Vibrant and joyful



Cicely is a vibrant destination filled with a colourful collection of apparel, homewares, gifts, and art. The store is owned by local creative Lani Waterson, best known for building the boutique party brand Poppies For Grace over the past 20 years. With Cicely, Lani brings her enduring love of colour and creativity into a new chapter.

“I’ve filled Cicely with pieces that light me up with joy,” Lani shares. “My hope is that this store becomes a place of joy for everyone who walks through the doors.”

The name Cicely is a heartfelt tribute to Lani’s Nana. A true adventurer, Cicely travelled the world, created art, planted gardens, and lived a wonderfully joyful life. She was famous in the family for making the worst biscuits but the best sandwiches—a reminder that joy is found in the little things.

Through this boutique, Lani honours her Nana’s spirit, curating a space that celebrates beauty, creativity, and joy in everyday living.
