Pat Trush — second from right in first row — founded this family-owned and operated business in 1975. She discovered treasures abroad on a business trip with her husband. While he looked for and purchased items for his electrical products distribution business, she shopped. . . something she really enjoys! The marvelous pieces she brought back to the states were quickly bought up by friends who then begged her to find more! And so she did on subsequent trips abroad. The rest, as they say, is history.
