Last October, my husband Josh and I
moved to Cloverdale in hopes to be a part of town that was going through
revitalization and growth. We felt called to help facilitate this change in any
way we possibly could. Some of our fears with moving to a small town were a
lack of coffee shops,
restaurants and shopping locations. As you can see from
our blog our fear was wrong. Cloverdale and Putnam County as a whole have so
many amazing places to visit if you are willing to find them.
My personal favorite shopping destination
I discovered was Crickets. Crickets is a women and children’s boutique in
Greencastle. Shop owner Lauren Smoot has created one the cutest places in
downtown Greencastle. Her space is extremely clean, the clothing is fashion
forward as well as affordable, and she is willing to help you with any styling
you could need while at the shop. Crickets also features local artists’ work in
the boutique. She loves to collaborate with local people to bring you a truly
unique shopping experience.
Lauren named her boutique Crickets
after her childhood nickname. Her grandmother would take her shopping when she
was a young girl and call her Cricket. As an adult she uses not only the
nickname Grammie gave her, but also the passion she instilled in her as a child
to make women and children feel beautiful and trendy at an affordable cost.
I
love this story because so much of my story comes from the love of my
grandparents and to see Lauren use her love for her grandmother to create a
locally owned shop is inspiring.
When you come to C Bar C make it a
point to drive to Crickets, talk to Lauren, and do some shopping. Only 15
minutes from C Bar C located at 21 S Indiana St Greencastle, IN 46135.
