Our Story

This unique shopping adventure started with hopeful dreaming many, many years ago by two local ladies ~ Sheryl Laessle Harvey and Mary Hill Skiles.   Both Sheryl and Mary are natives of  Scottsbluff, Nebraska.
 
Sheryl and Mary have fond memories of growing up in the Scottsbluff Valley, particularly shopping in historic downtown Scottsbluff with their families when they were young children.  At that time, downtown was the hub of this county for shopping!  They have raised their children here and  have enjoyed long-term careers in the community ~ Sheryl as a teacher for Scottsbluff Public Schools and Mary as a Registered Dietitian/Diabetes Educator with Regional West Physician’s Clinic.
 
 
These two ladies have always loved shopping at unique venues since they were young college roommates!  As the years progressed, they often talked about opening a store after they finished raising their families and retired from their chosen careers!  Who knew that it would really happen!!
 
 
In 2015, Sheryl contacted Mary and said, “I am ready to retire, are you serious about opening an antique store?’ And so it began! They jumped in head first to a whirlwind of activity to finish their careers, to search for the perfect business location for their dream store, to learn how to write a business plan and to put everything in place that was necessary to run a successful business!
 
 
They are so excited to be a part of downtown Scottsbluff!
