There’s a new cat on Main Street in Tuttle.
The Leopard Lily, an upscale boutique, offers Tuttle residents a wide variety of merchandise, including fresh flowers, antiques, home decor and more.
Owners Susan Robinson, formerly of the Redbud Cottage in Minco, and her daughter-in-law Tia Durham, opened the new shop on Sept. 8.
In addition to a selection of merchandise, the shop also features 15 booth spaces for those who want to display their wares.
“We started with 13, but we had so many requests for booths, we added two more,” said Robinson, who said business has been good so far.
The rented spaces include a diverse array of items, including funky jewelry in Shana Witt’s “Small Town Bling” booth and Neoma McKinney’s “Homemade by Neoma” booth offers culinary delights like bread-and-butter jalapenos, relishes and Robinson recommends the pickled peaches.
“They are so good,” she says.
Robinson closed the Rosebud Cottage after starting to work full-time at the Post Office and Durham works full-time as a vet tech in Oklahoma City.
“It’s been a challenge to get going with both of us working full time, but it’s been a labor of love,” Robinson said. “It’s all in the timing - now we’re ready and we have more merchandise coming in all the time. We’ll have this place filled to the brim I’m sure.”
Because fresh flowers are such an important part of the business, which will offer flowers for weddings, funerals, etc., the two women wanted to incorporate the name of a flower in the name of their new shop.
“We just played with it,” said Robinson. “And I love leopard.”
And so the Leopard Lily was born.
