The Festive Table Workshop with Natasha Morgan at Oak Lane & Co
The Festive Table Workshop with Natasha Morgan at Oak Lane & Co
The art of tablescaping with Natasha Morgan at Oak Lane & Co
In August, Carla and Simon opened the whole of Oak Lane & Co to a small group for The Winter Table, and every antique vessel and length of old linen in the shop became ours to style with for the morning. On Monday 16 November they're opening the doors again, this time for the festive season.
Natasha will arrive with armfuls from the garden. Some of it is the red-stemmed dogwood she cut back from the northern verge at Little Cottage on a Hill in the big spring chop and kept for exactly this, because nothing in her garden goes to waste if she can help it when it’s as beautiful as this. The rest will be whatever the garden and the country lanes around Daylesford are offering in late spring.
For one morning, Oak Lane & Co on Piper Street is your styling library: antique Australian, English and French furniture, old linen, silver, ceramics and glass, all there to handle, choose and arrange. Together, Natasha, Carla and Simon will show you how to build a festive table that feels generous and abundant, and how to make it again at home with what you already have.

About Carla and Simon
O A K L A N E & Co. showcases beautifully handcrafted antique Australian, English and French furniture and decorative objects, homewares and quality newly-made goods for your home.
Established in 2018 by Carla and Simon, O A K L A N E & Co. was created as a means of articulating shared lifelong interest and passion for architecture, gardens, interiors, antiques and vintage, music and the arts, as well as travel. These passions come together abundantly in both our stores on Piper Street in Kyneton in Central Victoria through the gathering and styling of hand-picked pieces for your home.
Through working on the restoration of heritage houses and gardens, the concept of designing a sustainable lifestyle, based around creating timeless and convivial spaces complemented by antique furniture, homewares and books became cemented in the creation and sharing of an inspiring, immersive and relaxed retail space for others to enjoy.
We believe that the age-related characteristics and patina of an item are a unique and irreplaceable part of its distinctive story. These features, combined with the overall quality and functional condition are what bring an element of layered individuality and timeless style to your home. To this end, we encourage you to enjoy the in-store experience; to handle and hold; and to fully imagine how it can be incorporated into your own home.
We look forward to welcoming you!
