In a little storefront next to the old Burbank Theater in San Jose, Mary Schlichting Francis is pulling together all her favorite finds that she has recycled, re-purposed and refreshed for a three-day Valentine’s weekend sale.
“I love changing something old and giving it new life,” she said.
The space used to be part of the venerable Stan’s Scuba Shop and has been empty since Stan retired some time ago. Mary first came upon the shop with a friend who was looking for space to open a bakery. But when Mary saw it, she had ideas of her own. From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday through Monday, ”Metamorphix” will be open for business.
She will be selling everything from fresh floral arrangements in vases that she has painted, to vintage leather chairs, daybeads and end tables. Although the shop will only be open this weekend, she hopes to find a nearby space to have periodic sales. So stay tuned!
You can find Metamorphix at 554 Bascom Avenue.
