    UPDATE MARCH 2017 Since their move south a couple blocks to…read morethe spot across the street from the newish Mickey Finn's, Serendipity seems to have really upped their game. They are a favorite place to stop on First Fridays, when I can hardly get in the door! And the stream of new and fun fashions and accessories is non-stop. Service is friendly and personal, too. Still one of my favorite stops. This is like shopping in a dear friend's great closet. Although the store is tiny, the variety always surprises me, and the service can't be beat. I find interesting items I find nowhere else, and while their prices are consistent with other stores, their sale items make them more affordable. There is even a comfortable place to sit! I have purchased tops, purses, outerwear, scarves, jewelry, and other items. Easy to miss since it is north of Casa Bonita and before the train tracks, up a couple of stairs. But with such a uniquely-vintage location and terrific items and service, it is worth the extra steps. Easy parking right in front, or in the copious parking lots around the corner on Lake Street. No I do not work for them - I am just a huge fan and want to be sure they stay in town!

I love how I can stop in and get help in finding a last minute gift or a needed something to wear to an outing. Everything in the store is unique and so cute! The staff is great. I love this shop.

    There are no "great" brands at this store. Most of the clothes I've tried on don't fit right. Also,…read morethey have no inventory, either a size extra small or medium. Employees are very rude to customers, almost annoyed that people come into the store to shop. I saw a customer had to return a dress and had her kids waiting in the car, the employee had no idea what to do, she retuned the wrong item and could not get the POS to even print a receipt. The employee was rude to and brash to the other employee trying to help and extremely flustered trying to call a manger on the phone, all while the customer is waiting for a simple return. The customer was so unhappy with the experience and made it very clear how unhappy she was with the employee. Why would this employee be manning the store alone, not knowing how to use the POS system? Very poor management. I would not recommend this boutique, if you want cute stuff go to One Girl in Barrington or Angelina's.

    My wife and I needed some gifts for a toddler's birthday. We didn't want to hit the retail stores…read moreor amazon for some cliche trendy toys. We stumbled upon this location one day and decided to take a look inside. Staff is super helpful and friendly. One thing we noticed right away was how warm and inviting the atmosphere was. I like these type of ma and pa shops because you don't have that big store parking lot obstacle course. You also do not need to wrestle with some cold automated machine that says "Unexpected item in the bagging area". The staff are real and don't carry walkie talkies or wear vests. We settled on some toddler books and stuffed animals in the child's section. Give this place a look if you find yourself walking around downtown Barrington. Honestly, it has that local shop feel because it is a local shop.

    I have so much many reasons to say "thank you" to you Lisa. My initial project was to find fabric…read morefor two of my chairs. After months of searching and shopping and being unable to find choice, quality fabric that I desired, I decided to stop into your store, Interiors by Bruce. I tried to keep under that radar as I looked around, but your husband, Bruce (aka Chip) started talking to me about your interior design expertise; along with a tour of your upholstery and drapery area. I never intended to work with a decorator, as I was hesitant because of past experiences with decorators. However, based on Chip's rave recommendation of you, I decided to give you a call. I am so very happy I did. It was truly the beginning of the best experience I have ever had working with an interior decorator. Lisa, you are amazing. You took my two 30 year old Ethan Allen chairs and, not only gave them new life, but a new look as well. Your attention to detail, your creativity and eye for fabric and design is superior. I was so impressed with how easy and fun you made the process, I asked you to help me finish the living room. A year later, you helped me achieve my vision for our family room and sun room. This was not an easy task. At first, husband was not on board with the sun room redo as he did not think it necessary (of course he didn't!). Upon completion of the sun room, I'll never forget when my husband came home and saw the room completed (accessories and all). He immediately called you to tell you how glad he was that he decided to redo the sun room because it was more beautiful than he could have imaged (ha, ha, like it was his idea in the first place!!). Lisa, even though you and I worked together on the majority of selecting the furniture, fabric and upholstery decisions, my husband said he also enjoyed his level of involvement because of you. The reason for this is because what is especially important and what we really appreciated is that you listened to us - to our likes, our dislikes and "guided" us through the process when we were unsure. You never imposed your design ideas upon us. If we really did not like a fabric, you took it out of the mix without making us feel as if we did not have any taste in style and design. But on the other hand, when you thought a fabric was really going to work and worth taking home with us to look at it again in our environment, you would slip it into our bag and say "just give it a chance". We would take the fabric home, look at it, and come back with smiles and say "okay, you were right". You worked hard to find and give us what we wanted. Another area of your expertise is your ability to accessorize a room and pull it all together. Lisa, your creativity and design is intrinsic. You have completely redone three major room in our home; living room, family room and sun room. Again, you made the process easy, fun and stayed within our budget. Thank you for helping me transform our house into a beautiful, welcoming home. The entire experience of working with you and your upholstery and drapery staff was truly a pleasure and money well spent.

All of the houses I've seen pictures of that they have done are tasteful and gorgeous. If you listen to that review and let it stop you from going into that store, you're crazy too!!
