Grand Opening Outside The Box Gift Shop

My name is Michelle LaRocque and I am the owner and curator for our eclectic and unique shop. I have worn many different hats over the years from cosmetology to retail, and spent many years climbing the corporate ladder. However, I have always been a creator, making natural soaps and body products for friends, family, and craft shows.

Then, my brother, who hooked me up with my first gig, underwent a basic back surgery and passed away from a massive stroke. After this loss, I realized that life was too short and precious. I decided to walk away from corporate America, and open a brick-and-mortar gift shop.

Our shop showcases other small, local makers, and we carry everything from handmade, refinished, and repurposed products, to woman’s apparel.

We hope you will come and check us out. You’ll receive the most personalized, fun service we can give. See you soon!
