Spring is the time of year we see the flowers bloom, the sun come out, and the cold weather slowly disappear. It also signifies the beginning of the racing season. Rather than leave it last minute, why not start planning your outfit and headpiece now? And how about a unique, handmade fascinator to make you stand out from the crowd?

Now working out of a beautiful studio in their home, Vintage Chic Boutique creative designers, Lyndelle Ackland and Rita Green create gorgeous, high-quality handbags, purses, headpieces and bags for any occasions or use. Whatever the occasion, these handmade, unique pieces will definitely steal the show.

The lovely ladies behind Vintage Chic Boutique also host Creative Retreats in Bonnie Doon. Open for all ages and running a couple of times a year, these weekends are designed to allow you to relax and create whilst also making friends along the way. Whether you enjoy paper crafts, sewing, patchwork, embroidery, or any type of creative medium, this weekend away is perfect to escape day-to-day life and focus on art.

Vintage Chic Boutique is open Wednesday and Thursday from 9:30am to 5:30pm, or by appointment. Visit their beautiful home studio at 8 Janet Court, Grahamvale, or call 0415 815 770 to book an appointment or for more information on the creative retreats.
