I.D.E.A. Boutique – Inspired Designs by Elizabeth Anne was born in 2010 as a jewelry shop featuring natural and ethically-sourced gemstones. Since its inception, I.D.E.A.'s fearless leader, Elizabeth McComsey, has expanded the shop's inventory to include her own natural skincare products (Frankin' Beautiful and IDEA Skincare), vegan handbags, essential oils, beeswax food wraps, reusable straws and vegan candles.
Recently, you may have noticed that I.D.E.A. was closed for an extended period of time for renovations — from April until October, to be exact. This seven-month period allowed Elizabeth and her team time to completely renovate the space and lean into the business's eco-forward mission and values.
Elizabeth says, "The renovations have really allowed us to lean into our eco-friendly values through the additions of a beautiful moss wall and other natural design concepts. It really all started with renovating the back end of the space, but then we figured that we may as well renovate the rest of the space since we were already closed."
Elizabeth goes on to explain that bringing natural and eco-inspired design and decor to the forefront really places emphasis on her goals that have been there from the very beginning. She says, "My goal has always been to provide ethically-sourced, environmentally-friendly products. We have always worked towards this, and now our space truly reflects it."
In addition to the new renovations, I.D.E.A. has several new products that are available just in time for all of your holiday shopping needs. These products include jewelry made with moss agate stones, expanded skincare products made right in the shop, (like a new morning facial moisturizer) and unique stemware.
Visit I.D.E.A. on the Historic Medina Square, right between Medina Sports Cards and Hershey’s Barber Shop, at 108 W. Washington St. to see the revamped space and to get some holiday shopping done. You can also shop online and subscribe to the I.D.E.A. newsletter at IdeaOnlineCatalog.com.
