I greet everyone who comes in and then I let them look .”
• • • Though Young said it was a bit daunting to open a new business during the early days of a pandemic , she says it ’ s been successful so far . “ People are coming in ,” she said . “ It ’ s been a steady stream .” She said she hopes that continues as she thinks it ’ s important for customers to have shopping opportunities beyond the internet . “ I ’ m old school ,” she said . “ I want to see things ( in person ), to hear it and touch it . “ I want to provide that space for people .” And though she might not have taken the traditional route for a “ gallery ,” she said she ’ s pleased with what she ’ s created . “ There ’ s a hodgepodge of things you use , things you admire and things you get for gifts ,” she said . “ It ’ s an allaround one-stop shop with everything from a buck to $ 10,000 .” It ' s that variety — though not advertised — that Young said draws people in . “ I just really like it when people pop in and say , ‘ Oh , my gosh , I didn ’ t know this was here ,'" she said . " Even if they don ’ t buy anything , they remember it and they come back .”
