It wasn’t that long ago that Jan got this nutty idea – a regular occurrence for her – for a craft store in downtown Lakeland.
That was 20 years ago, in 1992.
She moved the store after one year to Merchants Walk … then to Lake Miriam and finally to Lakeside Village.
The store started as “Hand Made,” a “Year-Round Crafts Show.” It evolved into Anna’s Attic. Eventually we dropped the “Attic” and just called ourselves Anna’s. Of course, some folks still call us Anna’s Attic and that’s fine with us!
Well, we got to thinking (I know, dangerous stuff for us). Anyway, 20 years is a significant number of years for our little endeavor. God has blessed us mightily with some terrific workers, and those of you who have shopped at Anna’s are our friends.
So, we figured we’d have an anniversary party! Three parties to be exact. Details are forthcoming, but mark your calendars for Sept. 20, Oct. 20, and Nov. 20.
