Flower Mee - a great little shop

Isn't it great when you find a little gem of shop........Flower Mee on Durrant St, Brighton is just a find. I had driven past Kathryn Weichmann's florist/lifestyle shop almost everyday and had on many occaisions thought I must stop and check it out! Well whilst on the hunt for props for this week's Magnolia square - we did stop and were amazed at the gorgeous things Kathryn has on sale. Vintage furniture and curios stand beside her beautiful flower arrangements, christmas decorations and gifts. She definitley has a great eye and I know we will be back for a visit again and again!
