I'm going to kind of double up on this review. Harvest Creek and Pine Creek Ltd pretty much sit…read moreright on top of one another. They are "creeks" separated by a wall but they both have a very similar feel. So similar in fact that I asked my girlfriend... "Do you think these shops might have the same owner?" The atmosphere is low lit and cozy and the collection of merchandise is eclectic. Definitely not something that you run into every day... I'm not sure how to describe the merchandise. Pine Creek offers some seasonal and smaller home furnishing. More leaning to home good. And some items on Harvest Creek you don't necessarily think of when you think Iowa. Some border what you think of when you think wiccan or occult (not in a bad way though)... If I had to guess the owners have their own personal tastes and interests and they stock the shops to align with what they like and hope the market finds them. We really enjoyed looking through both of these little shops and they are ones I would encourage anyone coming through the Winterset area to stop and check out both Harvest Creek and Pine Creek Ltd!

I was first introduced to boutique shopping in 2014, by my aunts and my cousin. I've been hooked…read moreever since. When I stepped into Lula Belle, a few years back, I was so impressed! The shop itself is beautifully decorated, but it was the "homey" feeling that made it so special. Kamie was so welcoming and warm. The boutique has an incredible selection in a quaint, comfortable space. High end, excellent quality apparel at fair prices. I, nearly exclusively, shop Lula Belle. Kamie makes my shopping experiences so personal. Even living 1400 miles away, she packages all my treasures with TLC. (And the clothing smells amazing! It's an extra special touch she makes.). She thinks of every detail! Kamie is not only an awesome small business owner, she is a huge community supporter. From youth activities to non profit fundraising to promoting other local businesses, her giving is beyond generous. I love being a Lula Girl!

We walked in to By Design with a set of plans for our new house and some pictures of furniture we…read moreliked. What Laura and Bonita did to furnish our empty space was amazing. Great room, office, bedroom, family room. They created a full plan, we made one or two very minor adjustments, and now we are living in our dream house with furnishings and rugs that perfectly complement the modern vibe. And the price was right! I recommend By Design to everyone I know who might be thinking about furnishings and area rugs. The products are great quality, and the designers are top notch and super nice. One piece or a houseful - they will take care of you.

They used to be a lot more customer friendly. I will never go back there and advise anyone not to go either.
