Here is a little about Chris, the owner:

Christina is the bubbly and vivacious owner of Secondhand Rose, located in downtown Lodi. This popular gal is known througout the community as a hard worker and loyal friend. Providing the customer service she's famous for, Chris regularly goes out of her way to ensure a unique shopping experience for all, by sharing her knowledge of antiques and treating her guests with a song! With her quick wit and amazing singing abilities (not) she's sure to either leave you laughing or plugging your ears. If her singing doesn't scare you away then you truly are part of the Secondhand Rose Family!

When Chris is not at work, she can usually be found curled up in front of the TV watching a horror movie (the gorier the better) or playing with her mentally challenged cat (seriously the cat has issues). Whether she's at work or on her own time, Chris strives to make a difference in the lives of those around her. Someone once said "Chris has never met a stranger" and it is this special aspect of her personality that will have you returning again and again to Secondhand Rose, a place where you are family.
