Next time you’re driving through Aratula look out for the newest addition to the bustling retail strip.
Homespun is a gorgeous haven of hand-made and home-crafted goodies.
The trio behind the business – Justine Cadena, Angela Pfeffer and Tanya Irving – are all talented craftspeople.
The girls, who call themselves Team H, opened their shop in December and have been busy ever since.
It’s now a popular stop-off point for visitors travelling down the Cunningham Highway.
Justine estimates that 90 per cent of their trade is from passing traffic and they’re now receiving a lot of repeat business.

Celebration of all that is local
Thursday, June 21st, 2012
The FEAST producers’ dinner on Saturday June 30 will be a true celebration of the Scenic Rim community.
The banquet-style menu will feature ingredients sourced from producers across the Scenic Rim and cooked by local caterer Kate Raymont.
The walls of the Aratula Community Centre will be adorned with artwork created by the students at the Aratula Primary School.
The tables will be decorated with fresh local produce, artistically-arranged by the Justine, Angela and Tanya from Homespun at Aratula.
And guests will be entertained by eight Scenic Rim musicians.
State Minister for Agriculture, the honourable John McVeigh, will attend the dinner, as will Queensland’s Food Fellow, Alison Alexander.
Scenic Rim Mayor John Brent says when the Council’s Economic Development team first started planning the FEAST dinner they were keen to make it a truly local affair and showcase the diverse range of produce and talent available in the region.
