Owners are twins, Dianna Brydges-Lachapelle and Donna Carpenter.
Dianna has always been the antique person, she started collecting mainly furniture when she was 13. On late evenings she loves to do crafting while her husband, Gilbert, is a furniture re-finisher. They still compete to see who can find the most unique item(s) at the best price.
Donna has always crafted and has a business that makes dignity bags for the disabled.
Luckily they both have husbands that tolerate their craft rooms.
About the Store, and the Ladies That Run It
The store was opened August 2018. This is an inside market which focuses on supporting artistic entrepreneurs. Mixed in is a selection of unique yesteryear treasures and collectibles. There is some clothing, especially plus size woman’s clothes.
This market is always changing with new items coming daily. They always love new vendors. Vendors don’t have to man their booths, there is always a store manager present. All they have to do is keep their booth stocked. If it doesn’t suit the vendor, it is only a month to month lease. And there is no commission unless they are doing consignment.
