Come and visit us in our new brick and mortar...101 N. Vermilion, Danville, IL. This first month has been crazy but in a good way.

Be sure to hop over and follow the store Grace & Lou's Sweet Repeats to keep up to date with all of the vendors in the shop.

Our first month has been fantastic, more than we could have imagined! Thank you all for being so supportive and positive, we love being in Downtown Danville. We will have our first event coming up on September 12. Hope to see you there!

Over 10 years ago we started looking for a brick and mortar, but of course life happens and jobs take over. But we are thrilled to announce that we purchased Sweet Repeats. Our new store is Grace & Lou's Sweet Repeats located in downtown Danville at 101 N. Vermilion St., Danville, IL. New name but still the little girl from Murray Street Hill. Still bringing unique, vintage items along with fabulous statement pieces. There are three levels filled with vendors...clothing, vintage, artisan and new home decor. Join us on our new page. Exciting things to come! ~ Diane

Early Sunday morning…let’s do this!

It feels like forever since I’ve shared anything with you all. We haven’t been vacationing or propping up our feet while watching “Real Housewives” and eating chocolate. We’ve been super busy working on the new shop, curating some cool new pieces and of course handling all of that pesky legal business. We start moving in on Sunday!

A new week…more projects. Who else is getting excited?!

It's been a very busy time here at Grace & Lou. We have completely moved out of Shoppes at Charlotte's. We are not set up in new shop yet but have been working on other things in the shop. Gave the dressing room a facelift, working on the business end of things and will be doing other renovations. Can't wait for you all to stop in.

I’m a firm believer in dream it, believe it, manifest it. Like most things I do, this prize box started as a simple idea to buy you lunch… and then it took on a life of its own — a very French life! And fair warning… more goodies may still be added.
Inside the box, you’ll find a darling Bucket List notebook, a pen to inspire your manifesting, and if you’ve seen Emily in Paris, you’ll love the Emily in Paris Cookbook. We’d also love to treat you to lunch at Charlotte's Coffee & Tea Shop! Tucked inside the adorable coin purse, you’ll find a $25 gift card.

Grab a bite to eat, relax at one of the outdoor tables, and start dreaming up your bucket list. Imagine yourself sitting at a charming café in a destination you’ve always wanted to visit. Of course, we included some macarons to help set the mood… ooh la la! And the cute keepsake box is perfect for holding memories from all your future adventures.

Thank you for supporting my small business. Without you, Grace & Lou wouldn’t be possible.

Exciting News from Grace & Lou!
For quite some time, we have been searching for a brick-and-mortar location for Grace & Lou. Just when we started to think the right opportunity might never come along, one knocked—and we answered!

We are thrilled to announce that we are the new owners of Sweet Repeats! We will be moving into the space at the end of July and couldn't be more excited for this new chapter.
What started as a small idea centered around family has grown into something we could have never imagined over the past 12 years. We are incredibly grateful for everyone who has supported us along the way.

The story feels a little full-circle. We became vendors at North Street Sweet Repeats shortly after the original owner sold the business. The other day, Jerry reminded me of something I said on our very first day there: "If only I had known they were selling, I would have loved to have bought it."

Maybe it's silly, but now I have to wonder... did I manifest this?
As we begin this exciting new adventure, Sweet Repeats will continue to offer the things you know and love—a wonderful mix of vendors featuring vintage treasures, antiques, collectibles, home décor, and unique gift items on the main and lower levels, along with our clothing vendors upstairs.

We are honored to carry on the Sweet Repeats tradition while adding a little Grace & Lou charm along the way. Thank you to Shelly and Randy for this opportunity. Thank you for supporting our dream. We can't wait to welcome you through the doors and share what's ahead!

❤️Diane, Jerry and the entire Grace & Lou family
