We also have our own line of custom wood signs, scarves, wreaths, wine luminaries and Family Established Signs.

__What was the inspiration for your business?__

The inspiration came from my own line of custom handmade items. I wanted a boutique that would carry quality handmade and unique gifts. I was selling online and in other stores and wanted to have a store that catered to my customers' needs. I also love local handmade items and wanted a store that reflected that.

__How long have you been in business?__

I just opened in August 2012.
