Welcome to Four Hearts

Hi and welcome to the new Four Hearts Blog site. For those of you who don't know Four Hearts yet it is a small but delicious gallery style store in the heart of Paddington, Brisabne, Australia.We are one of the new kids on the block and myself and the wonderful women that work for me at Four Hearts are working hard to bring together an eclectic but functional array of well designed gifts, fashion and homewares to inspire and enchant you.

We all know that having "stuff" is not what it's all cracked up to be. While there is nothing like feeling like Julia Roberts in "Pretty Woman" where she spends a day being pampered and treated like one of the rich and famous, we also know that having for the sake of having sometimes makes you feel a little empty.

I've tried to create something different at Four Hearts. A sacred space where you can come and browse,escape from the outside world for a brief time and leave feeling recharged and re-energised and hopefully find something magical instore for yourself or someone you love.

Who am I ? My name is Debbie thomas and I am married to a wonderful man and have two teenage girls,Laura (almost 17) and Imogen (15 years). I never set out to own my own gift store. I had spent about 14 years raising my children and doing bits and bobs from home.I needed time out and went and asked at a couple of local stores for some school hours work. I was happy doing that but as time went by the idea of owning and creating my own store seemed to evolve and as my self confidence grew Four Hearts became a real manifestation.

Don't worry this blog is not all about Four Hearts and what you can buy.Like I said I am setting out to create a more textured and rounded experience. You can expect many things from this blog.We'll be doing reviews on books,recipes,music and travel so stay tuned and watch this space.

X Debbie.
