Meet Your Merchant: Luxuries await shoppers at Home Treasures
Susie Messina admits her gift boutique in the Carson Mall is all about the wants, not the needs.
Home Treasures, which Messina, 54, co-owns with Dawn Henderson, 48, is the sort of store that is filled with knickknacks that may decorate a living room, such as polar bear statues, or compliment an outfit, such as scarves or jewelry.
“That’s kind of us, we’re home decor, we’re gifts for you and your home,” said Messina, who jokes about buying a bench for the store and calling it the “husband waiting area.”
“It’s all about want,” she said.
Messina and Henderson, are two of the newest tenants in the Carson Mall, opened their store on Sunday.
Home Treasures will stage a book signing Sunday with author and illustrator Andi Green, who writes the Worry Woos series of children books that are accompanied by stuffed toys featuring the series’ characters: monsters.
