Well, with our 20th anniversary this year we pulled out the old photo albums and the memories came in a flood. We thought it might be fun to share. Please add your comments!

We were at Merchants Walk for 12 years. Hand Made opened in downtown Lakeland in 1992 and moved to Merchants Walk in 1993. Anna’s Attic opened a few years later and featured antiques. 

Over time, we began featuring collectibles and moved away from crafts and antiques. Around 2002 we kind of quietly changed our name to “Anna’s,” dropping the “Attic” because we thought it reminded people of antiques.

People still call us Anna’s Attic, though. That’s fine with us – so long as you keep finding us!
