Mother-daughter duo Miranda Bentley and Larissa Boston will start the shopping season off with a bang on Sunday during downtown Calhoun’s annual Christmas Open House.
Bentley, who co-owns the shop with her mother, said the store, located at 116 Court Street, will celebrate the open house event from 1 p.m. until 6 p.m on Sunday. Everything in the store will be buy one, get one half off. The store, now in its eighth year of operations, will also feature a pop-up beauty counter.
“The pop-up counter will have healthy, environmentally-friendly makeup,” Bentley said.
Cotton and Twine Boutique sells women’s clothing in the sizes XS to 2X. They also offer gifts, everything from candles to jewelry and accessories. Bentley said the items they sell are completely unique to the store.
“I truly believe we have great customer service. You have to be there for customers. They’re the reason we’re open, so I love to give back by getting unique items and vendors in,” said Bentley.
Cotton and Twine opened in 2011. The first boutique was located in Dalton, where Bentley said she and her mother saw the need for a women’s boutique. After a year, she said they were “blessed” to open up a store here in Calhoun and later in Chattanooga.
“I had a little one in 2018, so now we have the Calhoun store and our website,” Bentley said. “I wanted to take a step back to spend more time with my family and taking that step has allowed me to focus on making this store as great as it can be.”
Making the store the best it can be involves great customer service, being there for customers, and featuring unique items and vendors. It also means being true to Calhoun and what people here like.
“People love our story and appreciate that we are from here. Our roots are here,” Bentley said.
