Observations all along the line - Kimball & the Southern Panhandle First

New Business Gets Nostalgic

"I can take a beginner of beginners and they will walk out Saturday feeling like a Picasso."

– Stacey Bolin

Stacey Bolin is referring to her "sip and paint classes" at her new "pop-up store" in the Kimball Event Center.

Bolin has named the store Nostalgia Gifts & Goodies Gift Shop. She teaches the art classes on the side at the event center.

She said Nostalgia, which operated earlier this year, will reopen in the coming weeks – and she is looking for local artisans willing to consign to display their crafts at her store. For details, call 443-852-7523.

"I wanted to find someplace central (to open the shop) and Kimball is a central location between Scottsbluff, Cheyenne, and Sidney," she said.

"It is like being juried," she continued. "I am looking for quality products, handmade products, that are reasonably priced. We want quality products with an old-fashioned feel."

Bolin said she wants to "bring the shopping back to Kimball."

She will have the Halloween theme going on for September and October. She will have lots of great gifts, including birthday crystal snowflakes, painted glass, wreaths, pet items, face masks and Huskers ornaments.

She already has holiday related experience in Kimball. Bolin conducted an Easter-themed coloring and sold Christmas items at her store.

Her items are branded under the name "Ukandu."
