Calling her ware a collection of things she finds pretty, Maia said the store offers vintage china, furniture, jewelry and more. The inventory is still growing as Maia heads out to local estate sales looking for new goods to stock the shop.
According to the article in the Forest Leaves, residents in the area are as excited as the owner about the new shop opening. Mia told the paper she decided to open on Oak Park's east side in response to resident's questions about why there isn't more business development on the east side of town.
