Ruthie’s Boarding Room opened this week at 220 N. Main St., Ada, and it is filled with a wide assortment of gift shop-related items provided by several vendors.

Making the shop opening official was an Ada Area Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting on Wednesday morning.

Shoppers will find everything from primitives, antiques, designer clothes, florals, candles and many homemade items.

The shop is owned by Stephanie Cotterman of North Baltimore, along with Karen DeLong of Dola. The two have a booth of items in Mt. Victory’s Touch of Country. They also participate in many craft shows in the area.

Helping out are Stephanie’s daughters, Beth Cole and Emily Hopson.

The shop is named after Stephanie’s mother, Ruth, who made a career out of sewing and making candles.

“We are very happy to be in Ada,” said Stephanie. “We have many vendors and shapes are filling up fast.”
