Oh JoJo Boutique

The Soul Nook Collective also operates as an event space and you can opt for a styled picnic in a bell tent or even hire the church itself for a wedding. Follow the Facebook page for upcoming public events such as Pre-Loved Markets and the Women’s Wellness Festival. But your shopping visit to Marburg won’t be complete until you’ve checked out nearby ScotlandYard Antiques , The Black Museum antiques shops and Special Branch Collective , a garden shop/cafe that is also completely gorgeous. Make a day of it with lunch across the road at the Marburg Hotel . Back in the big smoke of Ipswich Central, head to Brisbane Street in the Top of Town precinct for specialty shops that will surprise you. Obsession Shoes is a jam-packed den of delights that has a very loyal following who flow in with the change of seasons and stock up on hard- to-find brands sourced from around the globe. Pop next door to the equally impressively stocked Oh JoJo Boutique to complete your look. Both shops are owner operated so the care factor is on show the minute you walk through the door. Wander along to The Old Flour Mill for a look in The Soul Cauldron where owners Paul

and Marina Knox love a chat about all things spiritual. Paul has also recently published a book simply titled Energy . Upstairs in this historic landmark, Embers & Twine is yet another example of a completely charming and original offering, stocked with handmade candles and homewares, jewellery and fashion in a modern architectural addition that contrasts brilliantly with the historic brick of the old mill where once upon a time flour was dispatched to Brisbane. There’s plenty more to explore in this stretch as well as cafes so allow time to explore. Antique lovers will enjoy The Vintage Advantage (also in Top of Town) and Ipswich Antique Centre . And if it’s plants your heart and home desires then head to Trevallan Lifestyle Centre where owner Chelsea lets her green- thumbed talents run wild in a flourishing nursery that displays an incredible variety of rare and unusual plants. You’ll find lots of handy garden supplies here, heirloom seeds and a range of giftware plus there’s a caravan set up as a cafe amidst all this jungle-y goodness.
