ONE WEEK UNTIL OPENING!!!

       We are getting the stage set to offer you a fun, creative browse next Thursday when we open our doors for the first time.  You will find a good mix of old, new, handmades, repurposed and vintage home & garden goods at The Copper Nickel.  

Also looking forward to the pantry market items that will change up each month from fresh baked sourdough bread, waffle mixes, honey, flavored dips,  steak seasonings, snacks from Louie’s Finer Meats & MORE.  

RED/WHITE
& BLUE
will welcome you to Checkered  Corner at the entry.  Americana is a highlight from most vendors with July 4th celebrations coming up soon.

Red chippy snack table
and lots of enamelware.
Some planted with 
flowers just for FUN.




Fishing FUN like bobber wreaths, pillows, vintage lures & minnow buckets. Gorgeous classic life ring that would look great on side of deck, garage or boat house.  Signs, vintage Ball jars, napkins, dish towels and misc rescued furniture & decor too.
Great door display shelf holds a lot of items!
