Casa Bizzaro
Last June, Carrie Moss, known in the area for Indie Ally her radio show on WDVR, walked into what was the Frenchtown shop Hawk + Floret, and felt “a magnetic pull.” The previous owner, Betty Baines Saum, had died and Betty’s grown children did not know what they were going to do with the store. Carrie asked Betty’s daughter if they were looking for the right person, and she said, “yes.” Carrie said “Well, I think it needs to be me.” Carrie bought the business.
“I've been putting my own spin on the store, but I fell in love with the vines, and it's something that I've always wanted to have ever since I was a teenager. The store is magical. There were Actual vines on the wall and the ceiling. And I've been saving vines. They’re in my greenhouse.”
Casa Bizarro has fully become Carrie’s store, and she sells women’s vintage clothing, crystals, gems, rocks, incense, gifts plants, curiosities and lots of art. She says, “I work with a lot of local artists who paint, sculpt, make jewelry—I have vintage and new jewelry. I sell local beaters and have beadwork and silversmithing. It’s a lot!
