“We are thrilled to celebrate Sparkelly’s one-year milestone,” says Harrison Butler, Co-Executive Director of the Hillsboro Downtown Partnership. “Small businesses like Sparkelly Home Boutique are the backbone of our downtown community, and their success is our success. We invite everyone to join us in celebrating this wonderful achievement.”

In an interview, Melvyn Martinez, owner of Sparkelly Home Boutique, shared his journey and love for the Hillsboro community:

“Hillsboro became our home about 8 years ago, we fell in love with the vibrant community, the small-town vibe, yet it has a lot to offer. As a family, we enjoyed the events that take place in Downtown Hillsboro and we love the diversity of the community as well as the culinary varieties offered. It’s just ‘Home’ so we knew it was the perfect place to share our business with a community we already loved so much.”

In February of 2022, Melvyn and his wife Kelly took action on their long-time dream of being business owners. They began by curating and refurbishing home decor and furniture, selling their products online and at markets. Their journey included trial and error, which eventually led to the opening of Sparkelly Home Boutique. In June of 2023, they moved to their current location on 3rd Avenue in Historic Downtown Hillsboro, marking the true beginning of Sparkelly Home Boutique and their integration into the community.

At Sparkelly Home, customers will find a carefully curated selection of pre-loved and new items, including home decor and refurbished quality furniture. Sparkelly Home Boutique is unique in that it balances vintage and new items, offering a pleasant experience that blends nostalgic memories with trendy, contemporary pieces.

Melvyn continued, “We are thankful for all the support we have received from our community, other business owners, the City of Hillsboro, and from Hillsboro Downtown Partnership. Everyone has been a vital component in this amazing journey as business owners in this great city of Hillsboro.”

This event is open to the public, and all community members are encouraged to attend and show their support for Sparkelly Home Boutique. It’s a great opportunity to connect with neighbors, support local businesses, celebrate the vibrant spirit of Downtown Hillsboro, and find some brilliant home decor.
