Lewis stocks her store with her refinished furniture, hand-sewn
pillows, floral and greenery arrangements, and found treasures she has given
new life and purpose. In addition, there
are handmade candles, charcuterie boards, soaps, and decorative accessories
made by local vendors.
“One of my goals
for the store is to provide local creators with a venue to sell their work,”
said Lewis. “It’s very important to me to help and promote other vendors in my
community.”

Found Our Haven shares its bricks and mortar with Rustbelt
Coffee, located at 119 N. Ontario Street.
The multi-use destination gives visitors
a perfect opportunity to grab an espresso or a chai latte, along with a raspberry
Russian tea biscuit before or after shopping.
Decorating has always been a passion for Lewis. “I’ve been a
creator my whole life,” she said. When Lewis was about 6 years old, she built
her first clubhouse with some sheets and a hammer and then decorated it. “I
didn’t build it for friends to play in. I just wanted to sit and look at how
pretty it was,” she reminisced. “I’ve always wanted a store, and now my dream
has come true.”
Currently, Found Our Haven is open three days per month from
Thursday through Saturday. Lewis hopes to add more days soon.
