Treasure Lilly Boutique now open for business
By KAThRyNE RAKowsKi
There’s a new store in town, and just in time for the holidays.
Treasure Lilly Boutique is now open in the Aldi’s Plaza on Rte. 31 in Cicero.
The boutique is run by owner Jennell Thurn, who entered the industry seven years ago with the goal of empowering women in mind.
“I saw a need to connect with women to help them find themselves again,” she said. “What better way than clothing?”
Thurn enjoys helping women to feel beautiful in the skin they’re in, carrying clothing from size small to 3x.
“I love to see women love themselves and find their style,” she said.
There is something for all women at the boutique, with a wide range of brands including Inis, POL, Judy Blue and Myra, to name a few.
The shop also carries shoes, fragrances and a variety of giftables.
But the customer favorite, according to Thurn, are buttery soft legging, designed and manufactured by Treasure Lilly.
And don’t be scared off by the name “boutique” and think Thurn’s items are out of your price range.
“I pride myself in providing affordable fashion,” she said. “You will find our prices are amazing.” Originally opening her store

ulatowski announces success of Clay Community solar Campaign
More than 850 households join; projected to save $1 85m
Town of Clay Supervisor Damian M. Ulatowski announced the success of the town’s recent community solar campaign in partnership with PowerMarket.
This initiative, launched in October 2024, has already enrolled over 850 local households into community solar, which allows residents to benefit from solar energy without installing panels on their own properties.
The financial impact of this initiative is significant: participating households are expected to collectively save an estimated $1.85 million in energy costs over the lifetime of the community solar projects.
The community solar campaign, managed by PowerMarket, employs a multifaceted approach to enroll residents in solar energy projects.
This includes a customized website, letter-based outreach, and various promotional materials, all designed to effectively communicate the benefits and facilitate broad community participation.
“It is a profound point of pride for our town to witness the remarkable success of our community solar initiatives in partnership with PowerMarket,” said Ulatowski. “With 850 households already enrolled, Town residents are making a major difference, stimulating the economy, promoting a cleaner and healthier environment, and enhancing the energy independence of our community.”
Participants in the Clay community solar campaign are connected to the Morgan West and Morgan East projects located within the town of Clay, as well as the Westmoreland project located about 40 miles east of Clay in Westmoreland, N.Y.
All three projects are developed by EDP Renewables North America (EDPR NA).
Together, Clay households are benefiting from more than 6 MWdc of solar capacity.
This translates to a total of roughly 17,000 solar panels.
Participating residents will receive a portion of the energy generated by their solar project
in the form of credits on their electricity bill. These credits, which are proportionate to household usage, directly reduce monthly energy costs.
“Our partnership with the town of Clay demonstrates how PowerMarket’s approach to hyperlocal community engagement delivers substantial benefits for local residents, our municipal partners, and solar developers alike, all while supporting critical decarbonization goals,” said Brad Tito, director of community energy at PowerMarket.
“We are particularly grateful to Town Supervisor Damian M. Ulatowski and his staff for their dedication and support throughout this campaign. Their commitment to the Clay community has been essential to achieving these remarkable results.”
The campaign remains ongo
ing, and residents are encouraged to enroll to benefit from community solar savings.

Townhomes opposed
Brow Street neighbors request moratorium on multi-family building plans
By Russ TARBy Contributing Writer
It wasn’t on the agenda of the Village of Liverpool Board of Trustees meeting on Monday, Nov. 18, but neighbors wanted to express their opposition to an out-of-town developer’s plan to construct a pair of twostory buildings featuring four townhomes each at 103 Vine St.
The application for site review by owner-developer Michael Dougherty, his daughter, Lily Dougherty, of Park & Vine Holdings and Taber Rowlee of the Rowlee Construction Company is currently being considered by the village planning board, but the trustees really have little to do with it so far.
Nevertheless, acting as spokesman for his neighbors, village Judge Anthony LaValle, who lives with his family at 101 Tulip St. at the corner of Brow, asked the trustees to enact a moratorium on approvals of any proposed development of housing designed for three or more family units.
LaValle also critiqued the village’s comprehensive plan which was adopted 16 years ago.
“That plan is outdated, flawed and desperately in need of an overhaul,” he said. The plan lacks “zoning and land-use controls which reflect the will and values of Liverpool village residents.”
LaValle pointed to three post-plan developments which had negative impacts on the village: Dunkin’ Donuts, Colonial Laundromat/OIP and American High. (For more on this topic, please see Livin’ n Liverpool, on page 4.)
But LaValle and several other residents who attended the Nov. 18 meeting were most concerned with Dougherty’s plans for 103 Vine St.
“Larger developments [such as this] are not in keeping with the residential character of our neighborhoods,” LaValle concluded.
Nextdoor observations
Meanwhile Brow Street resident Joni Romano has started a discussion of the proposed townhomes on nextdoor.co m . Her initial post on Nov. 18 exclaimed, “Don’t make another mistake on the lake!”
And Romano advised her neighbors to attend planning board meetings which are scheduled at the village hall at 6 p.m. on the fourth Monday of each month.
Onondaga County Parks plans a major renovation and expansion of its marina on Onondaga Lake at the base of Vine Street, she told the planning board at a recent meeting.
“That marina gets traffic 24 hours a day as it is,” Romano said, contending that the lakeside townhomes will only increase the influx of vehicles.
Each rental unit at 103 Vine St. would include two or three bedrooms.
A basement garage for a single vehicle would be located beneath each unit, and each tenant would have access to two additional parking spaces.
Dougherty estimated that the monthly rental fee for each townhome unit would be between $3,500 and $4,000.
Nine trucks ticketed
At the village board’s monthly meeting on Nov. 18, Police Chief Jerry Unger reported that his officers made 161 traffic stops and issued 124 citations for violations of the state’s vehicle and traffic laws in the month of October.
Officers stopped 12 tractor trailers in the village last month, and issued nine local law traffic tickets for being overweight.
Five accidents were investigated here in October.
Officers made 24 residential checks and 155 business checks last month, while responding to a total of 547 incidents and calls for service, an average of 17.6 calls per day. The LPD arrested 22 individuals last month on 25 criminal charges.

Teen driver safety
The week of Oct. 20 to 26 was dedicated to a focus on the idea of teen driver safety according to AAA.
But, as AAA encouraged parents to talk to teen drivers early, it is never a bad time to shine a light on this important issue.
For many teen drivers this is an important milestone in their lives, a first taste of independence and freedom. But it is a milestone that comes with a great deal of responsibility that it is well worth discussing with teen drivers and future drivers alike.
AAA research shows that more than 60% of teens get their driver’s license before the age of 18.
Research from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety found that for every mile driven, new teen drivers, ages 16-17 years old, are three times as likely as adults to be involved in a deadly crash.
Motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death for teens (15-18 years old) in the United States. In 2022, there were 2,514 people killed in crashes involving a teen passenger vehicle driver (15-18 years old), of which 811 deaths were the teen passenger vehicle driver, according to AAA.
According to AAA, due to their inexperience, teen drivers are at a higher risk of crashes. According to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety Culture Index, about 72% of teen drivers aged 16-18 admitted to having engaged in at least one risky behaviors: Driving 10 mph over the speed limit on a residential street (47%); driving 15 mph over the speed limit on a freeway (40%); texting (35%); red-light running (32%); aggressive driving (31%); drowsy driving (25%); and driving without a seatbelt (17%).
It’s never too soon for parents to talk to teen drivers about safety.
Young drivers can also benefit from professional, one-on-one training to understand the rules of the road and their responsibilities.
Driving instructors also take some of the stress away from parents who struggle with teaching their children how to navigate a vehicle. AAA Driver Training is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year.
Founded in October 2004, the program has assisted 386,000 total students with almost 900,000 instruction hours across the region.
“The virtual 5-hour course at AAA coupled with hands-on, in-car experience with a skilled instructor through a variety of routes and in different weather conditions prepares young drivers for safety and success behind the wheel,” said Mike Formanowicz, AAA driver training manager, who also encourages parents to take a AAA defensive driving course to refresh their driving skills, earn insurance discounts, and set a good example for young drivers.
AAA advises new drivers to “R.E.A.D. the road” to minimize their risk of a crash:
R = Right speed, for right now: Always mind the speed limit and reduce speed when driving in adverse weather.
E = Eyes up, brain on: Always scan the road to anticipate dangers ahead. Eliminate distractions and keep your mind focused on the task of driving.
A = Anticipate their next move: Be aware of other drivers on the road. Anticipate their next move and always have a plan to respond.
D = DONUT of space around your vehicle: Keep large amounts of space to the front and sides of the vehicle.
Students who need more information can go online to AAA.com/DriverTraining where they can enroll in online courses or call 1-800-836-2582.
HOW CAN WE HELP?
My ChRisTMAs LisT
Tsubscription info: lori Newcomb, ext 333, lnewcomb@eaglenewsonline com
here’s a chill in the air, a meteorological nudge telling me to start my Christmas list. Actually, I’ve been thinking about Christmas for several months, anticipating the annual madness as well as the need to adjust to the changes that life and politics bring. Does anyone know where I can buy some lumps of coal?
For sure, we will have a new faux Christmas tree this year.
I can hear my spouse now, questioning me. “What’s wrong with the old one?”
Well, by any measure, the old fake fir has become more recyclable than celebratory; hard to assemble would be an improvement and half of the lights no longer work. So, I am beginning my list with: Find a reasonably priced artificial Christmas tree that speaks to the rest of my plans for the holiday … whatever they are.
This advent anxiety never changes. Every year I try to smooth out the processes and every year it still has lumps, bumps and potholes. It’s all about stuff and meaning.
I am no different than people who railed against the materialism of Christmas over a hundred years ago. My gosh, Charles Dickens was one of the loudest protesters and he lived in the mid-19th century. (For those who are confused, the nineteenth century’s years begin with 18. I add this tidbit because I was probably 30 before I could rationalize why a date beginning with 18 should be counted as being in the 19th century, and apparently, I wasn’t the only one so confused.)
Back to my Christmas list, I do believe that I will need professional help in fulfilling my goals to bring joy to the recipients.
Why? There are seven males on the list. Finding lovely, appreciated gifts for women is easy; for males? Not. Women are always needing a little something and they so appreciative of the effort and thought.
The youngest on my male Christmas list are 3 years old. Their world is one where everything is new, so finding something that engages them will not be
difficult. Right now, their favorite thing in the world is Paw Patrol. That may change by Christmas so I am seeking other opportunities among the tried and true, things like coloring books, trucks, crafts and, of course, books.
As for the older version of men, since the all of the remaining males on the list consider themselves to be men … there is no hope. I’ve actually given my son-in-law the same shirt twice. How many golf balls can you use? What about stuff for your vehicle? A new tool? Something for the barbecue? Art supplies? I am stymied.
And, if these guys are tough to gift, what about the two teenagers whose preferences are both mobile and static as they wander through the terrible angst of being adolescents. Our culture does a poor job of moving children into adulthood. We assume that public education is that structure that turns lovers of Paw Patrol into young men, but it doesn’t.
There are so many competing seductions for teens, confronting them just as they are leaving the protection of the filters that their families constructed to protect them from the challenges of the world when they were younger.
One day you are playing with Legos and then, all of a sudden, with a surprising change of voice, you are thrown into the ocean of knowing and being intensely attuned to the opinions of others … kind of like Adam in the garden of Eden … only Eve is not the one who is offering the apple, it’s social media, media that elevates the baseness of life into “cutting edge” entertainment, the opinion of age mates, the ordinary sadness of life .. Other simpler cultures train their offspring to assume a clearly defined definition of adulthood and its accompanying responsibilities. We do not.
So, what is out there for my grandsons who are teens? Where do I start?
First it’s my observations that they are enough. Who they are now and who they are becoming, the latter a constant in life, is enough. They don’t need to use the yardsticks of the media, so called friends, etc. to evaluate themselves. With all the pressures that they are and will be facing
they have a tool box given to them by their family to deal with the conflicting and sometimes dangerous temptations that life offers.
What can I give them that will engender a love of who they are and who they are becoming? A Thesaurus? Pictures of their parents as teens, prompting them to see the guidance that they offer comes from having been over the territory before?
What can tell them that the world is full of wonder, wonderful objects, people, ideas, experiences, way beyond Tic Tok,etc.? From a blade of grass to the soaring voice on an operatic stagethere is so much to encounter. Too often, the world is ignored by the seduction of digital devices. Meaningful springboards to the future are passed by. How do I encourage awareness, curiosity, exploration outside of the media and the whispered advice of others that can darken sunny days?
Each Christmas gift, for whatever reason, is a message about values that underlies choice. Bombarded by information, choice is the only viable tool. And the mechanism of choice is based on values they have been taught by precept and example about critical thinking, kindness, compassion, right and wrong.
And if I ask what they would like for Christmas, they have no answers. Maybe a new hoodie?
At best, at the very least, I wish that any gift I give is known to be an expression of my love for them, for my joy at being their grandmother. So, now I scan the accumulated catalogs, snippets of articles that I’ve set aside for Christmas ideas and taking several big breaths…forge ahead, hoping that I can give tools that bring delight.
OK, so it may wind up that I will gift a few hoodies and, maybe, if they are good, a Thesaurus where there are so many ways to find out the meaning of joy, gift, love, giving and receiving.

Judge LaValle critiques 2008 comprehensive plan
Tony LaValle has served as the village justice since 2007. In those 17 years he has developed a deep appreciation for our mile-square abode, its residents and their values.
At the most recent village board of trustees meeting on Nov. 18, Tony led off the meeting’s public comment period with brief but breathtaking observations about Liverpool’s 2208 comprehensive plan.
That plan lacks “zoning and landuse controls which reflect the will and values of Liverpool village residents,” the judge told the trustees Melissa Cassidy, Rachel Ciotti, Matt Devendorf, Mike LaMontagne and Mayor Stacy Finney.
The judge pointed to three postplan developments which had negative impacts on the village: Dunkin,’ Colonial Laundromat/Original Italian Pizza and American High.
“The American High project in the old Zogg school building [at 800 Fourth St.] has caused traffic and noise and the operation of a commercial business inconsistent with the residential character of the adjacent neighborhood,” he said.
As to Dunkin’ Donuts at 105 Second St., “Every morning it blocks and entire lane of traffic at its entrance, causing vehicle-stacking, road rage and a dangerous condition for pedestrian and vehicular traffic,” LaValle said.
And what about the Colonial Laundromat location at 408 Oswego St.?

Judge LaValle maintains that village planners “forced” its developers to construct the mini-strip mall “sideways, exposing the back of the building and its unsightly utilities to public view. It was also allowed to be built so close to the road that it blocks its neighbor’s business from public view, causing it to close its doors, go out of business and become a village eyesore.”
There LaValle is referencing the old Conoco Gas Station at 416 Oswego St.
But the biggest mistake made by the comprehensive plan, the judge suggests, is its apparent encouragement of multi-family dwellings in neighborhoods that have for decades housed single-family homes. Now the planning board is considering a proposal to construct two four-family buildings at 103 Vine St. in which eight townhomes would be rented to tenants at monthly rents that could top $4,000.
“This madness must stop,” LaValle told the trustees.
Neri gobbles garlic cheese
Speaking of judges, an Onondaga County State Supreme Court judge who used to work for the village of Liverpool made a humble sort of homecoming by visiting The Cobblestone Tavern on Tuesday, Nov. 19.
Judge Gerry Neri who was elected to the state’ Fifth Judicial District bench in 2018, shot the breeze with Liverpool Lumber honcho Joe Ehle at our landmark public house before settling in for

a meal of garlic cheese bread. Some 40 years ago, Neri became the youngest person ever to serve as a chief of police in the Empire State when he served on the LPD here from 1984 to 1998. He later worked for the Onondaga County Park Rangers.
JFK snipers named Last Friday we noted the 61st anniversary of the murder of President John F. Kennedy.
A couple of years ago, my friend from Oklahoma, Cold War researcher Larry Hancock named several sniper suspects in his book, “Tipping Point: The Conspiracy that Murdered President John Kennedy.”
The possible Nov. 22, 1963 shooters he identified were Feliz Vidal, Carlos Hernandez, Nestor Izquierdo and Segundo Borges Ransola.
Those anti-Castro exiles had been trained as a hit team by CIA handlers Carl Jenkins and Dave Morales, and other higher-ups involved were likely mobsters Johnny Roselli and Jack Ruby, as well as rogue CIA agents William King Harvey; Rip Robertson, Grayston Lynch and Tony Sforza. Washington-based journalist Jeff Morley – who runs the JFKFacts. org website – suspects a sniper by the name of Herminio Diaz Garcia, but Garcia is not mentioned in Hancock’s “Tipping Point.”

Ramblings from the empty nest ann Ferro
Livin’ in Liverpool
russ tarby
Transfer station
To the editor:
Someone told me there is new management at our recycling and trash center. And I’ve noticed a new younger attendant out in the first trash building. This younger new attendant doesn’t seem to be as eager to help as the mature attendants. All of the mature men have always offered to help.
I have heard the same from other older friends who use our dump. Perhaps you could consider hiring an energetic young woman to replace the one young man who doesn’t know when to help or lacks the energy.
On one memorable occasion, I had to carry my one bag to the further truck, as the closer truck was full and roped off while the young attendant stood with his arms folded watching. Recently, a friend had a similar experience - not sure if he was the same young attendant though.
I used to have a wonderful son who went to the dump for me, but he passed away last year. He loved to help me. It being Thanksgiving time, I want to thank all the nice mature men attendants at the dump who always offer help. God bless you all for your help.

Liverpool trees
To the editor:
I recently received a notice from the “Liverpool Village Tree Committee” in early October 2024! It stated they would be planting a “Redbud” tree and would be digging a hole in “the right-of-way” bordering our property on Iroquois Lane Nov. 9, 2024. It’s supposed to only grow 2035 feet high, it’s now at about 10 feet.
Not one person talked to us about this project prior to the letter above and when they planted the tree right under the utility lines of National Grid, Spectrum and Verizon.
Most of the village streets with houses have sidewalks, which are plowed by the Village of Liverpool DPW during winter.
Our neighborhood streets Irioquois LOane, Hiawatha trail, Wyker Circle, and Council Place do not have any sidewalks to safely walk on.
We need a rebate of our Liverpool village taxes.
All of our neighbors, including many elderly have to walk in the roads to get around, we do have a lot of car and increased truck traffic. The walks if built should be on “the right-of-way” to provide safety which to me is of greater concern to our neighbors, than planting trees along a 30-40 foot long front lawn, we do have a lot of trees surrounding all our homes. We don’t need more trees.
Why did this “Liverpool Village Tree Committee” be so sneaky and wouldn’t talk to us about our thoughts and concerns, even though I called the village clerk on Oct. 3, 2024 at 11:35 a.m. and was told they would call me the following week to set an appointment. No call to me was ever made.

How to win – and to not
Thanksgiving is here. Time to gather as families, catch up with relatives, avoid sensitive topics and stuff ourselves silly knowing we’ll all be doing roughly the same thing a month from now, too.
Except that the Turkey Day part must include football and must include games in Detroit and the Metroplex - Lions first, Cowboys second, then, now and always.
Only now it’s so different. Where once the Lions had a permanent residence in the NFL basement and the Cowboys were always part of the ruling class, they now have reversed roles.
It’s still weird seeing the Lions as a Super Bowl favorite, having never gone to one before and not won any league title since 1957, but Detroit has put all the piece together and proven that its run to last year’ s NFC title game wasn’t a fluke.
And the Cowboys? Yeah, not pretty, whether it’s injuries or embarrassing defeats, every single one of them in a national TV window since they figure we can’t get enough of this show.
All of the mirth in Motown and despair in Big D can be traced back to the figures at the top and the lessons gained from hard experience, learned or not.
What held up the Lions for so long was a tendency for William Clay Ford and, later, his family to either keep cronies on board or go for splashy hires like Matt Millen for the front office. All it led to was consistent misery.
Finally it dawned on the Fords that the best thing to do was find talented, proven individuals and then let them do their jobs.
So Brad Holmes, who helped build the Rams into a champion, got the GM’s job. A year later, Dan Campbell was hired as head coach. Together, they have built a complete team, potent on offense and quick and physical on defense, something that’s sure to land head-coaching gigs for Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn before long.
Most importantly, this team is very much the reflection of Holmes and Campbell, actual football men whose passion and desire are never in question and who burn far more to win than to look at a bank balance.
Then there’s the Cowboys. Or more accurately, there’s Jerry Jones, owner, GM and media magnet all rolled into one. He is
Random Thoughts
Phil Blackwell
the Cowboys, no matter who’s coaching or who’s in uniform. Everything is for sale, right up to the stadium tours in Arlington where fans can gawk at players during their daily routines. Some have accepted this, but to others it’s intrusive and creepy.
Yet the Cowboys, despite many good teams, have not even reached a conference championship game since winning it all in January 1996, all with the players Jimmy Johnson brought in before he got forced out by Jones. In many ways, what happened to Johnson was Jones’ original sin. He simply could not stand someone else getting the credit for the Cowboys’ turnaround from its late 1980s nadir.
As the drought extends another season, players and head coach Mike McCarthy might get ushered out, but Jones simply can’t accept responsibility. It’s always someone or something else. Where have we heard this before?
Whether it’s in Dallas or in Cleveland or some other locale, the more an owner participates in a team’s plan of action, the worse they seem to do. Maybe it’s no accident that Kansas City, Buffalo and Pittsburgh flourish with hands-off ownership and that Green Bays seems to do just fine each year without any single owner.
Watch on Thursday in between the entrée and the desserts. If the Lions continue their dominant path, you’ll hear plenty about Campbell and Jared Goff, Holmes and Amon-Ra St. Brown, and close to nothing about who signs the checks because, in winning, there’s plenty of glory and credit to pass around.
All that joy in Detroit contrasts the jaded situation in Dallas, a funereal sense that, not only are the Cowboys bad, but that the person most responsible for this downfall will never let go of the control he has over everything.
Jerry Jones might have his billions in the bank. What he can’t buy is the kind of respect and admiration which only comes with victories and letting go of at least some of the control he wields now.

Don’t fall for it! once she gets to know you, she’s your best friend and won’t let you out of her sight. she came to the shelter in May, and seems resigned to her lot in life. But there’s hope in her heart that her “furever” family is out there. Puppies are great, but there’s something very special about earning the trust and affection of a senior dog.

About three weeks ago I wrote an article about how signi cant the mental game was to Jack Nicklaus and how important it was for us to become a true student of the game to have more fun and play better.
Golf is not an easy sport to master. In fact, it is so di cult to master, no one, amateur or professional, ever has. ere are some who say Ben Hogan mastered the game. Mr. Hogan said he did not! Others have said Lee Trevino did. Mr. Trevino said he did not. How about Tiger Woods or Jack Nicklaus? Did they claim they mastered the game? Nope! Only Moe Norman, the Canadian Professional Golfer with a remarkable professional record as well as an abundance of individual achievements, who claimed he was the “Best ball striker of the golf ball in the world” until the day he passed away, never said he mastered the game.
A British Company, e Resourceful Coach, has developed a Yes or No Questionaire that I believe addresses every phase of the game.
Answer the following questions “yes or no” to nd out how high your golf IQ is about your own game.
1. Are you playing to your potential? If your answer is no, continue to questions 2-12.
2. Do you nd personal holes, shots, last shot with a certain club weigh on your mind?
3. Does a poor start dictate how you play for that day?
4. Do you nd yourself getting anxious or worried you’ll mess up a good round over the last few holes?
5. Do you talk negatively to yourself and sometimes voice it, about some shots, clubs, or about the way you are playing on certain days?
If your answer is YES to one or more of questions 2-5, you need help with your “thought process” when you are on the golf course.
6. Do you know know how the di erent weather conditions can control your distances on the course.

10. Do you believe in your swing technique for all shots?
11. Do you strike the ball better o grass than o a matt at the range?
12. Do you understand why your clubs have grooves and how the bounce on your clubs makes chipping or pitching easier?
13. Are you hitting consistent shots?

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
in the Central Square area, Thurn, a Cicero native, is excited about the new location and all it will offer the community.
“After spending several years in Central Square, I chose this location because I know women are busy running their households,” Thurn said. “I wanted to make it convenient for them to grab their groceries at Aldi and pop in for some retail therapy in the same trip,” she said. She also liked the idea of bringing a small business into the area. “I wanted to bring a sense of small shopping here where you are given one on one customer service and are not just a number through the door.”
Just like any boutique, inventory changes weekly, so if you see something you love, Thurn suggests grabbing it while you can.
But with new items frequently hitting the shelves, you’re bound to find something you’ll treasure.
New items can be viewed and purchases can be made through the website, treasurelilly.com, or follow Thurn on social media @treasurelillyboutique for the opportunity to grab items during her weekly unboxing specials.
The boutique is currently open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 11 to 7 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 10 to 4 p.m.
