This Old Trunk celebrates a year |

An eclectic shop quietly celebrated its first
anniversary last month in the old South Hill
Furniture building on Main Street, and if you
haven't visited yet, you owe it to yourself to
stop in and visit "This Old Trunk Antiques and
Collectibles, 7219 Main Street, Bonners Ferry,
and owner/retail baby sitter Heather Bailey.
And if you have been in but not in a while, drop
in again -- you'll find that everytime you do
drop in you'll find something new and exciting.
This Old Truck is a consignment store, with 18
current vendors bringing in and setting up their
wares while Heather mans the shop from 10 a.m.
to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, greeting
customers and making them welcome as they view
the antiques, home decor, gifts, arts and
crafts, books, knick knacks and so much more.
In just one short year, the main floor has
filled and the lower level is getting that way,
and once it is there's still an upper floor to
go! The prices for customers are superb, and
rates for vendors are reasonable as well.
Heather, who moved to Bonners Ferry full time
three years ago, brings a wealth of experience
to the store. Growing up in Michigan, she helped
her mother in similar stores, then moved to
Georgia, where she lived for 25 years setting up
a working flea markets and consignments.
It was (ahem) the promise of cooler weather that
eventually brought Heather and her family to
North Idaho. They first looked about 15 years
ago, then visited several more times before
deciding to move here for good.
And then came this summer, hot as any Georgia
had to offer!
This Old Trunk offers something for everyone --
even vinatge fishing gear!
If you're looking for that perfect gift, for
yourself or someone else, don't overlook This
Old Trunk! To find out more, call (208)
267-8700. |
