Co-Owner: Gypsy Stars Darlings
Wanderer in chief. Our leader in all things style and vintage.
I am a wife and a mother of a fabulous, 5 year old, who is already learning just because something has years on it doesn't mean it’s old or even out of date. I STILL REMEMBER SHOPPING IN MY NONNIE’S CLOSET. SHE KEPT EVERYTHING. I inherited my love for clothes and from my Nonnie and my mother! I would find my Nonnie’s blouses that were 25 years old and refashion them into vests or tie them up to match my current style. I always loved that each piece had its own story, connected to a memory. My love of all things old doesn’t just stop with clothes. Old furniture and housewares fill the nooks and crannies of my home and heart. My mom passed on her love of nostalgia to me. She has always shown me the value that older pieces have. The stories that they tell. From my Grannie’s antique Duncan Phyfe dining table, old afghans she crocheted with love, or tea sets passed down, all of these have a special place in our lives. ALL WERE MADE WITH CRAFTSMANSHIP. MADE WITH LOVE. MADE TO BE LOVED FOR MANY GENERATIONS. Life moves so fast. There’s a place for nostalgic pieces amongst our busy hustle. Not to mention, adding a little old with the new does a small part in decreasing our footprint and helping our Earth. Over the years, I found myself dressing friends and family. A vintage necklace here or a bag from my own collection there. I don’t know who said or first or why we were styling, but someone said, “YOU SHOULD HAVE A VINTAGE, UP-CYCLED SHOP!” The seed was planted. And here we are. I seek out aged, quality pieces through auction and thrifting. I put anywhere from 3-5 hours into changing or altering pieces to breathe new life into them.

Faye Goldsmith Peterson
Owner: Fap2Treasures
Hello everyone,
I’d love to tell you about my small home based wreath making, home décor business. Fap2Treasures was created over 20 years ago, when we had a totally different type of business. The name was chosen because my initials, and my husbands are the same! We’ve been small business owners since 2000, however, the entire format was changed about 3 years ago. I’ve always loved making flower arrangements and decorating, so my home décor and wreath making business was born. I love to design wreaths, door-hangers, swags, garlands, centerpieces and cemetery sympathy pieces. Each piece is carefully crafted with a blend of skill, love, and attention to detail making them perfect for both every day and special occasions. My husband is a disabled Vietnam Veteran, so when he could no longer handle the tough work of traveling and setting up at shows, Fap2Treasures was born. My goal in changing the direction of the company was a self-fulling dream! It is such a pleasure to design beautiful items enjoyed by my family and friends. Along with all my friends out there I’ve never met. My desire is to grow this business into a wonderful alternative income source. Allowing an extra guarantee of cash flow for the future. Having additional income for family activities will just be a plus. I love designing pieces dreamed up in my head, however, it’s more rewarding to create special items people have requested. Having the ability to do something you love is such a blessing. Thank you for supporting this small business. Although, I love doing every phase of the business, my biggest joy is making sympathy pieces! My love for designing started when I began to design sympathy items for my own family. It is my great honor to now create any of these items for other families. I am able to make saddles, wreaths, crosses, or cones for vases. Please come into Gypsy Star’s Darling and get to know me through my designs on display. The store will have many opportunities and events to meet face to face and I hope to see you there soon and get to know you personally!

Owner: Kandeo
Re-connecting with Nature
Kandēō story starts with a simple want to find and use most nature friendly ingredients Made in USA. We searched for a meaningful name and came to settle on Kandēō which means in Proto-Italic "to shine, glow"
We use premium all natural coconut wax for our candles and wax melts. The fragrance oils used are infused with essential oils.
No dyes, no paraffin, no parabens, phthalate free, cruelty free and vegan.
Our candle jars can be repurposed for a storage of coin change, turned into decoration, pen holder or brought back for refill. Bamboo lids can be placed in dresser drawers to keep our clothes smelling nice. Overall our goal is to provide all natural candles that are good for you and leave a minimal footprint by repurposing our jars/lids.
We hope that you will enjoy Kandēō candles and wax melts as much as we are enjoying making them. If you are not satisfied with our candles, please do not hesitate to contact us at kandeo@protonmail.com or thru our website www.kandeotx.com

Hi everyone! Circle M is family owned and operated by my husband chase and I and our 3 boys. Circle M started just as a generational family farm but turned into wanting to live more naturally and purely off the land when my oldest started having sensitivity’s to dyes and allergy induced eczema. It changed not only him but our whole family’s way of living and we want to share that with others! Our products are 100% all natural with earth and animal derived ingredients like goats milk and pure essential oils to bring you the purest products that are safe for all skin types! Sourdough, canned goods, nature dyed playdough, goats milk soap, foaming hand soap, tee shirts and crafts are a few of our awesome products!
