Business of Business: Handmade Baskets Anchor Third Shop
Sycamore, OH – After 15 years as a gift shop owner in Marblehead and Lakeside, Elinore Ames has made her way down Ohio 4 and over to Ohio 231 to open her third shop (located at 3849 Ohio 231), and she did it for love.
While operating her gift shop at Marblehead, Ames met and fell in love with Larry Goodman, who lives on Ohio 231 near Sycamore.
“The shop was a barn, but Larry renovated it for me and did an absolutely beautiful job,” Ames said of the quaint shop she calls Country Baskets at the Barn Gift Shop. “I have established customers already from this area such as Marion, Mansfield, Upper Sandusky, Bucyrus, Columbus and Tiffin.”
