Belle Fleur Store Pop-Up Shop



Yesterday was my very first Belle Fleur Store Pop-Up Shop. For a long time, I have been hoping to open a gifts and homewares store, however, it wasn't until our travels through the UK last year that we came across the concept of Pop-Up shops, a shop that sets up for a short time, that I realised that this may be the way I could turn my dream into a reality without giving up my wonderful job.

So, I hired the community hall on the corner of Hume Street and Perth Street, Toowoomba, Queensland for the day and Belle Fleur Store had its debut. It was a wonderful day and all my beautiful friends came along and supported me. With the help of my Mum, my husband and some dear friends, we had a bustling little shop.

We sold potted herbs, bunches of herbs, William Morris tea-towels, stationery, magnets, mirrors and cards, pretty floral bags, Burgon and Ball gardening gloves and tools, desk accessories and jewellery.

I am hoping to run Belle Fleur Store Pop-Up Shop on the first Saturday of each month.
