A charming new business opens on Church Street South

Mauve & Stone Charm Boutique owner Mackenzie Fierling.

Mauve & Stone Charm Boutique was recently opened at 16 Church St. S by young entrepreneur Mackenzie Fierling.

Fierling, who has lived in St. Marys most of her life, is a kind person who likes to help people. She has been practicing reflexology at Alliance Wellness Centre and Deep Head Massage for over a year but still felt like something was missing.

One to always listen to her dreams, Fierling was looking for something else and dreamed one day of owning a jewellery store that helps people feel good about themselves. With some encouragement from her family, she decided to pursue that dream.

The process of trying to find a perfect space with the right price and size, and finding suppliers started in January. Eight months later, the charm boutique opened its doors.

“There is nothing like it in this area that is similar. This is just a different way of helping people,” Fierling said.

Fierling decided to use Mauve in the business name as there are so many shades, just like there are so many different charms. With almost 200 charms available, all are unique. The word stone was used in reference to Stonetown.

Anyone who comes to the boutique can find a necklace or bracelet and whatever charms speak to them. Customers can then sit at one of the tray stations and put it all together. The setup is perfect for birthday parties, girls’ nights and mother/daughter trips, but it is also perfect for those out shopping who want to pop in and treat themselves.

Business hours are currently Wednesday to Friday, 12-6 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., but Fierling is flexible if a group requires a time outside of those hours.

The pricing is consistent as necklaces and bracelets are the same price, and all the charms are the same price.

It is a lovely spot and a great addition to our town. Go check it out and see what charms catch the eye.
