Rare Finds specializes in gifts and decorative accessories. Co-owner Mr. Willis says, “We always tried to have a wide range of things as low as $10. We hope people don’t look at the expensive items first and run out the door.”
The shop has expanded over the years. What used to be an apartment is now retail space. And for Christmas, the emphasis is on candles. But Mr. Willis says, “The gifts that we have all year are good gifts for Christmas.”
Lady Primrose is a very nice line of toiletries the shop is now carrying. The display sits on an antique table that is for sale. If the table sells, another table comes in, and the shop has a new look.
Rare Finds is located on Main Street next to The Country Cafe and post office. The store is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., except on Tuesday when the shop is open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
