threegenerationsIf there is one thing this family has in common, it is to start a business that they are passionate about. 

Patsy Madrid who owns Vintage Fantasies, started in 2003 with a love of hats that she has been collecting since she was 12. The store has grown into what it is from going to auctions and donations from the amazing people in this town. She loves the styles of the 50’s and 60’s and has since added onto the store. She sells affordable gowns, vests, bowties, and even men’s shoes that are unique and fun!

Missy Lopez who owns All My Mommas Junk, started as an online business selling purses on Facebook that has grown into a storefront business six years ago. This allows her to make her own fun stuff and provide affordable supplies to others who want to create with great fabrics, sewing supplies, and more. You will find unique fabric, purses, and more that you will not find anywhere else.

Martin Munoz and his wife Crystal owns Silver Artifacts that opened this year during the pandemic. This fun store has evolved from a previous location into an amazing comic book and gaming store. You will find gaming supplies, comic books, jewelry, and more in this fun store. A great place for kids and adults to go explore.

Patsy, Missy, and Martin are all doing what they love in our beautiful Historic Downtown. The family has a passion for our town and have found a way to make a business out of something they love.
