| - Oh hey there Regal Find!
Aren't you just a gem of a gift shop!
And the fact that you're right next door to Bloom Bake Shop makes ya even sweeter!
It's not often (enough) I find myself in Middleton's downtown core, but when I'm there, I can't help but visit The Regal Find and hunt for treasure. The place is one third boutique, one third vintage shop and one third craft corner! That's right, you can contact them about hosting an event for a posse of peeps who like to get their craft on. But if you're better at spotting handmade treasures than making them, there's plenty to look at. And give yourself a decent amount of time, because there's items in every square inch of the space. High and low and tacked up on walls and stacked up in crates... there's lots to look at, and all items have a stellar story to go with them.
And it's for that reason I really dig the place. I have friends who have everything, so when I need to impress them with something giftable, I like to find things that have a bit more meaning than anything I'll eye over at the mall or a big-box retailer. And because owner Jessica has such a strong connection to the community, she can rattle off more info than you can fit on the gift card, but it'll warm your heart to hear her stories.
Last up, the place is a 20 minute drive from my abode east of the Capitol, and I mention this to simply say Middleton isn't far! Go. Discover. Support great local businesses. Then treat yo self with a cupcake next door!
