Carolyn is a lifelong entrepreneur.  She is a CPA.  She was owner of The Station Cafe & Gifts in Chazy NY, located in a train station she restored.  Carolyn travels to other small towns with her daughters, Kristin, Nicolette and Chantal where they enjoy the quaint and personable local shops and the cute items they carry.  There was a need in Plattsburgh for this type of vibe for local shopping.  When the former Merkel's spot became available  she was inspired to create that unique shopping experience here.  All three of Carolyn's daughters are involved in the business.  Nicolette is a professional artist and connects frequently with customers through social media and in the store when she is working there. She stages and merchandises much of the store.  Chantal assists with event planning, staging, bookkeeping and assisting customers. Kristin offers her style and staging creativity.
