This is the most wonderful shop, full of handmade and local kids clothes, toys, and goodies,…read moreincluding cute accessories for adults as well. The inside almost looks like a tree house, with a slanted wood roof and incredible displays set up everywhere. Lok means "happy" in Chinese and it's a happy place indeed. The shop is a culmination of goods from several local makers, including "Little Love by Lok" which is made in-house. The owner is one of the most creative people and makes bows, baby wraps, blankets, teepees, head wraps and much more for young kids. I don't even have kids yet, but almost buy something for a future kid every time I'm in the store. I recently bought a cute pair of earrings from a local maker here and really love them. The space also has a wonderfully-sized party room (about 30 people max) and a kid room (the entire place is super kid-friendly). You can rent it out for a reasonable price or can attend workshops here. The owner also has rows and rows of gorgeous fabrics in hers studio and you can have her custom-make an item for you too. Bonus: She's also a photographer and you can book her for any of your photo needs.

I'm very happy that the southside has a new, local focused shop to visit. It is primarily focused on infant and children's gifts, especially clothing and accessories. There are some candles and jewelry that are for moms, but still very cute. The owner was very helpful as well. Drive down for a visit!

I actually browsed the store twice because there was so much to see I kept missing items. The refurbished furniture was lovely work and well chosen paint colors. If I had space at home, I found two pieces of furniture I would have purchased. I still think about those and keep trying to find a way to use. The store is fun with so many types of merchandise that you just need to visit the shop. Old, new, refurbished, Primitives, unique items for a large homes or businesses all under one roof. Stop in!

It seems like downtown Franklin is embracing independent shoppes as a way to bring life to the…read morearea. Sure, there have been a number of antique/home decor/boutiques come and go, but this one just opened and looks to be attracting a steady clientele. Nestled on the north side of Jefferson about a block west of the courthouse, this shotgun style business is long and narrow but still had enough room to get around. Inside, there is a wide variety of items to choose from: Some for gifts, some for personal, some for a laugh. The next time you feel like browsing for something different, stop by. They have street parking as well as a free parking lot across the street. The cluster of shoppes all carry items that are a little bit different and together are making the downtown a destination for a day of browsing/buying. Review #2726

Jennifer was such a delight! She made our shopping super easy in Circle City Souvenirs. We were…read morelooking for particular items for souvenirs and she had it all in the store and more. Also she carefully packed my picture frame with bubble wrap to make sure it didn't get any scratches during my travel. Many sections like magnets, cups, shirts and lotions from the local farms. The lotions smell wonderful. I highly recommend the lotions. You can test it at the counter with Jennifer. Again, she was so helpful. The price was average. We definitely got all we needed.

They also have items for some of Indiana's favorite brands like IU, Colts, Perdue. Among the products they have apparels, accessories, home goods, posters, magnets, stickers, cups, mugs, stationary, key rings and so much more. They take online orders too and ship all over the country. Since we love shopping souvenirs, we deliberately planned to go to this store. I found they had 50 states magnets with a map as well. Even though I didn't buy the whole set, I bought about 32 states' magnets. They were decently priced at $5 each. We also bought a picture frame and some smaller items. Jennifer was so friendly and helpful. She assisted me in locating one of the state magnets I couldn't find in the rack. She also packed all our items very nicely. Checkout was quick. While we were shopping there for a while, many other visitors stopped by to get their gift/souvenir. Loved the place and highly recommended.

It's very small (like a long hallway) but it's put together so thoughtfully and doesn't feel crowded at all!

It's a very small shop but packed with so much character and a carefully curated selection. The owner greeted us with such warmth. She explained where she sources items from- all over the world but a large amount come from artisans in United Kingdom. This is a perfect place to come get a gift for yourself or someone else. I found a candle holder which I have been looking for one. The owner gave some tips on how to burn candles in it which is so helpful. The store was decorated for the holidays and playing Christmas music. It was so great and I'm glad we found it and were able to find some amazing items. I will be back!
