      What a wonderful season is was for Checkered Corner at The Copper Nickel in Webster. This adorable occasional market shop opened in June and it truly has been a busy blur ever since. For me is was great to be back in business locally in Webster. I THANK YOU so much for finding us and supporting small business in this great community. 

      For years I had been open third weekends and knew that was the only thing I want to do going forward. I also was seasonal for many years open just during spring, summer & fall months. That also remains the plan now to escape the season of shoveling in Wisconsin. I will pause Checkered Corner for WINTER BREAK as we relocate to Texas to the spend winter months. 

      I will miss seeing you each month and plan to be back in the market swing in the spring and hope there is room available at The Copper Nickel — which remains open year round so do continue to shop and find the treasures that are meant to be yours.  Until then I’ll post my picking & grinning photos from Texas. There are many great spots I’ve found down there and the thrill of the hunt will continue this winter as I source goods for my return to the north woods. 

     I wish you a holiday season full of joy surrounded by those you love. Stay well and enjoy your winter wherever it finds you.

Put a little RUSTIC in your Christmas!!
One of my FAVORITE accents are old furniture casters.  The history they have always intrigues me.  You can purchase them individually or on wreaths.
