We Found Success at Frugal Fortune!

Oh poo...So I'm having major computer issues this week, and I'm using an old computer which doesn't support a photo program, so I can't load any photos. But I'm making the best of it and posting to Face Book from my phone and providing links so people can see what we currently have for sale at Frugal Fortune. However, there's a bright side.

We are in the black the first month we have been open! I'm thrilled and excited about the future of our shop, and all we have to offer here. The response and support has been wonderful, and we've met so many nice people since opening. Thank you all so very much! 

We have beautiful champagne flutes, bottle bags, stoppers, charms, and more for New Year's Eve. Here are some links to see what we have for sale:

Santa's been to Frugal fortune in Lakewood!

Santa was at Frugal Fortune this past weekend!

Dave played Santa Saturday at a preschool, at Frugal Fortune, and at Murphy's Law in Cleveland, Ohio. What fun it was to watch him with all the little ones. 

I was Mrs. Claus at Murphy's Law and had a chance to talk to the wee ones. One little girl wanted to know where the fake Santa was, because "That's not the fake Santa! " The boys commented that
Santa had to leave-Only Mrs. Claus was still there. :)

The kids were so adorable, and they really appreciated the gifts provided by Murphy's-Transformers for the boys and stuffed teddy bears for the girls, along with a bag of candy for all.

Frugal Fortune-A Dream Come True...

Welcome to Frugal Fortune-Lakewood, Ohio's 
newest shop on Madison Avenue! 

Our names are Carolyn and Dave, and both of us have had a long standing dream of owning and operating a shop. Dave has been collecting things for years, and I have owned an at home silk floral business for quite some time, so it seemed natural 
that we would sell antiques, vintage and handmade. 

About a month ago, Dave asked me if I would like to take a look at spaces to lease, and I said, "Sure!" Three weeks later, we were the proud owners of Frugal Fortune-Fine Antiques and Vintage, Quality Resale, and Beautiful Handmade.

With the help of family and friends, we worked our butts off to get it open in time for the annual Candy Cane Lane event in Uptown Lakewood, and it was a great success for us.  Dreams do come true!

So we welcome you to share in our excitement as we get started in the retail business.

Here are some of the things we are currently offering in our shop:













Thanks for sharing with us, and we hope you all have a blessed and peaceful Christmas season.

Sincerely,

Dave and Carolyn
