Helen Livingstone set up Baby 2 Boutique to expand the existing offering and to be part of another initiative she hopes to introduce for mothers groups.
"We've got a little training room and I was going to have some mothers groups in for coffee mornings but because of COVID I cannot do that so I threw the doors open," she said.
"We've got a lot of toys, I tried to buy good quality things.
"I do have some baby clothes but I would live to get more, I have Australian-made baby clothes."
Whiskey time
Jones and Smith Distillery is preparing to bottle its first whiskey in coming weeks.
The family venture made up of Tony and Dorothy Jones, their daughter Kylie and her husband Nick Smith started the distillery four years ago at Spring Hill and currently sell four varieties of gin at shops and venues across Orange.
However, three years ago, Mr Jones started the fermentation process of making a single-malt whiskey that is almost ready for bottling.
Mr Jones said the whiskey is based on a Scotch whisky but because it is Australian made and produced it cannot carry that name.
Mrs Jones said whiskey in Australia must be in barrels for at least two years, and Mr Jones said the current batch has been matured in a former cherry oak barrel and an American bourbon barrel.
However, he hopes to source future barrels from Orange wineries.
Mr Jones said they will also release a brandy made from Orange wine and they plan to open a cellar door in the future.
Helicopter wine tours
Wine lovers are taking to the sky with a luxury winery experience.
Printhie winery, Winery Experiences Orange and Central West Helicopters have united to create the experience which starts with a personal chauffeur collecting guests from their accommodation and driving to the Printhie Cellar Door.
From the cellar door a helicopter will take them on a scenic flight to the Printhie Winery where the winemaker guides them around the winery.
On the return to the cellar door they will participate in a private guided tasting followed by a three course lunch.
