Until about a month ago I never knew this store existed. It's been in Ely for a little while now. I…read morestopped in here with some coworkers on a Friday afternoon. Really to just browse, but I did leave with a few Christmas gifts. Very nice boutique. Well-curated with fun things from clothing and accessories to cute hostess gifts, some home decor and kitchen items. Unique things like the cactus shaped earrings and IPA beer scented soap I picked up. Prices are moderate; not any more or less than you might see at a mall. Recommend if you're in the area!

Very neat little boutique in the heart of Ely which opened in May 2016…read more On a moonlight bike ride from Cedar Rapids we noticed the lights were on in this little shop across the street from the local bar. The gentleman owner was keeping the store open after hours when he saw the large group of bike riders milling about at Odie's. Well, that garnered him at least two sales. Many small stores in small towns such as Ely look the part of someone just trying to follow their dream, with little preparation and know-how, but this shop is different. It is well decorated, with careful thought as to how merchandise should be displayed. It is not a bare bones, quickly thrown together place, ala those that are just open for the Christmas season. You know the type. They have a nice selection of clothes geared to Hawkeye fans, Cyclone fans, and bike riders as well. The clothes for cyclists are not biking clothes, rather normal shirts, etc with a cycling motif. They also had merchandise very suitable for baby showers. We made a return trip two days later to pick up a U of I jacket that my wife liked, and the woman on duty was very nice. All in all, a very nice addition to Ely.

It's a darling shop, located in the up and coming area of Uptown Marion. You can head into this shop at any time and feel welcome, and get excited about the fun styles that constantly fill the racks.

I try to keep an eye on their social media, too, because they are always posting new items and upcoming events. Love this place!

May or may not have bought a couple ! The reason for the four star review, the sales staff wasn't the most friendly. I always feel like if you don't look like you gobs tons of money they treat you so-so. Just my two cents, and not all the employees are minded like that.

The owner is always helpful and asks if you would like complimentary coffee or wine while shopping. They also always have some sort of deal/special going on which is great. The only problem I have with this boutique is they do not really have very many clothing choices for individuals that are petite and of smaller body frame. I have this difficulty with many boutiques, but it would be nice to see a boutique offer petite sizes as it is frustrating to go shopping and everything is too long or wide.

The store had a wide variety of everything: art, home furnishings, clothing for men and women, some vintage pieces, jewelry, and accessories. There were also books, and lots of things to explore and examine! We found several items that we needed/wanted and the quality of the merchandise was much higher than we would typically find at a Goodwill or other type of shop. In addition she takes card payment through Square and shoppers can use Visa, American Express, Mastercard at the shop! We also had the opportunity to meet Mary, the owner and proprietress of this minority-owned (female/African American) small business. Mary answered all our questions and allowed us to browse without interfering in our shopping experience but was mindful and observant of the things that we were looking for. She unobtrusively offered valuable suggestions when asked if certain items were in-stock and knowledgably directed us to the things she had that we wanted. When we spoke with Mary, she said she has been in the mall for about a year and would love to welcome you to visit her and see what she has to offer. She takes quality consignments as well. We give this location 5 X 5 Stars and will 100% be visiting the next time we are at the Mall. We invite everyone to stop by and say that Kate and Blair sent you!
