Tricia’s Treasures
Tricia’s Treasures is a combination of antiques, accessories, food, tomfoolery and in general, a happy and warm gathering place where selling is almost second place to the rest. “This year makes 32 years in the antique business and what a long, short, fun, tiring, fulfilling, happy journey it has been,” says Tricia Thomas, owner, pictured above. “The old tires have a slow leak these days but I will keep pumping ‘em up. The stories that have come through our doors over the years are too many to be told! And the laughs we’ve shared have made all these lines in my face! “I have a sigm in our shop that says ‘The only thing more overrated than natural childbirth is the joy of owning your own business.’ Well, that is close to true--I just never tried the first. “There is a treasure for you at Tricia’s Treasures, no matter the season, so please join us for our fall and winter seasons and make your home warm and beautiful. We are open Tuesday through Friday, from 10:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. and from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Saturday.” Tricia’s Treasures is located at 19th Place South, Homewood, 871-9779.
