Shop it while you can: A new store opening three days each month debuts today in a long-vacant retail space.
Christi Petersen is opening Seasoned Style at 824 W. 10th St., filling a first-floor space that years ago was The Willow Tree boutique and more recently was a tattoo shop.
“It’s a unique shopping experience each month,” said Petersen, who has a background in education and child care and is a partner in a similar shop in Dell Rapids.
“There’s lots of stores that do this around the country. It’s usually hand-collected, handcrafted.”
That’s the case with Seasoned Style, which this month offers a variety of fall-themed merchandise arranged throughout multiple rooms of the first floor. The upstairs is rented by a tenant.
Other than a few display pieces, “pretty much everything is for sale,” she said.
“I’m concentrating a lot on my brand color, the green (this month), and the golds and neutrals and really all the colors of fall.”
About 90 percent of the merchandise is vintage or upcycled, while Petersen hand-pours soy candles herself.
“It’s all things I find at a thrift store,” she said “I do very little wholesale, and I try to find as much handmade as I can.”
All sales are final.
Hours will be the third week of each month: 4 to 8 p.m. Thursday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
