For twenty-five years I was a primary school teacher. Every school holiday, my husband Peter and I drove to Kings Beach, and every time that ocean air hit, something in me exhaled.

Eight years ago, a boutique became available here on the Sunshine Coast. My husband Peter looked at me across the kitchen table and didn't say a word. He didn't have to.

I handed in my notice. We moved. And that same year, I opened the door to Margaret's Kings Beach for the very first time.

Now I'm sixty-seven, and it's time to retire.

Not because something went wrong.

Because something went beautifully right, and I'm wise enough to know when a story has reached its ending.

This is my retirement sale. Every piece I ever chose for this boutique was chosen with one woman in mind — the real one, not the one on the hanger. That hasn't changed.

Everything must go, at the lowest prices I've ever offered.

Find something that makes you stop. Trust that feeling. I built this place around exactly that moment.

With love,

Margaret Palmer
