New boutique making mark

By Libby Wood
AN EXCLUSIVE boutique, ‘run by women, for women’ is making its mark in Olinda.
Beautiful Treasures and Magic Masseuse is bursting with jewellery, unique one-off hand crafted handbags, recycled and retro clothing, Fairtrade silks and silverware from Cambodia as well as meditation CDs from Inner Alchemy.
A small massage clinic is also on the premises which offers remedial, relaxation, deep or soft tissue massage that can be enhanced by aromatherapy.
A great place to find that special gift, Beautiful Treasures also displays stunning hand woven silk textiles, bags, scarves and raw silk pillowcases.
Browse the brilliant local art including paintings and sculptures or discover wall hangings, children’s knitwear, Australian made soaps and hand crafted felt scarves and shawls.
“Beautiful Treasures is overflowing with locally made art, jewellery, clothing and gifts,” said proprietor Paula Bye who is delighted with the success and growth of her business after opening six months ago.
“The jewellery is extraordinary with costs ranging from $1 to $800 and something for everyone.”
Paula is keen to hear from local artists, jewellers and designers who are interested in selling their wares at the shop.
Beautiful Treasures and Magic Masseuse is at Shop 7, 47 Olinda Monbulk Road, Olinda, and is open 11.30am to 5pm daily. Phone 9751 0788.
