What a cute little boutique nestled on a quiet side street in downtown Calhoun. If I wasn't just…read moreaimlessly window shopping one afternoon while seeing family in the area, I wouldn't have even known it existed. I'm glad I took a stroll over and discovered this hidden gem. Aside from super cute clothes and shoes (boho tops, platform sandals, wedges, leggings, loungewear), I found some adorable necklaces and earrings, a few handbags (higher end materials) and a bunch of nice home decorative accents, like candles from The Rustic House line, which I was told were made exclusively in Tennessee (manager mentioned it). Most of the clothes were from area designers and such and the selection and prices were really comparable to nearby boutiques and big box retailers. I liked a lot of the pieces, but only picked up a few as I needed room in my luggage to pack for the trip back north. There was a surprise scavenger hunt sale going on, so I drew for a discount code at the registers and was pleased to have received a nice percentage reduction on my purchase (30%), which is a healthy savings. Yay for surprise scavenger hunt sales (a few of the local boutiques downtown were participating that week)! I'll take a nice sale any day! The manager also told me that I could order anything from the store and have it shipped out of state, too, so that's a bonus. She also told me to check out their FB and IG pages, too, both of which seem chock full of interesting finds. I just checked out their IG and they have some nice items on there. I'm about to do some online shopping now..... The new stock is adorable. Service was friendly and the manager-owner chatted with my husband and I for a bit and mentioned a couple of other local shops I might actually like to check out. First rate shopping experience at a local independent biz.

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

Overall, I was pretty impressed by the location, I'd give it 1/2 star more…read more Pros: Clean. All the racks were very well organized, and there were no clothes strewn on the floor as I have seen at other places. When you first walk in, there are women's clothes to the right and men's to the left. All by size, and the sizes are actually in there! Further back, there are dresses, jackets, wedding dresses!! lol. And then there is a 2nd section in the back of the store with shoes, purses, home and kitchen and miscellaneous. Its all very organized and not as dusty as some places I've been to. They have a bathroom and 2 dressing rooms. Cons. It gets hot. I was here during the day and since there are very big windows instead of walls, the sun beats in. Selection is somewhat limited, I saw some old navy, and mostly stuff that correlates to the outlet mall down the street. Most of the clothes are a little dated. Sometimes the prices are very hard to find. They also have a color tag system in which the color tags are on sale for 2 weeks. The cashier said they rotate these so they know how long something has been there. I found a few good steals, too bad they weren't the colors that were on sale. ( I know some thrift stores change the color every day ) Overall, I'd be back if I were in the area because it was easy to navigate, the clothes were not strewn around on the floor, organization, and less dust than other thrift stores.

My husband and I went to look for blue jeans for him. Of course, I was going to look around myself. We were not greeted as we walked in. FIVE employees on sales floor and not one asked if we needed any help. They would just whisper to one another and giggle and continue acting busy. The store is also simply too small for everything they are trying to shove in there. Oh, and if your needing to try on something.... forget it. You have to hunt down an associate and ask for a changing room, then get treated like you just ruined their whole day.
