History
Established in 2017.
Lakeside Treasures started through the creativity of a retired special education teacher. After displaying hand sewn items for the home & family at craft shows & farmer's markets, it was decided that a building location would provide customers with greater access to handcrafted items. While working on building renovation and painting the large mural on the front, we were also collecting vintage pieces to put out for sale. We look for the highest quality pieces for our customers. We also decided to provide a small section of like new clothing for infants and small children. This clothing is washed, pressed, and ready for your little one to wear. Once opened, we became aware of 2 additional needs in our community. We have had multiple requests for teaching craft classes and for t-shirt & souvenir items reflecting the many beautiful lakes in our area. Check out our Facebook page for any pop-up classes in the new year and watch for souvenir items this summer.
