Still looking for that perfect gift?
It could be just around the corner and away from the chains and box stores.
Deja Vu, a Munson Road store that refurbishes and repurposes a variety of items, Karen Zaleski reports that business has been very brisk. “We actually sell alot online than in the store – but there’s alot here. Their variety store has a little bit of everything ranging from knick nacks to snowboards; guitars to signs. Wherever you look, there’s often something new or different- and perhaps that pefect gift. In the back room are complete dining room sets, in the front, vases turned into birdbaths, artwork, and walking canes. Most of the items have been polished or made by Zaleski and her husband.
Deja Vu carries items ranging from Dining sets to antique tools
Their items can be found on a Etsy site.
