At My Country Escape, shopping is more than a transaction. It’s a feeling. Calm. Intentional. Personal.

Tucked away in Canungra, in the Scenic Rim, our boutique brings together timeless homewares, relaxed fashion and thoughtful gifts. Every piece is handpicked. Always with quality, design and purpose in mind.

Now, we’re sharing the story behind the shelves.

Meet Michelle, Our Founder

In a new Instagram reel series, Michelle shares her journey. From building My Country Escape to creating a store where women feel supported, valued and inspired.

“Creating a space where people feel seen, relaxed and inspired has always been the goal. That feeling when someone walks in, takes a deep breath and instantly feels at home is what we aim for every day.”
— Michelle

Michelle leads with warmth and intention. She’s hands-on, detail-focused and passionate about creating a space where both staff and customers thrive.
