The group offers shopping experiences in aged care homes across the Northern Rivers region, where residents can model pre-loved clothing she sells and even help create their own pieces.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We also bring along a polaroid camera and red carpet runways to showcase clothes,&#8221; Willow said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30038\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30038\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-30038 \" src=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2026\/01\/MaiaWillowfromOurTim_73076.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"651\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30038\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Maia Willow from Our Timeless Threads.

Stepping back from a purely clinical focus to nurture the overall needs of residents feels genuinely aligned with the nurse I aspire to be. We are more than our diagnoses \u2014 when we focus on joy, creativity and connection, our inner child shines through.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Our Timeless Threads won the Peace, Love &amp; Mungbeans: Outstanding Community Organisation at the 2025 Uniquely Byron Business Awards.<\/p>\n<p>Willow has also opened a community hub, The OTT Shop, on Acacia St in Byron Bay, where she sells second hand clothing and runs workshops and creative planning sessions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We also host aged care tea parties, so residents have somewhere in the community to stop, sip and shop on their community bus trips,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30038\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30038\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-30038 \" src=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2026\/01\/KenandFrancesWallerw_76290.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"616\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30038\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">LEFT: Ken and Frances Waller wearing Our Timeless Threads.

Something our society is lacking is a third space, and I hope our hearty little shop can create a feeling of belonging for our community.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Willow believes an admission into aged care is a crucial moment \u2014 a time for nurses to reconnect seniors with their essence and identity.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A diagnosis or sudden life change can overshadow their stories,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I&#8217;ve seen the power of music and fashion to awaken those memories. For instance, when I had to wear my Doc Martens to work after finally wearing out my Skechers, a resident recalled fond moments associated with the shoes. It sparked a meaningful conversation around fashion and music that allowed me to incorporate his favourite music into his care plan, enhancing his connection to happier times while I was providing end of life care.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30038\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30038\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-30038 \" src=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2026\/01\/MaiaWillowfromOurTim_78022.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"478\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30038\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Maia Willow at a Connecting Generations Bangalow event.
