooden compasses, discovery brushes, specimen cubes, nature boards for displaying all those VERY important treasures they bring home… and lots more. 🍄🌼🐞

& yes… we know you probably don't want to hear it yet, but these would make pretty lovely Christmas gifts too..

The new range is in store now. We’re open this morning 9am–12pm 😊

The Crafting Retreat is back!

After the last one, we’re so happy to see another weekend of making, chatting and crafting together coming to Bordertown.

Bring along whatever you’re working on - patchwork, sewing, stitching, crochet, knitting, paper crafts or something completely different - and settle in for a day (or two!) surrounded by other creative people.

Tag your crafty friend who needs a weekend like this!

We’re very excited to have these gorgeous crochet and knitting kits in store.

Each kit gives you a complete project to work on, with the pattern, beautiful cotton yarn and the materials needed to bring your little creation to life. Just grab the required crochet hook or knitting needles and you’re ready to get making.

The designs are SO cute. Here we have Luke the Highlander, George the Giraffe and this tiny Strawberry bag charm.

Such a lovely project to have on the go, a fun way to build your crochet or knitting skills, or a beautiful gift for someone crafty.

Hardicraft crochet & knitting kits are in store now at Calico Cat Co.

A little Saturday fabric inspiration!

This colourful garland has been hanging in the shop for a while now, made by Emma from leftover fabric scraps.

Proof that those little offcuts don’t always need to end up in the bin - sometimes they just need a good idea!

We’re open 9am–12pm today if you’re popping in for a browse.

One of our lovely customers, Helen Till, had the idea of turning vintage doilies into personalised quilt labels. We were so happy to help bring it to life!

Such a beautiful way to give these old pieces a new purpose, while adding something really special to a handmade quilt. We love that each one is completely unique too.

Thank you for letting us share your idea, Helen! We think there might be a few people saving their old doilies after seeing this one 😊

The towel wall is looking VERY colourful at the moment 🌈

We’ve got a lovely range of beach towels, sports towels, baby blankets and the sweetest little hooded towels in store.

And of course, we can make them a little more special with personalised embroidery - add a name for a gorgeous gift or just so everyone knows whose towel is whose 😂

Perfect for new babies, birthdays, swimming lessons or getting organised ready for the warmer weather.

Pop in and have a look, and have a chat with Emma about adding a name 🧵✨

We had a little taste of spring sunshine… and now the weather has other ideas 😂☔️ But those sunny days will be back!

If a new hat is on the list for the warmer months, we’ve got caps available for $30 including embroidery - personalised with a name, logo or something a little bit fun.

Already have a favourite hat? Bring it in and we can embroider that for you too!

For yourself, the kids, your business, sporting club or as a personalised gift... pop in and have a chat with Emma about what you have in mind.
