Show Spotlight on a Model Neighborhood business Jerrita (Kitty) Reagan finds a philosophy for life in collecting antiques. 1 1 . . . to capture enough of the past..'.' by Steve Varley A trip to Kittys is a trip into the extraordinary. Formerly called "the junk palace" by her mother, Kitty's shop is now Decors Extraordinaire. ". . .to capture enough of the to formulate a tangible future." That is the ideal behind past . . an Decors Extraordinaire, antiquefurniture store and warehouse containing almost anything you can imagine from a wooden box worth just a few cents to a 1 7th century furniture set priced at a modest fifteen hundred dollars. (The history of which she'd have to tell you!) But don't get the wrong idea, most of her things are modestly priced ( a kitchen table for $5.00). She says, "I want to keep prices down so most folks will be able to afford them." So whether you are looking for a k itchen table, an inexpensive couch, more exotic antiques like a 16th century hand carved cello, or just a few pleasant hours of browsing, Kitty's is the place to go. "Something of value is what living is all about. When the value of a thought has been lost and erosion has claimed it's identity, this condition expresses the beginning and ending of another of life's living cycles." Kitty is open 1 2 to 6 daily at 257 West 100 South and besides having so much stuff, makes enjoyable company. Photos by Steve Varley. |
