Today, a dream of ours has come to fruition. Our retail shop at 21 Albion Street, Waverley is now open for business. And what a ride it's been. We have already been overcome with best wishes and lovely feedback from local business owners, local residents and our followers and friends on Instagram and Facebook. And are really looking forward to meeting new people in the shop who share a like minded appreciation for our taste in beautiful homewares.
Big news this week, friends. Milly and Eugene will soon be opening the doors of our new store in the eastern suburbs of Sydney. The online side of our business will remain the same but for those who live in Sydney, you will soon be able to come visit us and see, touch and feel for yourselves the wonderful things you see on our website store.
To all yogis and yoginis,
I walk into the still dark room, adorned with burning incense and tee-light candles flickering from tiny nooks in the walls. There are a few bodies on mats scattered around the room, relaxed in resting poses. I collect my mat and head over to my favourite corner near the open window. The early autumn air drifts in. Standing there I notice the dimmed lights along the promenade and the early morning joggers, pounding the pavement below.
Marhaban!!! Or g'day in Arabic.
Today it's all about Kilim rugs. These are our latest offerings from Turkey and they are simply beautiful. These kilims are tapestry-woven and made completely from wool using natural dyes. The colours are rich and vibrant and the patterns consist of large geometric shapes, triangles and zig-zags.
There's a lot that goes on behind the scenes at Milly and Eugene. I've talked earlier about our buying trips but it's what happens after we have put our orders in that it gets interesting and well, also really frustrating at times. The post-ordering period can be bittersweet. We are both excited with anticipation to see our products safe on our shores and then downcast and disappointed with complications in the shipment of our precious cargo
