I bought a cute mustard tunic dress and a fun flow floral dress. Unique items made in India. Boho garments and home decor. Awesome sales, 5 dollar rack and 50 percent off items with a pink sticker.

Perched at…read morethe top end of one my favourite Newcastle precincts, Darby Street, Betty Mim is a balanced combination of homewares, women's clothing, stationery (think the kind you'd find on Etsy or at a seasonal Finders Keepers) and other knick-knacks.

I made a mental note to return and earned more motivation upon learning they had 30% off Kip&Co this week. The stock is carefully curated and there's not great quantities of everything. To me, this is part of the charm and wonder of a store that stocks such niche Australian brands. The staff are as warm as the pops of neon colours across the ranges and were only too happy to put a few towels on hold for me til I could make it back to the store. They do sell online as well but why would you when you can grab a coffee from Glee Roasters and stroll down to the physical store and play in a world of homewares heaven?
