A Wander Around The Evandale Village Store

Today, Mic and I went for a day out, and found ourselves in the beautiful, historic town of Evandale. I had been wanting to go out there for a while now because of this store – The Villiage Store, and it did not disappoint!

This gorgeous, National Heritage Register listed store is still fitted out how it was built in 1843. The shelves, counters, everything…original. It’s perfection. This stunning store is owned by the amazing Carolyn Imalch who owns Est Australia…you probably know of her amazing hand rolled soaps that make any of her stockists stores smell divine!

It was like stepping back in time- beautiful, natural cleaning products, cloths and tools, natural fibres in clothing and decor, kitchen pieces all with a beautiful form and function, local jams and preserves and so, so much more. Carolyn has kept the traditional function of The Village Store, and sells sweets that I remember buying from the jar as a child, newspapers, magazines, Tasmanian ice cream, and you can even get a coffee in there!

The whole store is laid out so well on beautiful old dressers and tables. I honestly could have fossicked through the curated pieces for hours…but Mic was waiting 😂. This very old child’s bowling game in it’s beautiful wooden box caught my eye while we were there as well as an amazingly big wicker basket that you could have fit a few people in! I thought it would be perfect for firewood.

It was the perfect day for it, we finally got some rain…not a lot, but it was still so nice to see. We had lunch and just wandered through antique stores and the like. It was lovely.

One thing is for sure though, I’m definitely coming back to The Village Store very soon!
