Shop Handmade: Handmade Heaven

Liesa of Handmade Heaven joins us today for the BrisStyle Shop Handmade series.

Handmade Heaven is a funky little boutique which is located downstairs in the Old Flour Mill, Brisbane Street, Ipswich.

Full to the brim of handmade gifts and goodies all made by local and interstate artists/designers/makers/crafters.


With 70+ "handmadies" involved you are bound to find something wonderful and unique.
From handbags to brooches, from homewares to kids clothing/accessories, from candles to manchester and softies to greeting cards. There is just so much variety in store.

The Old Flour Mill is a little hidden away, but the perfect setting for this unique shop.

Open 6 days a week, it's perfect for that handmade fix in between the monthly Handmade Expo.

Chelley Bean Designs

"I have always been around handmade...Mum (aka Bubba Chenille) has always been crafty so it is in our blood. Me, no...it skipped a generation, but the passion for handmade, promoting and selling on "handmadies" behalf is perfect. There is definitely a niche for this in Ipswich and South East Queensland. Everyone seems to be embracing it."


Handmade Heaven proudly stocks the wares of BrisStylers Bubba Chenille, Vintage Visions, Sybella Boutique, Cute as Buttons, Sandra Darling, Enticing Icing, Chelley Bean Designs and Kitty Boo Boo.

Shop Handmade: Nook

We're very excited to feature Nook in the BrisStyle Shop Handmade series. Nook is a gorgeous little shop in West End run by Pedrosprout's Michelle Gillies.


"I opened Nook in August of '09. The previous year I had spent making and selling my own creations under the label Pedrosprout. I was feeling frustrated at the time with the lack of Brisbane shops that were stocking handmade goods. I was lucky that with the support & help of friends and family I was able to start my own little handmade shop, Nook in West End. We've been open for nearly a year now and the assortment of handmade goodies is growing daily."


While you're there keep an eye out for fabulous wares from BrisStylers Edward and Lilly, Jetta's Nest, Moose & Bird, Wicked Child Designs, Hot Toffee, Chi Designs, Find Hers Keep Hers, Red Seed Studio and Nosovich.


Nook: 19 Browning St, West End.
