New Eclectic Business Brings Global Flair
Byrnes Mill, MO – To get away and beat winter blahs without paying a travel price tag, local customers can “Shop the World at ETC”—Eclectic Trading Company, Byrnes Mill’s newest business, just a few miles from High Ridge.
Bobbie Kassman, the owner, has painted and decorated the 1,500-plus-square-foot store to resemble a colorful bazaar, filled with thousands of unusual items from more than a dozen countries, including Afghanistan, England, Spain, Peru, India, Mexico and Bali.
Beaded scarves, pashminas, unique purses, casual and dressy jewelry, funky shoes, antique pieces, wine racks, books, outdoor decor and other furniture items offer a wide assortment. Walls are covered with antique and newer mirrors, plates and framed art. Rounders hold new and used designer clothing, such as Chico’s and Coldwater Creek, and tables are filled with gifts, stationery, mugs, pottery and housewares.
