I am so thrilled to be a part of Sophisticate Finds! The first time I walked into the store, I felt like a kid in a candy store with so much to “taste” I didn’t know where to begin. I had recently felt a gentle nudge that it was time for me to go back to work after staying home with my (oh so cute) kids for 5 years. I had recently begun doing some interior decorating for individuals, and some very insightful friends strongly encouraged me to go into the trade full-time. The following week, I discovered Sophisticate Finds. When the current owner at the time, Marsha Erwin, mentioned that she was selling the store, my ears perked up and my heart began beating rapidly. I spoke to my husband about the business and the possibility of ownership, and he was surprisingly encouraging. When he woke up the next morning, he found a business card for Sophisticate Finds under his pillow, which none of us know to this day where it came from. Everything was so obviously pointing towards buying the store, that we didn’t even feel we had a decision to make. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Marsha, my “suite-mate” and previous owner. She is still doing her photography and is so very talented! (Her website is Shabby Chic Studios) All I can say is that I know this is God’s plan for my family, and I am having a blast!!! Thank you for taking time to be a part of this thrilling ride! I hope you enjoy browsing these pages and love what you see! If I can be of any assistance to you, please let me know. Have an incredible day!
