CHENEY - The first Us By The Moon shop, a children's clothing boutique, opened at 502 First Street on July 15.
Us By The Moon was started in 2020 by Alyssa Britton, 34, when she decided to start making cloth masks for local hospitals.
She and a few other volunteers made and donated these masks for over a year, until they stopped in 2021.
Afterward, Alyssa said that she had so much left-over material from the project, it only made sense to her to make other products.
"So I started making high-quality bows for children and selling them online," Britton said, "then we started making other apparel as well."
After having a successful start online, Britton has opened her first brick-and-mortar shop, selling apparel, toys, and other items intended for newborns and children ages one to 12 years.
"I wouldn't have even considered opening a shop anywhere else, Cheney is my home and I love this community," Britton said.
Breanna Weidert, a long-time friend, drove two hours to attend the grand opening. "I've been buying this stuff for years; I have to have it all!" She said.
