FunCycled by John and Sarah

 Husband and wife team John and Sarah restore and revive the furniture that becomes part of FunCycled.  They started FunCycled because it was something they could do as a family that also incorporated upcycled products and unique designs.

For Troy Night Out and the month of August, Anchor No.5 will feature an Eden green upholstered chair with damask fabric and a matching painted table.  As well as a paprika red antique jury style chair with a modern floral fabric, and a matching paprika red and black chevron side table.

The designs maintain the charm of the original piece of furniture while adding contemporary design.  FunCycled not only has furniture pieces for sale, but will also find and customize furniture pieces for clients, as well as redesign pieces that people already own.

"We love working with clients to design furniture as focal points for each room." -Sarah

Holiday 2011

Last holiday season, Anchor No.5 Boutique had only been open a few months. Petra Jancovicova had gathered an exceptional group of artist's, and we all jumped in right before the whirlwind of holiday shopping on River Street commenced. A year has passed and Anchor No.5 is nothing short of a chic, sophisticated boutique. It's gained a few more talented, local designers, while giving all of the artists it represents an opportunity to expand on our product lines, both in creativity and in extensiveness. Petra has been encouraging preparation for the holiday season for months, and every artist has met the challenge. Anchor is packed with unique, artisan gifts, with something for everyone.

This Troy Night Out falls on Black Friday. Whether you're avoiding, or braving the festivities of the day, strolling through the Market Block will be a fun and relaxing evening, and you can probably even get a few holiday gifts checked off your list.

If you can't make it Friday, come out for Shop Local Saturdays. Anchor No.5 is not only an independent, locally owned business, but features all local artists. Support your neighbors, support your region, Enjoy Troy.

This year, using Anchor No. 5's Facebook page, customers can shop online, and compile a wish list of items. Whether it's a list of things you would like others to buy for you, or gifts you would like to buy for others, contact Petra via Facebook, and she will have your wishlist on file when you walk into the Boutique.

From all of the Artists represented at Anchor No. 5 Boutique, have a wonderful holiday season, and thank you for your support.
