“We opened and we are happy to be back!” was Chrissy Lugibihl’s greeting to the Icon shortly after 9 a.m. on Tuesday.

Lugibihl is manager of Bluffton’s iconic Et Cetera Shop, which closed for one week, giving its loyal customers the jitters during that period. While closed, the merchandise moved from 111 S. Main St. to the greatly-expanded location at 327 N. Main St.

A Sunday afternoon “sneak peek” raised $1,200 for Mennonite Central Committee, as shoppers were able to purchase $25 tickets for that event.
