Published:

Before opening my store, my husband and I stumbled into a 1930’s stationery and record store that was cleaning out inventory (stationery for me, records for him). I worked on filling a trunk up with generations-old ephemera, greeting cards, wrapping paper and decorations. Once the trunk was full, I felt I had enough to open a shop (slightly off, but a romantic notion).
