Beautifulness at Virgine Batterson's 'French Christmas Market' in Sydney this week.
Gorgeous decorations and kids clothes from Virgine's Mamapapa label

I was just in Sydney for a very fleeting visit (SORRY I realise I should have seen more people and places but it was a whirlwind visit in the end and time flew too quickly!).  I did, however, stumble across more than one fabulous Christmas-inspired retail pop-up... WOW there is some seriously great shopping to be done in Sydney this month!

First on the list is Virgine Batterson's 'French Christmas Market' in Paddington, which opened yesterday and in true pop-up fashion, will be only open for one more day!   Dash in from 9.00am - 7.00pm today and snaffle yourself some beautiful cream / white / beige / lineny / hessiany French gorgeous stuff.   Stunning homewares, Christmas decorations, adults and kids clothes and accessories... all HEAVILY discounted as Virgine is selling most of these at wholesale prices!  You would be crazy to miss it!

(Virgine is a designer, wholesaler and retailer of beautiful French things... I blogged her Darlinghurst shop Manon et Gwenaelle a long time ago. She's AMAZING)

French Christmas Market 1 Hargrave street Paddington Open TODAY only 9.00am - 7.00pm Sorry late notice but I promise you will not be disappointed!
