<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAccording to reference.com, a German shrunk, or schrank, is a type of tall furniture that can be a combination of cabinetry, shelving, drawers, and closets, commonly made of highly decorated wood. Imagine the love the couple had for the shrunk since each time her husband was transferred, the massive piece was disassembled and transported from station to station until they reached their new base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hobbs loved the stories so much that she opened her own shop when she retired from teaching. Generations, located on the Huntsville Highway in Fayetteville, caters to the next generation of furniture lovers in something new, old, and reimagined. It\u2019s where Hobbs connects vendors and buyers and where stories are shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have true, honest antiques throughout the store, and we also have things that meet the needs of your common everyday buyer. One of the things I think our customers enjoy is the fact that every vendor brings a different card to the table. They\u2019re all unique. They all have their own little niche in the things they do,\u201d said Hobbs. Hobbs has a niche, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI look for lots and lots of vintage. I look for substantial pieces of furniture that are solid and have withstood the test of time. I love vintage things from the \u201860s, \u201870s, and \u201880s market. Those three really have my heart,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But where does she find those?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hobbs said, \u201cI love the dig. I love a good shop, mile-long yard sales, or finding a good yard sale on the side of the road where you can just dig and look.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n And Fayetteville is full of good shops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI wish that people realized Fayetteville is more of a destination than others know. My store is the farthest from the square. But between here and the square, there are four other stores where people can shop. And that doesn\u2019t include all the other shops on the little side roads,\u201d Hobbs said. \u201cYou could spend the whole day shopping from one end of Lincoln County to the other.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n As the sun sets on another day at Generations, whispers of forgotten tales and the promise of new beginnings fill the air within the store. The carefully curated collections of vintage treasures, lovingly restored and repurposed, radiate a timeless charm that transcends generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The relics of the past find new life in buyers\u2019 hands, eager to weave their narratives into the tapestry of history. Each item holds a story, an untold chapter of a bygone era, waiting to be discovered by the next curious soul who crosses the threshold. With her passion for the hunt and an eye for the timeless, Hobbs and her vendors craft a haven where the past and present intertwine seamlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n New generations of buyers discover their style and find their treasures in Hobbs\u2019 THEY LOVE the thrill of the hunt. Cheryl Hobbs said she comes from a long line of women who sat up on Saturdays and sold their items at yard sales, auctions, and other events. The success of Saturday sales depended upon the diligence of the digger.
