A memorial to the wonder and joy of a shared youth.
This joyful range of necklaces feature some of our favourite childhood toys… cowboys and indians are back.
Will your necklace behold a red, yellow, blue or green? Whether yours is a gun toting cowboy or a headdress-wearing indian, these inexpensive articles just scream FUN.
Maybe you weren’t a fan of the plastic figurine. How are you to excite your neck-area then?
Well this delicious brand has something for everyone and you can spice yourself up with a nice chess piece on the end of you necklace. Or why not scrabble? Or dominos? The possibilities are mind-boggling…
Feed your fashion hunger for just $30 with these tastey morsels.
So come on in to Pigeonhole and have a feast from the lovely people at PEAS CORN and TOMATO SAUCE.
Love is lovely jewellery.
This range of wooden, acrylic or anodised aluminium jewellery by Melbourne designer, Geneine Honey, comes in shapes that hark back to the innocence and romance of childhood’s imaginary worlds.
Gaining inspiration from her own sketches, Honey expresses the perfect simplicity of youth and the endearing quality it posseses with every piece.
When worn, each beautifully handcrafted design creates a unique outfit and will encourage the imagination to blossom.
Get back to that place you went to as a child.
Forget your grown-up complications and get happy. Get joyful.
Get LOVE.
xx
Attention Lomo lovers!
Pigeonhole is holding a Lomography exhibition in early November and wants to exhibit YOUR work!
We want to see how you used your lomo and give you the opportunity to display your photos to the world. Photos from any lomo camera will be considered: holga, diana, LCA, fisheye, colorsplash, actionsampler etc.
Due to the short timeline, can you please email your expression of interest to info@pigeonhole.com.au by October 5 for more details and final photos by October 19.

Commission will be paid on works sold and there will be prizes given out during the exhibit.
Johann & Pierre

Meet Kyle. He’s sits about 10″ tall, enjoys eating spinach and loves listening to radiohead. he’s a melancholic with a twist of choleric. Don’t be fooled, he may be shy when you first meet him… but he’s a riot on your second date!
kyle is just one of a gorgeous set of limited edition hand-made plushies by local lassie Kate Greenaway. we love these hand stitched bundles of love that come big enough to cuddle or small enough to pin to your cardi or pop in your pocket! and at $20-$25 each you won’t be able to stop yourself! don’t be fooled these cuddly critters may not have mouths but they all have a heck of a lot to say!
little miss greenaway names each creature herself and is adamant that they go to loving and caring homes or they are bound to pack up their napsacks and run away!
ps: these are big kids’ toys - not designed for hungry babies!
All righty then you cheeky muffins,
For all those that crave a delicious, sweet snack, we present to you: “CAKIEPOP-thursday” by bobby the baker! Each Thursday, bobby the baker (the latest addition to the Pigeonhole family) will be bringing you a box full of delightfully home-baked treats made with his own top-secret recipe.
What’s a cakie-pop? well you’d better come in and see! We’re talking deliciously moist cake, coated in creamy milk or white chocolate and topped off with a splattering of 100s and 1000s or crunchy cachous (shiny sprinkles). Oh… and we almost forgot to mention - it comes on a stick! mm mmm!!!
There will only be 24 of these tastey cakiepops available each thursday in 4 tantilising flavours so you’d better hop, skip and jump into pigeonhole first thing on thursday to get your mits on one because at $3 a pop these home-baked babies will be flying out the door!
ollie the money-owl is hungry for your $3 contribution!
CAKIEPOP-thursday: brought to you by bobby the baker.
Ever wondered where all those quirky things in Pigeonhole actually come from?
Well, we spend countless hours scouring the far corners of the world-wide-web and then travelling to obscure locations around the globe to find you the best in quirky products and clothes that the world has to offer! Many items are hand-picked whilst fossicking through the wholesale design markets at 2am in the morning or after many weeks of emails and phonecalls to far off scandinavian lands!
It’s not all as glamorous as it seems. Try working the jewellery markets from 8am til 5pm, then raiding the wholesale clothing design markets from 10pm to 6am whilst lugging two 15kg bags through a crowded city before having to unpack every single item in front of customs officers who have decided to cut open your suspicious-looking leather elephant bookend (coming soon) and then being the last person to leave the airport at 3am having not slept in over 48 hours! hahaha!
[above: night shopping in hongkong! what’s in the bags? come in on tuesday to find out!]
Remember from now on TUESDAYS are our FRESH PRODUCE DAY - where new goods will mysteriously appear on the shelves of pigeonhole, so get in quick to nab something special. Most items are hard to replace so first in best dressed!
