Our store, Tawston found, first opened in October of 2010. It was begun by four families. John Gale Reeves, Ed and Nikki Crossen, Leslie Fleischman, and my wife, Carrie and I. We'd all been in the same antique shop for several years when we noticed were drawn together because we had similar ideas about how to run a shop and what kind of things we wanted to sell. So at a point we broke off from that shop, and we found this location and started something entirely new. The original building we're in started out as a house somewhere around 1910. It's been added on to several times, and over the years has been a wood shop, an automotive shop, a kitchen shop, and we think during prohibition when liquor was illegal, it may even have been a speakeasy or illegal bar. The reason we think that is because there are bullet holes in the wood floor, and we know they're bullet holes because we dug real bullets out of them when were redoing the floor. One of my favorite memories of the beginning of our store was our opening night. We had handed out private invitations to a few of our friends and hoped that they could make it, and it turned out to be a huge success with over 300 people that night coming in and actually buying things at the store that evening. It was very crowded in here. It was shock and awe, I think that, well, of course right in the middle of all of this, our credit card machine went down. So were handwriting receipts and we had no clue that were going to have this response and that all these people were wanting to buy what we had to offer. We just thought were having a nice private party. One thing I think we all have in common is the notion of what is cool. To be able to go out and find something that our customers want and we really listen to feedback so that we can supply that to them. Our biggest challenge going forward is keeping up with that supply and demand and we are always working when we're not here at the shop to fill that demand and keep things fresh. We've been open for two years now and recently expanded into the space next to us. When we started we said we don't want to be antique muse
