We're feeling nostalgic this November.
On Saturday the 20th, we will celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. We got married in the autumn of the same year that we opened Swamp John's - 1971. These days, it's a rare business that has been in the same place and under the same ownership for 51 seasons.
Having said that, we're ready to enjoy more time with our kids and grandkids and to spend our summers at the lake. This November and December, we are liquidating our inventory and taking the opportunity to say goodbye to our friends and clients who have meant so much to us over the years.
So much of our time together has been spent with you all in Perkins Cove, and it is very bittersweet to retire. We hope that you will visit us this holiday season and share a memory of the Cove or of a treasured piece of jewelry, and perhaps pick up a new favorite piece. We also hope that you will continue to think of us when you are in need of fine jewelry: Carol's nephew, Jordan Fretz, began carrying his jewelry in our store and running the shop over the last two summers, and he will continue to to carry fine jewelry in the same location.
Thank you all for the support, friendship, and memories!
This past summer marked our 51st season in Perkins Cove! Please come in to say hello and explore our
