Owner Gabriella Buckingham has been the boutique owner for “eight wonderful months.”

She chose to open her business in the downtown area of Fulton, within the Twin Cities,  because this is where she was born and raised. 

She resides in Fulton, and her hobby is, what else? Going shopping!

Her mother, Barbara Buckingham, a teacher, helps at the store every time she has a day off.

An interesting thing about Gabriella, which people probably do not know, is that as a young child she received speech therapy, which was able to correct her speaking issues. “Everyone that knows me or that comes in the store realizes I have no issue with carrying on a conversation. Most people tell me I could talk to a brick wall, and I have no issues today with speaking, to anyone at any time!” she said. 

“The best part of my job is that I am able to interact with my customers,  knowing that I am providing an affordable option for everyone, and making every customer that walks through my door feel worthy,” she said.

“The hardest part about being a small business is making it through the tough days.  Not everyday looks the same and learning to look forward to the days to come is something I try to do,” Gabriella said.
