New antique store caters to your wish list

By Tay­lor Kaser -

“I’ve always liked antiques, home dec­o­rat­ing, and any­thing vin­tage.” said Lisa Marsell who owns Marsell Antiques with her hus­band Jim.

A res­i­dent of Card­ing­ton, Lisa decided to open up the loca­tion on St. Rt. 95 west so that she would have some­where to sell her col­lectibles. The shop boasts a large col­lec­tion of antiques, pot­tery, Amer­i­cana, jew­elry, west­ern belt buck­les, fur­ni­ture and Swan Creek Candles.

Lisa and Kris Moore, who also works at the shop, explained if cus­tomers are look­ing for some­thing in par­tic­u­lar they can fill out a “wish list” form of what they’re look­ing for. Then when Lisa goes shop­ping, she can look for what­ever items have been requested.

“If peo­ple are look­ing for some­thing we try to find it,” Lisa explained that most peo­ple can’t travel far out of their com­mu­nity look­ing for spe­cial items.

Later hours and loca­tion have def­i­nitely helped busi­ness, explained Lisa, as peo­ple can shop after work and can eas­ily drop by from the road.

Begin­ning in Novem­ber the entire store will be stocked with Christ­mas items. In Decem­ber the store will be open seven days a week from 10–7 p.m till Christ­mas. Grapevine Christ­mas trees will also be in stock in small and large sizes.
