Country Elegance in Stanwood is a store filled with goodies of all types. Whether it’s antique furniture, gourmet foods or baby gift, the store carries a little bit of everything.
Four owners share the space. Each owner sells items they made by hand or items they like, making the selection diverse and abundant – so abundant that the unassuming store hides six rooms inside its walls.
Country Elegance is at 8705 271st NW, Stanwood. For information, call 360-629-6950.
