NORWICH – Longtime Chenango County resident Susan Wood said for most of her adult life, she’s dreamed of opening her own gift shop and now that dream is about to come true.

Thymely Treasures, an “eclectic collection of gifts and home decor,” will officially open on July 10, said Wood, who, due to the personal adversity she faced in the last year, “really felt the need to pursue my dream.”

Located on the corner of South Broad and East Main Streets in the former E-Sell-It location, Thymely Treasures will offer a “large variety of home decor and gift items appealing to people with a variety of tastes,” according to Wood, whose goal is “to be successful and become a permanent fixture downtown.”
