Little Nifties owner has eye for unusual
If you’ve ever hosted a dinner party in your home, you know the value of a good conversation piece.
A new vintage shop in downtown Maryville offers a collection of carefully selected items guaranteed to get people talking. Little Nifties, 300 E. Church Ave., specializes in vintage and mid-century modern home goods.
Owner and collector Susan Roseman said, “I like anything unusual.”
Her vintage inventory, deriving primarily from the 1950s and 1960s, includes toys, furniture, dinnerware, fabric, clothing, purses and jewelry.
Roseman has been a long-time collector and said, “If I like it, then I buy it, and I can’t even explain why I like it.”
Her aesthetic is well-known among her friends in Maryville and was even recognized by HGTV. Roseman’s renovated master bathroom was featured on the show “I Want That Bath” in 2005.
Along with an eye for unique design, Roseman has a knack for repurposing old items into something uniquely practical.
