Batesville has a variety of unique and different downtown shopping places for everyone headed this way.  Today I wandered into a business and met the owner, an old friend, Raquel Biervliet, and am thrilled to see her with her own thriving business downtown!

The children’s boutique specializes in sizes 0-16, the difficult ages and sizes to find to clothe children.  She also carries a line of maternity clothing, certainly a necessity in every town.  Diaper bags and other mom/baby necessities are also in stock.  What a jewel of a store for parents or grandparents or good friends!

The Small & Hip Children’s Boutique is located at 148 E. Main Street, Batesville, AR  72501, next door to Randy’s Music Store (a good friend of mine).  You may email her at small-hip@hotmail.com, and follow her on Facebook.  Be sure and visit Raquel’s boutique, I assure you she will make you feel welcome and assist you in any way she can, she is good people!  Ginger
