About Us
Meet Maria, author of The Key
Hi, I'm Maria! I'm the owner of Eclectic Shoppe, where antiques and vintage meets modern day decor.
Along the way, I learned a thing or two about taking the leap, and I wrote it all down. The Key: A Small Business Companion is my own collection of stories about support, encouragement, and opening your own business. Each chapter is a "coffee with Maria": honest, warm, and practical.
Whether you're dreaming of your own shop or just love a good story over coffee, this book is for you.
The shop behind the book
Eclectic Shoppe is a mother-daughter business, and it started because of my daughter Alex. I manage the shop and our booths, and Alex manages our ecommerce side, including our live Whatnot sales. She has been my partner from the very beginning, and together we pour our hearts into everything we do. Come visit us in Marion or Wabash, Indiana, or join us live on Whatnot!
We are both pickers and purveyors of vintage goods. We have different styles, but we bring it together to create darling vignettes and displays.
Thank you for being part of our journey,
Maria
