Little Miss Emma, age 7, from Pewaukee, Wisconsin, has been shopping at Secret Sisters Boutique for three years now, yes that means she was four years old when she became a fan! Her Great Aunt informed me that they come up on vacation every y...

On a personal note, the best of intentions in doing a weekly blog were dampened by events that caught us off guard these last few weeks. We've had friends and family going through major surgeries, thankfully coming through with flying colors. We have a Grandma dealing with a terrible health diagnosis. We have beautiful baby girls turning one year old soon. We have beautiful little girls making First Communion. We have beautiful big girls going to Prom.

If you visited our store then and have visited our store recently, you no doubt have noticed a few changes. We began as a consignment store and have grown into a boutique that spec...
