Karen's
Beautiful Things began in 1986 as Karen's Boutique, located
in the quaint Reynolda Village in Winston-Salem, NC, adjacent to
Wake Forest University. The small but charming boutique was filled
with exquisite lingerie and romantic dresses, reminiscent of the
Victorian Era.
At that time, Karen was a flight attendant for the
former Piedmont Airlines. On one of her flights, she met her future
husband, Bobby Holder, who owned an Art and Antiques business. They
married in 1991, merged their businesses, and relocated to historic
Dilworth - a suburb of Charlotte. The business was renamed "Karen's
Beautiful Things", inspired by many customers who came into
the shop and commented on how BEAUTIFUL everything was.
They
soon outgrew this location and the business moved to McMullen Creek
Marketplace south of Charlotte. After 3 more years, they moved to
the Park 51 Shopping Center south of Charlotte.
Karen's Beautiful Things is proud
to announce that they have moved to a Beautiful and Exciting
space. They are now centrally located in the Arboretum Shopping
Center. (see Map below) They still
have all the Beautiful Things, Clothing, and Accessories that Karen's
is known for, as well as delightful vignettes with new Home Decor
and Furnishings, Antique Furniture, and Home Accessories from as
far away as England and the Netherlands. Karen and Bobby stay busy
on frequent buying trips, always finding unique and unusual pieces!
