Describe my business in 3 words.

Chic. Cheerful. Curated

If your business had a theme song, what would it be?

“Happy” by Pharrell Williams

What’s your business’s unofficial motto?

Be kind to everyone.

What’s your dream customer reaction?

“When they say, ‘This place is so cute and amazing, and I’m coming back every week.’”

What do you do differently than others?

We add items almost every single day. We price right and fairly because I want my inventory in people’s homes, not in my shop.

What’s the smallest detail your customers notice—or that you hope they notice? 

Almost everyone says that my shop looks different EVERY time they come in. The “finds” are endless.

What’s something my business could not run without?

My customers! By shopping local, they help our community and keep our lovely lights on. We aim to please!

What’s the unsung hero of your business?

All my workers who are dedicated and detailed and work around the clock—one step in and we are a team. Also the amount of mail—I cover every inch of my walls.

What’s a word or phrase customers often use to describe your business—and do you agree? 

That it is cozy, curated and delightful. I do. My whole world has always been about making people feel wanted and comfortable—always. I adore people!

What is your most popular item?

Hard to say one item because we sell so many. So many items—from jewelry to great art, clothing, goods, stamps, clothes + dishes—you get the picture!
