Hingham Woman Set to Open New Business on Thursday

Longtime Hingham resident Mary Wheeler, who once lived on lower Main Street, is excited to open her new business on North Street this week.

Wheeler will open Pear Tree Hill Décor on Thursday. The store will feature antique and vintage furnishing and decorated accessories as well as a line of fine handcrafted topiaries.  

"I want to be know as the topiary lady," Wheeler said. "I will have real ones and preserved ones."

Although she will have a variety of handcrafted topiaries, Wheeler said her main focus is antiques. Pear Tree Hill Décor will offer Italian, Chinese, Indonesian, and American fine arts that Wheeler believes will touch the imagination of area residents and decorators.

"I have unique items,"  she said. "There's a little bit of something for everybody. I have soaps, candles, and minituare topiaries and linens."

Wheeler said shoppers looking for wedding presents and anniversary gifts and anyone looking for home decorations should shop at the new Hingham Square store.

Wheeler is no stranger to success. Prior to launching Pear Tree Hill Décor, she founded Wheeler Publishing, Inc., then one of the nation’s largest publishing firms of international best sellers in large-print format. Wheeler sold the firm in 2002. Earlier in her career, she ran an importing company that focused on fine English prints.

She got the idea of opening the Pear Tree Hill Décor after she sold hand craft decorations, and topiaries from her home before Christmas and built a reputation around Hingham.  Wheeler also has been collecteing antiques since she was young.

"If you buy something from my store, everything is beautifully embellished," she said.  "Everything’s packaged as a gift.  It’s incredibly decorated.”

Pear Tree Hill Décor will be open from Wednesdays-Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The store location will be at 106 North Street next to Hingahm Liquors . The store can be reached at mwheeler@peartreehilldecor.com . Pear Tree Hill Décor is reachable on the Web at www.peartreehilldecor.com .
