In business since: 1998 (April 1 is my 14 years anniversary!)

How long have you lived in the area? I've lived in Tampa since 1970, and make my home in Seminole Heights. I can't imagine living anywhere else, Seminole Heights is where I will stay.

What do you wish everyone who came in your shop knew about you? Everyone should know that the shop is my life and my passion. It's not just a job or a way to make money, it totally consumes me and I like it that way!  I've never worked as hard but I love every minute of it — even when I have aches or complain ... I'm still very happy! It's so gratifying to hear someone say they love the store. There's nothing that pleases us more than helping a customer put together a look they want....whether it's a costume, special occasion outfit to wear, or decorating their space with pieces from the past.  Or, helping them find that one obscure or elusive thing that will fit their needs and wants.

Tell us a quick story about a time you provided awesome customer service: Recently we helped a couple create a total 1970s Disco experience in their home for a party.  Clothes and accessories, household decor items and even the disco ball ... we provided it all!
