It's a handmade Christmas at Gaslight!

Gorgeous handmade Christmas ideas now in store at Gaslight. It's all about re-purposing old books and fabrics this year and they look fabulous in their new forms.

Open Gardens this weekend

It's the annual Open Garden weekend in Burra this weekend and it looks as if the weather will be perfect. There are lots of beautiful gardens to visit in and around the town, so take the opportunity to get out and see the work of our hard working gardeners. You can pick up a full list of the open gardens from the Burra Visitor Centre.

A visit from the Governor

Gaslight was very pleased to welcome the Governor, Rear Admiral Kevin Scarce, ("Call me Kevin"), and his charming wife Liz, as part of their recent visit to Burra earlier this month.  It was a pleasure to have them visit our shop and spend some time in our town.
