Upon entering through the doors of Ivy and Sage Lifestyle Co., your eyes will lead you into a shop of curiosities where you are instantly met with towering mushrooms, garlands of fall leaves, and the animated expressions of jack o' lanterns. It might still be in the triple digits outside, but inside is a golden landscape of Autumnal hues and scents. Fall has arrived.
If you find yourself lingering as you shop, that may well be the idea. This is not just a store for furniture, accessories, decor, and gifts, though it certainly does all that. This is an experience. Owners, Jill and Thomas Herman, are mother and son who left the corporate world to do something in which they could support the talents of others. In addition to the Ivy and Sage brand of products there are about 15 local vendors, as well as hundred of small businesses from across the nation represented.
The ornate and creative displays are built by a number of designers and artists that work in concert to create a magical world of everything Fall during the five days that Ivy and Sage shut down. However, all of what you see had been carefully planned for a year before that. There are no neatly lined shelves here with strict aisles. Instead, the pieces seem to cascade forth, one leading to the next, as you travel through meandering pathways. Thomas says this lends itself to 'the thrill of the treasure hunt'.
For the last four years Ivy and Sage has been passionate about inspiring seasonal styling with customer care. They have even become a destination for many of their original products and displays. A place to explore and experience for yourself. They are open seven days a week with the exception of resets and holidays.
