Blooming lovely florist shop brightens street
Ewa’s Blossom Boutique transforms former second-hand furniture store
A BEAUTIFUL new florist shop has brought a touch of glamour and a dash of colour to a Southsea street.
Ewa Fraczak runs Blossom Boutique – and she has just opened her new shop in Palmerston Road, taking over the former Preloved second-hand household furniture store.
Ewa spent a month renovating the unit with her partner.
They spent lockdown creating a romantic setting for the new florist, turning the Preloved shop into a creation that boasts beauty and elegance.
Ewa said: ‘ We are totally in love with our beautiful new shop and will be forever grateful to all the people involved in this project.
‘The whole carpentry work inside and outside was done by the very talented Rabaund Carpentry and Renovation. With the amazing help of our friends, Blossom Boutique looks wonderful.
‘We hear everyday a lot of comments about the shop and the way we have transformed the look of the building. Thank you so much. It means a lot.’
Ewa, who grew up in Warsaw, Poland, lives in Collingwood Road, Southsea, and spent 14 years working as a florist before setting up her own business Blossom Boutique in Osborne Road in 2017. When her friend and popular Southsea shoe designer, Freya Rose came up with the idea of taking over the Palmerston Road building, Ewa jumped at the chance.
Now, Freya Rose plans to create an office space and a showroom at the back of the boutique, so she can focus on online orders and close her existing shop in Grove Road South. Ewa said: ‘A huge thank you to Freya Rose who wanted to share this beautiful location with us. You will be able to see her fabulous shoes very soon.’
