If you are looking for Magnolia Pearl, this Midwest store is an unbelievable treat!! They are selling MP like crazy!! And that means they are granted a beautiful selection of this product line from Magnolia Pearl headquarters. The store owner is loving and kind and full of life!! It’s so easy to see in her Facebook posts. Indeed, she has customers from all over the US and abroad, undoubtedly because she knows how to make each customer feel special. It comes from her heart. And no, I’m not a relative, or even a girlfriend. I am just someone who has been in her store enough now to learn about her and her business. One very unique thing...when MAGNOLIA PEARL ‘RIGHT-AWAY’ is not quite possible, she offers LAYAWAY on Magnolia Pearl! I have never met another Magnolia Pearl distributor that will do this. So when you have your heart set on a Magnolia Pearl item, but are not able to take it with you that day, layaway is a very helpful option.

Besides Magnolia Pearl, Michelle has many beautiful items in all price ranges. She also has a jewelry selection that is perfect match for the Magnolia Pearl pieces.

If you are close enough to make the drive, the store setting itself is unbelievable. It belongs in a museum… The entire store. It has an amazing history of an era gone by, in a little town that truly honors the American heritage of the Prairie. It’s just something you have to see to grasp.

It’s only about 20 minutes off interstate 55. If you love Magnolia Pearl, it’s well worth taking the exit to Carlinville Illinois to meet Michelle in person and to see her lovely store. One other tip...Be sure to honor the speed limit on your way there. I found that out myself...

For over 4 years now I have been obsessed with everything the store has to offer. I miss going into the Illinois store, but look forward to my next trip to Tennessee to visit the new one! From the eclectic selection of clothing, jewelry, accessories, and gifts all the way to the customer service, knowledge and personality of Michelle as soon as you walk through the door, it’s like coming home. I highly recommend a visit to the store, it’s worth its own special trip just to meet our friend in person we see weekly on lives. :) can’t make it all the way to Tennessee? Online shopping is just as amazing and if you have any questions about fit or sizing, Michelle is ALWAYS there to help! Wear what makes...

This is the best boutique I have seen in years. The owner has FANTASTIC taste in both quality and style. My brother and I were passing through and couldn't drive past by the Willy Nelson chainsaw sculpture in the front without checking inside too. We walked in expecting a whiskey shop and were delightfully surprised by this store of treasures. I've never seen such large pieces of turquoise for such low prices. I recommend this spot to anyone who wants designer garb for affordable prices. I wish I lived closer so I could...
