Shopping
Fun place to shop! Candles, plants, clean bath products, etc... This place truly is eclectic and the owners are so nice. They own State Street Soap Co, and decided to expand it into their own boutique partnering with other local businesses to add other items to their shelves.

The owner is the sweetest, and the clothes are always in style. Amazing smelling candles, along with lotion, perfume, jewelry, and other small items perfect for gifts. I always enjoy seeing the new items Sydnie puts out!
