Yesterday, we featured shipping containers in Greensboro, to show the one end of consumerism; specifically, items being brought in from all over the world. Today, we feature the opposite end of the spectrum, a locally owned store, Thistle and Broom. The proprietor, Deborah, imports some items, but also works hard to locally source items. She loves mixing new and vintage. Thistle & Broom has been open for two years now. In her previous career, Deborah was a school teacher in Guilford and Randolph Counties.
Deborah, who relocated to Greensboro from Siler City when she was 19, absolutely loves spending time in her shop arranging items. She compared staging the shop with painting a picture. You don't always know where you will end up, but is always fun seeing the finished product. Hats off to Deborah for working hard to provide so many cute items that add to the hygge feeling of coziness we all crave this time of year. Stop by and see her soon at 1940 Spring Garden Street, between Adelaide's and Spring Garden Bakery.
It certainly seems that she's running a welcoming shop!
