“We will open on March 21 but our big grand opening event is March 24,” said owner Kaylen Speegle. “We will have swag bags so you can get some Lace Gypsy swag, some giveaways, we will (also) have discounts on upcoming parties that we offer.”
The Lace Gypsy is also more than just your average home boutique. The shop offers do it yourself (DIY) workshops to create special pieces for your home made from wood for signs, blocks and more. Monthly classes are available as well as private parties and birthday parties where you can create custom signs.
“Our workshops are a very easy, learnable process that you can make something that is high quality and you’re really proud of it and want to hang it up in your home,” said owner Stacy Gilley.

The boutique also sells other items besides farmhouse décor including vintage and unique items that can be added into any modern décor or any other style you could think of. Photo by Nicolette Howe
The cost ranges from $30-$45 depending on the size of the sign or what project is getting taught in the workshop that day. To sign up for workshops or private parties, you can go to the-lace-gypsy-home-boutique.myshopify.com and follow them on social media to see their monthly specials.
The new shop is located at 1479 W South Loop and is open Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
