ABOUT
THE WONDERFUL STORE IS IN ITS 33rd YEAR!
The Wonderful Store was established in 1989 in Yarker when John created a tearoom overlooking the waterfall from Merrill Wright's back woodworking shed. We sold collectibles and antiques out of the main shop area in front. We had married the previous year and had our reception in that same shop area. The tearoom and store were open during the warm weather for 11 years before we sold the building and semi-retired to Amherst Island. We had begun selling books online in 1999 through abebooks.com then also through alibris.com. In 2005 we purchased a building on Main Street in Newburgh as the home of our newly launched publishing business and store where we mostly sold books and collectibles and featured John's books and Life Story card game. We moved from the Island to our current home in Newburgh in 2010 then in 2013 had a brief flirtation with a shop overlooking the pond in Westport before purchasing the building that would host "The Mill at Tamworth" in 2016. With the sale of the mill in summer of 2021 we are finally retired, though we maintain our online store at wonderfulstore.etsy.com where we continue to sell art, fashion, decor, books and the still popular Life Story card game.
