Spectacular!! Im going to go back every time I’m in Milwaukee. I spent hours inside trying to pick out the few things I could buy but wow it was hard to pick! So much incredible art and gifts for yourself n loved ones. I got some of the gemstone rings. The first night they turned my fingers green but after using alcohol hand sanitizer for some reason it made that reaction go away entirely and now I have no problems and I’m obsessed w the rings!! Owners are beautiful people and I am so glad this was my first stop.

In fey tradition your never suppose to tell your real name because it has power. Now imagine my suprise when I found out the proprietress's name is Lilo, which is Hawaiian for Expense, expenditure; to spend; to lose; to buy or sell, apt name no. The collective is made up of 30 local artists ranging from the cutest bike shirt I have seen an ages. a vast array of amazing smelling bar soaps and lotions and oils. fabulous pieces of jewelry both queer centric to the fun and funky. Personally, I loved the jewel encrusted headbands/crowns that sell for insane prices on etsy but was there ranging from 30 to 36$. Made personally by lilo herself a true artist. Making it a family affair, her father also sells the coolest bags. With a pic of his welcoming face next to them. Currently, there is a cash n carry sale, and I got some wonderful art by Rachel Hughes to decorate my new place. So shop,explore, and find something u can adore.

I really enjoyed this boutique shop. I found many wonderful lotions and oils to pick from in the shop. I bought some sage at a reasonable price and would highly recommend it as just a great place to stop at. There were books as well and shirts worth buying. I also liked that the lotions were all natural as well.
