Owner shares passion for 'old treasures' through shop
Bonnie Beaty gets a sparkle in her eye each time she tells the story behind one of the many items inside Prickly Pair Collectics, her seventh-month-old store located in Cypress.
"I think the love has been in my blood since I was young," Beaty said. "My grandmother, my great aunt and great uncle had a home in Connecticut, and my grandma had an antique shop they were all a part of, so I grew up loving old treasures."
The Prickly Pair is located in an older home off Huffmeister Road, and visitors could spend hours traversing through the rooms full of repurposed furniture, restored items, vintage finds, jewelry and home dcor items.
"I just love the history: where did it come from, who had it?" Beaty said. "I just love [to find out] where and how things were used."
