I recently went to the new Earthborn store at Kawana Shoppingworld and I was really surprised by the quality of the products, service and all-round hospitality of the store. I was told that they'd recently moved to a larger store from a smaller one within the Kawana Shoppingworld centre.

The store is heavenly scented with candles, diffusers and wax melts and the music really appealed to me. I was served by a lovely young lady and then followed up by a lady who I believe was the owner, Karen. Gorgeous people!

I purchased a set of two lovely nautical-styled lamps. They looked very on-trend, but that didn't really bother me - I just loved them! Karen was so gracious, she even threw in a little goody for me. Plus, they were having a 20% off sale storewide - so I got a bargain! Otherwise, I think everything was pretty reasonably priced. I nearly purchased these beautiful linen kaftan (I think that's what they're called) shirts but decided I'd wait until the next time I was up.

I've seen the other Earthborn stores in the city, but I loved how inviting, friendly and well-stocked this particular store was. Next time I'm on the Sunshine Coast, I'll definitely be going back.

Such a long review, but I honestly loved every minute of my experience there! I'm following them on Instagram now and getting interior design envy!
