Such a quality curation of vintage and modern. The owner Sarah is one of the sweetest people! If you can’t make it in to shop, their online store and Instagram has everything available for purchase which is super convenient. Highly recommend!

I just visited Pretty Penny on College Avenue in the Elmwood neighborhood and bought a beautiful little necklace. The owner has great taste, the items are in excellent condition, and the store is bright and fun. Visit the store and buy something special for you or someone you love.
