Teacups and Tadpoles opened in The Woodlands in 2004, offering a variety of baby gifts and clothing options. Owner Kay Byrd said she tries to carry boutique-style clothing not found in a department store and also offer clothes that are age-appropriate for children and babies.

The boutique is set to get more Christmas outfits by December. Colorful Christmas dresses with matching accessories, such as headbands and gloves, are part of the boutique’s selection, with clothing available for girls between the ages of premature to 10 months and for boys between the ages of premature to 4T.

Rosie Diaz, owner of RED Ink Boutique, said the motto for her boutique is “trendy and not pricy.” The shop offers a variety of clothing, accessories, shoes and bags. Diaz often travels widely to find the latest trends. The boutique also features handmade items, such as leather necklace message pouches. The pouches are used to hold special messages and prayers inside while still acting as a fashionable accessory.

Owner Vic Page said his family-owned liquor store provides a personal touch as customers receive a one-on-one experience with either the owner himself or a family member when they come into the shop. The Shenandoah liquor store offers a variety of spirits, wines, beers and cigars for purchase.

One of the products offered at the store is a Bruichladdich Black Art 1990 Islay Single Malt Scotch whisky, Edition 04.1. The Scotch whisky is distilled, matured and bottled as a product of Scotland and aged 25 years.
