(Above) Opened in February of 2016, the Day by Day
Shoppe, a vintage nic nac store, is a beautiful place to vist. The owner of the store, Will Davis, shared details about the origins of his store as well as what the store has to offer. Davis answered by saying he, “Had a change in profession and opened up the shop to showcase and express my creative side, after the non-profit agency I worked for assisting the deaf and hard of hearing individuals closed it’s doors after 32 years.” The name of the store came about when Davis said, “I choose the name after debating several others, and Frank Sinatra was singing Day by Day.” He went on to explain how it is a classic standard song from the 40s, known to the older generations. Davis then continued to say how many items in the shop are made by him. When asked what they were made from as well as how many of the store’s items he makes he answered, “I created, repurposed, upcycle many of the things I have in the shop. I would say 40%.” After learning that, it was asked if he makes any custom orders for people who might be interested in making something more personal. He answered by saying, “Most items can be personalized and customized for a customer with a name monogram; just take 7-10 days or sooner if the supplies are on hand.” Davis seemed to very enthusiastic about answering the questions and was very kind. The store on the inside was very excentric and unique. The shop has a great community and is loved by many locals. If simply passing through or staying in the city, people can’t help, but stop by.
