A specialty boutique has taken over the reins at a historic Lewes farm and horse-racing stable.

Willow Marie & Co. opened its doors April 28 in the Coastal Highway location formerly occupied by Cape Henlopen Wicker. The store is the newest venture from owners of Salvaged at Five Points Brynn Byerly and Michelle Long, and friends Ashlee Lessner and Kelly Steele.

The store features two floors of women’s and children’s clothing and accessories, candles, home decor and furniture with a shabby chic vibe in the original home of historic Sandy Brae Stables, built in the 1920s. Owners are currently remodeling the historic stables to serve as a barn-themed wedding, bridal shower or corporate-event venue.

Willow Marie & Co. offers a range of bath and beauty products, including sugar scrubs and at-home aromatherapy spa treatments. Stylists are on hand to help customers pair clothing and accessories for flattering ensembles.

“We have bath truffles and shower bombs that you don’t find many places. It’s a place where all women can come to feel comfortable, important and pretty,” Byerly said.

Willow Marie & Co. also hosts a live Facebook segment every Wednesday at 10 a.m. to feature new products, sales and upcoming events.

Open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the store is on Route 1 at 18422 Coastal Highway, Lewes. For information, call 302-632-0831.
