Pieces of Payne whimsical boutique

mike-piecesofpayneSan Diego artist and entrepreneur Mike Payne has opened a unique Bankers Hill boutique at 3152 Fifth Avenue (just south of Jimmy Carters) that offers whimsical decor and the cutest gifts in Uptown, but also novel ways to showcase memories with family keepsakes, heirlooms and treasured objects — creating usable objects for everyday life instead of being stored away and forgotten. Mike works closely with his clients to create one-of-a-kind items while striving to add warmth and a touch of whimsy to your homes.

Having spent most of his life in the restaurant industry, including 12 years in management, owner Mike Payne knows what it takes to not only run a business, but to exceed guest expectations with surprising touches. That’s why his boutique also serves as a gallery of functional art and fixtures.

Payne not only welcomes people to share their history with him, he also gives a portion of himself through the homey touches found around the store. Items inspired by his late father that hang on the walls, songs selected by Payne that play throughout the space and signature packaging with red ribbons that tie up every purchased gift all come together to create a place as warm and inviting as he is.

Pieces of Payne is located at 3152 Fifth Avenue in Bankers Hill. It’s a perfect time of year for browsing…stop by or visit www.piecesofpayne.com.
