Where My Heart Leads Thrifty Boutique “offers the most impressive collection of women’s thrifty apparel and accessories.”
Everything sold and/or donated goes to help our mission of sharing God’s Promises to women,” said owner Jannie Hartter. She and her daughter Katelynn Monday run the boutique, which has a focus on women’s ministry for the area.
Hartter opened the boutique in September of 2020 and then expanded this past September with Hope and Grace Bridal & Formalwear by WMHL.
“Now here we are three years later opening Hope and Grace Bridal & Formals by WMHL. It’s been amazing!” Hartter said, adding that it was “God who had blessed her life.”
Opening the Bridal and Formal wear shop had been a dream of hers since 2023. She “thanks God” for leading her down this path.
“The Lord spoke to me while I was sitting taking a break during our prom expo in 2023. As I was looking around at all the beautiful prom dresses and thanking God for them, He spoke so clearly to me and said wedding dresses will be next. I honestly had no idea what to expect but I have always walked in faith and obedience, and the rest is God’s story to write. It reminds me of the scripture John 10:27. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I am truly blessed by God’s goodness. I’m so thankful for our community and all they do to help us support women in walks of life,” said Hartter.
Where My Heart Leads Thrifty Boutique is located at 247 East Central Avenue in Downtown LaFollette and can be reached by calling 423.494.6417. The boutique is straight across from Builtwell Bank. (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED-02/06/2026-6AM)
