Where to begin, where to begin?

First of all, let me prepare you - this is a picture heavy post...but scroll all the way through...I have a surprise {GIVEAWAY!} at the end. 

Plus, let's be real here, people, you don't want to miss a single picture.

I promise!

This is hands down, I will tell everyone how awesome it is, no doubt about it,  one of my (new) favorite stores in Des Moines.  

My mom took me in for the first time on Saturday afternoon and it was love at first sight. 

  

It's called "Hinge" and it's owned by the sweetest lady, Kelsey. 

Although the store has only been open for a few months (September 1st, to be exact), you would never be able to tell.

It's so cozy...

and organized.  

Ok, so, let's get down to business.

Walk inside the doors and you will find a little bit of everything... 

Let's just look right on past that eye sore piece of hawkeye art...I kid, I kid!  Kind of.

but let's start with the most important:

holiday themed goodness 

(and you should know, I could live with Christmas decorations up in my house year round, if it weren't for my hubby...so I was floored when I walked into the store and was immediately greeted with "Christmas!")

Oh, and for anyone who's interested...go check out Small Business Saturday on November 24th.

I have a feeling it's going to be quite fantastic. 

clothes, jewelry, and accessories (i.e. purses, hats, scarves, etc.)

 handmade goodies

I may need this sign to put somewhere in my house...just sayin'.

 & antiques, vintage, and, well, junk turned treasure

Ohhh yes, yes, yes!

this owl was also calling my name...I mean, how easy is it to love a cute, white, ceramic animal?

...and don't even get me started on the cow pillows...I have a serious love for cows. Weird, I know!

Thanks G-Ma, for hanging with me while my mom took pictures!

 Thank you, Kelsey, for opening up your wonderful store and allowing me to come take pictures.  

I'll most definitely be back.

and...

Hooray!  You made it to the end.

Here's where it gets really fun...
