The Story Behind the Shop: Meet Lou and Dolly

Welcome to Lou & Dolly

Our story begins with two people at the heart of it all — Lewis and Margaret, lovingly known as Lou and Dolly. They lived with a deep appreciation for simplicity, tradition, and the beauty of everyday things. Their spirit of warmth, resourcefulness, and hospitality is what inspired us to bring this shop to life.

At Lou & Dolly, we curate a collection of European Antiques and Vintage finds, each piece carrying History, Character, and Charm. Alongside these Timeless Treasures, our Makers and Merchants Mercantile Section highlights the work of Local Makers and Small Businesses — Artisans whose craft reflects the same values of quality and authenticity we hold dear.

We believe that the things we surround ourselves with should tell a story — of Heritage, of Craft, and of Connection. Whether it’s a 19th-century French Confit Pot, a Rustic Farmhouse Tool, or a Handmade piece from a Local Artisan, every item in our shop has been chosen with intention.

Thank you for being here and for supporting both the preservation of history and the celebration of local craft. When you shop with Lou & Dolly, you’re not just buying something beautiful — you’re helping to continue the story.

With gratitude,
The Lou & Dolly Team
