Opened in the fall of 2002, The Victorian Cottage Shoppe has expanded its original focus on Victorian-themed home décor to include a wide selection of women's clothing and accessories. The owner, Vicki Schmidt, was kind enough to discuss some of her business' products with indianolatownsquare.com.

Of the variety of items The Victorian Cottage Shoppe boasts, Vicki highlighted one of her favorite products as the Bean Pod candles. Made in Iowa, the candles are made of 100% real soy wax making them environmentally friendly. Bead Pod candles come in several different scents and allow the owner to mix and match scents to create a personalized fragrance. Additionally, the candles can be burned or melted, and if purchasing the beads, the user can arrange them in pleasing designs.

Another unique product Vicki has available is the Vera Bradley line of cloth purses. Made in Indiana, the purses come in several types (from large totes all the way down to wallets) and designs. They have become increasingly popular among college students, with the number one selling location in Iowa at the University of Iowa bookstore. And it isn't just purses that will appeal to the college crowd: a large supply of instant coffees, cocoas and soups await the student enjoying dorm life.

If you can't get enough of Vicki's shop, there's a rewards program in place. Every purchase has the potential to earn points towards free gift certificates. So when you're finished buying present for family and friends, you have the extra money to buy that Bean Pod candle you've been eyeing.

Whether you're a shopper on a mission or simply want to browse, The Victorian Cottage Shoppe will have something you can't live without.

They offer an array of delicious meals.  Want a sandwich?  They have got it, pick from their many breads especially for you.  They are famous for their meatball sandwich on a hoagie sub that Greg bakes fresh himself, everyday.  The soup is homemade, including a soup of the day which is different everyday, and don't forget the scrumptious bread bowls to combine the sandwich and soup together.

If the meal itself isn't enough, don't worry, they also make some amazing cookies!  There are many kinds made fresh daily but if they don't have the ones you want, they will make special orders.

When it's still too early for lunch come in and pick up a mouth-watering cinnamon roll or Danish before you head off to work or class.

It's not just the sandwiches and desserts that will keep you coming back for more but also their laid-back, friendly atmosphere.  I guarantee you will feel at home and with a sense of humor like Greg's, there will never be a dull moment.

Owner ­Melanie Abbott has been running the local coffee shop for nearly three years and recently moved the business. In June 2007, Uncommon Grounds opened in its new location at 111 W. Salem Ave. Abbott has been pleased with the move.

“The new location is a lot bigger,” said Abbott. “There is a lot more space overall.”

When it comes to working on The Square, Abbott is proud of the relationships she and her staff have built over the years through their friendly customer service.

“I like getting to know all of the people on the square, and we try to get to know all of the regulars,” Abbott said.
