What a cute boutique to find in small town in rural GA. I liked everything about it the second I…read morewalked in the door. I was surprised to see such an eclectic boutique like this in such a small town, but it was a very pleasant surprise and I found a few other similar, unique shops in the area, too, so I was geeked about that. It was definitely more akin to funky boutiques and gift shops that usually dot Melrose Ave, but I was obviously happy to find such a treasure in downtown Calhoun. I found some of the the cutest tops and dresses here. I noted that this particular shop only carried limited numbers of each design and most clothing items didn't come in several sizes (or multiple items in different sizes, either), probably as a way to ideally keep the styles varied and more unique, not typical cookie cutter styles often sold in mass market quantities in department stores or shopping malls. In other words, this wasn't Banana Republic, if you know what I mean. Not everyone around town will be wearing the same identical outfit when boutiques actually carry only select numbers of each piece. The store layout, its merchandise, price point, and customer service all reminded me of a more niche boutique that you see in larger cities, like LA or Chicago. All of the labels were from clothing companies that I hadn't seen before and most seemed to be Made in the USA, too. I have to say, I liked that a lot. I definitely thought the skirts, dresses, tops and jackets seemed more upmarket in comparison to what I would've thought before stepping into this quiet little boutique. Don't judge a book by its cover because the unassuming facade couldn't have belied what treasures were behind the front door more than it did. Other than clothing, I found a bunch of cute handbags and custom jewelry. The salespeople were super friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. I wound up picking up some jewelry that I couldn't pass up and it was on sale (most of the downtown stores ran a Pre-Easter sale that weekend), so it didn't cost that much, either. Honestly, I regret not picking up a cute lace dress that I saw, too, but that's my mistake in not picking it up before it sold out. Bummer. Overall, excellent attention to customer service and great selection. I

Super cute gift shop with lots of eclectic home decor, clothing, jewelry and cosmetics and much…read moremore. I came upon this boutique by chance and stopped in on a whim after the shop was recommended to me by another store owner downtown. Actually, I'd passed by this charming little boutique several times and hadn't noticed that it's a boutique because it's actually located inside a converted old home in a combination residential/business area on a shady, tree-lined side street. Once I walked inside, I found so many cute things that I didn't know what to look at first, but I immediately spied a bunch of cute Paula Deen kitchenware/decor I tucked into one corner and I immediately made a beeline towards it. Elsewhere, my husband I found a big clearance/sale section located in another room and tons of eclectic decor items, including candles, pillows, pottery, glassware, some vintage pieces, plus racks of clothing and accessories and so much more. Every room of this old home was chock full of unique wares (don't think about not hitting the second floor-there's even more in store upstairs). Don't forget to stop in the bathroom, too, because most of the fragrances, lotions, cosmetics, and candles are in there! It smelled so good, it almost felt like a spa. Truthfully, I could have spent a fortune in here, though I managed to curb my inner shopaholic and pare down my purchases to a few items, including some Paula Deen pottery and a carved wood decorative knock knack. While some things were typical Chinese imported goods, I actually found plenty of Made in USA merchandise, including handmade box candles, pottery and accessories, which I was pleased to see. There was an Easter Egg scavenger hunt sale going on here (several downtown retailers participated- it was the week of Easter), so I grabbed a plastic Easter egg out of a bag to find out my store discount, which was 30% off my total purchase, so that was great. I signed up for their email list, too, so now I get notifications on special promotional events and sales. Customer service here was excellent, too. Overall, a great shopping experience.
