Santai is a little store tucked away behind Pie in the Sky on Mount Dandenong Tourist Road in…read moreOlinda. It is rustically decorated with wooden floors, tables, wall and roof. They sell mainly clothes although they have a decent amount of little accessories like bags, jewellery and gloves. My favourite items were the knitted mittens and some colourful hippie-style pants they had hanging on a rack in the corner. The store is well laid out with a round table in the middle and shelves and tables lining the walls of the square building. When I went in, the only staff member was busy with a whole family who had wondered in and was showing them some products they appeared interested in. The staff member didn't acknowledge me, I assume out of her respect for the customers she was currently serving. This wasn't a problem as the store was quite small and it was easy to see if something you were looking for might have been there. The store is open from Friday to Sunday. On Fridays it is open 11-5 and on the weekend it is open from 10-5.

As well as what look to be handmade necklaces and earrings, there is also a wide selection of natural stones and crystals that are absolutely gorgeous. They have some that would look great as ornaments and others that have a little loop attached so that they could be hung on a chain for a necklace or bracelet. The shop itself is quite small but there are a lot of great pieces in there. I really liked the range of necklaces as there was a wide variety in both design and price. The staff her are also very helpful and happy to help or let you browse - they are not pushy in any way.

I'm full to bursting with Dad jokes like that one....and I know they are terrible but apart of me just likes them). There are grandfather clocks, cuckoo clocks, pocket watches and wristwatches. All of them have an antique/vintage feel and you sure as hell won't be finding any prada or chanel tickers in here. Phil is really nice and he runs the shop with Trish. They are both super helpful and when it comes to clocks and watches they really know their stuff. Prices in here can stretch pretty high but the products are beautiful and most are collectors items that would be a real stand out in your home. I love coming and just admiring all the stock. My favourites are the gold pocket watches as I always wander who owned them previously. They seem to carry so much history and are just gorgeous.
