hello everyone!
since we are closed today, I thought I’d reintroduce myself, as we have had lots of new faces join us over the last couple of months!
I’m allison! and my little scrunchy-nosed nugget is annalynn (or lynnie)! we are the girls behind the gilded grace boutique!
this boutique started as a jewelry-making hobby almost five years ago (🤯) under the name “by a thread,” and has truly transformed into more than I ever could have dreamed! we have grown from an online shop with handmade bracelets, then added clothing, grew into popups + now have a full blown brick and mortar and online shop too! now named and inspired after my favorite people as “the gilded grace boutique” 🤍
I am originally from hays, ks, but traveled around lots before our move to phillipsburg! we have been here since the summer of 2020, and are so lucky to call it home! I still feel like I’m meeting + getting to know so many new faces every day, and I’m so fortunate this boutique brings so many incredible women into our lives!
I spent 5 years teaching high school in the oberlin + kensington districts, but when we found out our family was growing and had the opportunity to open up the store we knew the stars were aligning a bit! so now I get to spend my days working with all of you + loving on my girl, as she has become everyone’s favorite part of the shop! you will 100% be greeted with a happy shriek and a scrunchy-nose smile when you enter our doors from miss lynnie - she LOVES when our friends come to see us 🥰
the handsome men in these photos are my husband + bonus babe, blake and jackson! there are not enough words to express how amazing both of these boys are! blake is a teacher and coach, and works so hard to allow us girls to spend our days together. I never dreamed I’d be able to be the type of mom that gets to spend her days with her little loves, and I am so grateful to have him in my corner to allow me to live out both of my dreams at once - no matter how crazy that makes life sometimes 🤍
I absolutely love getting to serve you all and build relationships that extend way beyond clothing. you are all always more than customers to me, and I’m so grateful that this business has honestly brought me so many friends. what a gift it is to have a space that fosters creativity, friendship, acceptance and the ability to embrace exactly who you are • I always hope you feel that way too when you walk in our doors.
we truly love this community we are building, and I hope you always know that 🤍
- allison + annalynn
