The staff member I encountered was both gracious and courteous. They carry a wide range of merchandise with no particular rhyme or reason, but it all flows, seamlessly. I loved the energy and vibe of the store. There is street parking on either side of the street. I purchased a tshirt on this visit and declared I'd be back to look around and shop again. Perhaps the most notable thing about the boutique store, there is a food pantry donation center located just outside the front entrance. Stop in, if you can, and bring a canned good or 2 if you can spare it.

Fancy & Staple has cards for every occasion. For those who love plants, this store also has plenty of great options from air plants to succulents. For those with little kids, this shop also has a fun section of kids toys and clothes. It's also perfect for those looking for a gift for a little one. I picked up some stickers for my niece during my visit. It's obvious the owner of this shop has taken great care to curate fun pieces for her clientele.

Extremely cute boutique, new to downtown. It is located next to The Golden in the Ash Building. The…read moreset up is cute with several tables with a certain design for the goods. Example: there is an area dedicated to baby clothes, accessories, etc., a table with ties and such for the man in your life (great for Father's Day!) There is a selection of clothes as well. All the pieces and brands are unique and not similar to your everyday find. I could easily buy out the whole store...if I had unlimited funds. Prices are a little pricey - but hey that's expected in boutiques. High quality comes with a price. I highly recommend The Find when looking for a cool gift or an outfit that won't be repeated!

I love The Find. I'm surprised I haven't written a review about it before. This is my go to shop…read morefor finding gifts for my nieces. The Find has a nice selection of baby and children's clothes. There are buckets of Jellycat stuff toys and lots of books and toys. The Find doesn't just cater to children; this place has something for everyone. There is usually a nice candles, jewelry, women's clothes, and mugs. I also like their selection of notebooks and pens. They have also had some really cute and functional face masks here during the height of the pandemic. I purchased a couple COIN 1804 masks from them and those turned out to be my favorite ones. The Find also stocks some Fort Wayne themed items like magnets that say "Fort Wayne: It's not that bad," and postcards with drawings of downtown. Regardless of the reason I visit The Find, I usually also end up purchasing greeting cards here too. They have some cute ones for every occasion.

I just wanted a soda. Marketplace has a lot of souvenirs and travel items for sale if you need them. If it is too early in the morning, there is no one at the shop and you need to pay for the item at the coffee shop next door. A solid option if you need a last minute gift in Fort Wayne International Airport or need a snack.

I love this place. Located at Jefferson Point, the Good Market is a new store from Vera Bradley. It…read morenot only sells some of her stuff, but also includes lots of other brands that have a shared purpose. I was so excited to see that this store has a little bit for everyone. Looking for home decor like candles and blankets? The Good Market has you covered. Need to purchase a gift for a child? Plenty of books, stuff animals, and more. Are you a dog mom who can't resist purchasing something for your pet? There are leases and collars available in bright patterns. I was so excited to recognize some of the brands in this shop. I love Sea Bags. I interviewed for a job in Portland, Maine a few years ago and while I was visiting the city, went to Sea Bags and picked up a couple items. Sea Bags recycles old sails and repurposes them into all different kinds of bags. I ended up picking up a wine tote this time. I love Sea Bag's wine totes because like a library card you can write who you're sending it to and they can give it to someone else and add their name and date to the bag. It's a nice gift that is meant to be regifted. I can't wait to see the journey this wine bag is going to take once I gift it. The Good Market also carries Pura Vida Bracelets and a large assortment of jewelry from other makers. The staff is super friendly and very knowledgeable about the products and companies. There is also a coffee bar in this shop in case you need a little jolt of caffeine while you're shopping.

I decided not to purchase anything because I needed to talk with my husband; I was so impressed with the customized beadwork jewelry she explained. You cannot find that anywhere else in our area. The atmosphere was warm and inviting and had a wide range of gifts and products not only for funerals, deceased ones, etc., but also for family members celebrating weddings and births for example. If you come to this store make sure you deal with Monica and ask for her if you call. Some people make a store worth driving 40 minutes for, she definitely does.

Sister day our etc. then upstairs is where the sweet connections are. Something for all ages. Three rooms, each insually decorated different to go with the theme of the candy. Then there is a balcony that has a fable and a cotton candy machine. Although it wasn't running that day it sounded tasty to have. One room is for little girls with unicorns and rainbows and dolls, the main room is more for adults and the third room is more geared towered boys with super heroes and LEGO candy etc. the balcony is available to rent out for small events and would be awesome in the summer months. It includes the cotton candy machine if you like too!! it takes awhile to peruse the upstairs because there is so much fun candy to look at and buy. She even had a big selection of throw back candy that takes you back to your childhood. The place is very clean but social distancing isn't practiced except for hand sanitizer. No masks etc. the owner is super friendly and easy to talk too.
