Women Open Shop on Square
Covington, IN – A new storefront just joined the downtown retail community in Covington, Ind. Expect to find an eclectic mix of hand-made gifts, home décor items and repurposed “junktiques” at Myrtle, Maude & Mabel’s, which opened for business last Saturday.
“I always wanted a storefront in my hometown and this opportunity fell in my lap,” said Becky Nixon of Covington, who initiated the new store.
Nixon has run a business selling homemade purses, gifts and country-inspired art pieces under the name Myrtle, Maude & Mabel’s since 2007 and, until recently, had a store in Rockville, Ind., with the same name. When Summers Timeless Antiques on the east side of the courthouse square in Covington suddenly closed a few weeks ago, she jumped on the opportunity to rent the building.
