For as long as she can remember, Putnam County resident Kimberly Wells has wanted to make people feel good. 

After marrying her husband, Greg, in 2018, she decided to ramp up helping people feel good by starting Shakin it to the Moon and Back Crafts and Boutique. 

"We started in the living room doing lives on Facebook, then moved to the barn and opened a section of that where you could actually come in and shop," Wells told The Putnam County Post.

And, then Covid hit, forcing Wells and her husband to sell their farmhouse and move to a lake house, where they moved an Amish built garage and put the boutique in there. 

"We offered private shopping trips for individuals or groups if they wanted to shop privately during Covid. It was a big hit. I have always had a passion for fashion and love helping women feel good about themselves no matter their size," Wells said. 

In order to do that, Wells said she wanted to carry sizes for all women and make her boutique a "one stop shop."
"We carry sizes small to 3xl, Judy Blue Jeans, shoes, Myra bags and a small selection of jewelry," Wells said. 

And, Wells continues to do what she set out to do in her living room -- make a positive impact in the lives of women. 

"I enjoy meeting people and turning visits into wonderful friendships, and let me tell you, I have met some amazing women in the last five years. If I can help any woman feel good about the way they look when they leave our Boutique, then I have accomplished my reason," she said. 

Wells will have her boutique in Atlanta at the Atlanta New Earth Festival Sept. 23-24 as this will be their fourth year attending. In addition, she will head to Mansfield on the hilltop Oct. 13-22 for the fifth year there and she admits she has added a booth in Bridgeton this year. 

"Starting in September, we will have our trailer turned into a traveling boutique and it will also have a hat bar too," Wells said. 

Currently, the boutique is open only on Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.at 11494 Pocahontas Drive, Greencastle, and they offer private shopping. 

"If you want to set up a time just shoot me a message. Please feel free to join our page so you can see all that we do," Wells said.
