A little about me and the store...

I grew up in Fair Play, SC on Lake Hartwell.  I graduated from West Oak High School in 1993 and then attended the College of Charleston.  I married Jason in May of 1998.  I opened my own bridal and evening wear shop and then I was in Catering and Event Management for The Cliffs Communites in Sunset, SC, Patrick Properties Events in Charleston, SC and my private event company in Seneca, SC.  I opened Porta Portese in 2007 and it has made an amazing transformation since then.  I can honestly say, I love what I do.  The best part about Porta Portese are the relationships I have made with my customers and dealers.  It is because of them that we have been so successful.  Thank you for making what I do so enjoyable.

Porta Portese offers an eclectic mix of new, vintage, antiques, home accessories, art, gifts and oddities.  Porta Portese was originally Antiques & Company and is located at 112 Ram Cat Alley  in Historic Downtown Seneca, South Carolina.  It shares its name with the largest market, Porta Portese, in Rome, Italy.  Like its namesake, you can find something for everyone at Porta Portese on Ram Cat Alley.  Porta Portese is fortunate to have 29 unique dealers that make up the store.  Our merchandise changes daily, so vissit us often.  Porta Portese is a very "Happy Place".  We hope you will come share it with us and take a little, 'happy' home with you.

Cheers!
