Welcome to Thousand Island Dressing!

Jen Crosbie Thousand Island Dressing Paddington

I’m Jen Crosbie, and I’m beyond excited to be the owner of this beloved Paddington gem. I’m passionate about continuing the legacy of this vibrant space, where accessories take centre stage, and art and homewares create the perfect backdrop for our stunning jewellery collection. As a proud destination for all things shiny and unique, I’m dedicated to offering a curated selection that truly reflects the wonderful community we have here.

With over 60 earring and brooch makers—many from right here in Brisbane—our store is more than just a shop. It’s a space brimming with colour, creativity, and individuality. I’m here to cater to all your accessory needs, whether you’re on the hunt for a special gift or treating yourself to something unique. From the boldest statement pieces to the most elegant, simple designs, there’s something for everyone. I can’t wait to meet all of you, especially those who’ve shopped here since you were young and are now introducing your little ones to the magic of earrings.

The transition into owning Thousand Island Dressing has been an incredible and heartfelt journey. I’m deeply grateful for the foundation laid by Leanne and the conversations we had about the future of the shop. Together, we envisioned how to honour the rich history of this place while embracing fresh ideas. I’m so excited to continue supporting the amazing artists across the country, especially our local Brisbane creatives, and to make sure Thousand Island Dressing remains a place that feels like home for all of you.

I can’t contain my excitement about the incredible jewellery, homewares, art, and gifts we carry. A close friend once said, “It’s so nice to see you get excited when someone finds the perfect gift,” and in that moment, I realised just how much joy it brings me when someone discovers that special piece—whether it’s bold earrings, a beautiful home accent, or a unique artwork. I truly believe that the right item can make someone's day or be the perfect touch for their space. I'm so grateful to all the talented makers who make Thousand Island Dressing a place where you can always find something special, whether for yourself or a loved one.

With love and bling,
Jen xx
