Tellico Village Welcomes Sirrabelle Boutique – Jewelry and Gifts
Tuesday, December 5th, 2023 | Uncategorized | No Comments
There’s a brand-new boutique store in the Village, Sirrabelle Boutique – Jewelry and Gifts. It’s located in Lakeside Plaza on the opposite corner to Little Italy, and it’s here just in time for your Christmas shopping!
This month, we interviewed Leah Stilson, the owner of Sirrabelle, to find out more about her new store.
Mountain Views: Tell us a little about yourself and why you started Sirrabelle.
Leah: It’s a really odd story. I was a corporate manager for the state of Illinois at HD Supply Facilities and also worked at Harbor Brewing Company brewing beer and serving. I have never NOT had two jobs. When COVID-19 happened, a third of our business at HD Supply diminished and they did major layoffs. I started making jewelry out of boredom when a friend said I need to get a hobby, as I am a workaholic. Prior to that I had never made one piece of jewelry. There was a hiring freeze in Chicago at the time and I couldn’t support myself, so I prayed to God asking him what I should do. One night his voice woke me from my sleep, saying to move to Tennessee. The next morning, I put my house up on the market. Three days later it sold, and 35 days later, I was in Tennessee. Once here, my mom pushed me to try and sell my jewelry. I was surprised that people began buying. I never knew I was artistic at all. I felt so humbled that people enjoyed my work. I slowly added small batch branded clothing and purses. I love the people in Tellico Village so when an opportunity arose, I thought a store was a good move.
MV: When did you open?
Leah: I am excited to say I opened the doors November 10th, so Sirrabelle Boutique is still brand new!
MV: What types of items do you have available?
Leah: I still sell Sirrabelle Jewelry, small batch and unique clothing, and purses, but I also added on some wonderful items that local artists create.
MV: Can you tell is a little about those other artists and their creations?
Leah: I am so honored to carry products from such talented artists. They make the store well-rounded. If a person is thinking of someone, they no longer have to run all the way to Vonore or Lenoir City to get a special card or gift. I have handmade pottery, fantastic high-quality wreaths and decor, mind blowing quilted items, homemade soaps, slate photo decor, and of course my favorite card maker, Rhoda’s Cards. Something for anyone.
MV: What are your hours?
Leah: Currently, I am open Tuesday through Saturday 11am to 5pm except for Wednesday. Wednesday’s hours are 1pm to 5pm, because I still go to the Tellico Village farmer’s market. It’s one of my favorite things to do each week!
Please make sure to stop by and support our new boutique shop in Tellico Village. You may find that perfect gift for Christmas and get a chance to see some amazing unique items!
