When I first looked through the window of Poppy's Boutique I thought, "Surely you'd never sell clothes like this in Mitchell." I was wrong! For the women of this small outback community, getting "frocked up" seems a sport. Any occasion -- large or small -- is an excuse for stepping into something slinky and fashionable. Katrina Henry (who's owned the boutique for three years) lives on a property close to Mitchell, knows her customers well, and has a flair for fashion and style. The perfect outfit for every woman for every occasion is there at Poppy's, along with all the accessories. Consequently, a shopping expedition to Brisbane is seldom necessary.
This afternoon a wedding took place at the Mitchell Anglican Church uniting two families who own properties north and east of Mitchell. This was a wonderful opportunity to "frock up", with many of the outfits purchased from Poppy's Boutique. What with Tina's hairstyles and Poppy's outfits, the women of Mitchell and district (from the very young to the elderly) looked one million dollars!
