Ironton In Bloom presented its business of the month award to Cardinal Wishes Antiques for May.

This past Sunday, the business celebrated its one-year anniversary in downtown Ironton, located at 311 Vernon Street. Cardinal Wishes specializes in antiques, shabby chic and custom specialties.

Owner Denise Coleman said she named the business after her “Mamaw,” who always told her to “blow a kiss and make a wish at cardinals.”

She added that opening the business is her “dream come true,” and that she is very happy with her customers, both local and as far away as North Carolina.
