Treasure Seekers<br />
The Best Kept Secret in Jonesboro, Georgia<br />
<strong>My</strong> <strong>Passion</strong> - Issue 4 - December 2015 | 15<br />
<strong>My</strong> staff and I are always looking and searching for unique stories of people who have turned their dreams and their passions into<br />
reality. Dakota and I met someone the other day that did just that. Her name is Cheryl Dill. She is one of the owners of “Treasure<br />
Seekers.” This is a store that has everything from the old to the new, from antiques to the modern, furniture, to flowers. In other<br />
words, the store has everything. We<br />
spent an hour in this store looking at<br />
everything. We were intrigued. I saw<br />
things that I had not seen since I was a<br />
little girl. It was such a pleasant experience<br />
that we decided to ask Ms. Cheryl<br />
a few questions about her passion and<br />
her store.<br />
MPM: You said that you and your sisters<br />
started Treasure Seekers together.<br />
Please tell us what caused you guys to<br />
open this store.<br />
Cheryl: Retirement. I know that<br />
sounds strange, but that is the case.<br />
Life's circumstances has brought us full<br />
circle, starting life together under one<br />
roof, and we once again share a home<br />
(sisters are forever friends). Retirement<br />
to most people means it's time to slow<br />
down and enjoy life. We are enjoying<br />
life, but have not slowed down. We<br />
once went on vacation, left the hotel for<br />
a day of play (aka a shopping spree).<br />
When we got back to the hotel the valet<br />
could not park my car (SUV) in the covered<br />
parking lot because we had so much<br />
stuff tied to the top. That was embarrassing,<br />
but only for a second.<br />
MPM: What do you sell at Treasure<br />
Seekers?<br />
Cheryl: That's a hard question because<br />
we will buy just about anything. We have<br />
furniture, glassware, lamps, pictures,<br />
home decor, etc. The most unusual item<br />
we ever bought was a pair of African<br />
headdresses used in ceremonies just because<br />
they were different.<br />
MPM: Do you still have them?<br />
Cheryl: Yes, we still have them. I have<br />
yet to find someone in need of them.<br />
MPM: Where do you get your merchandise?<br />
Cheryl: Aaha! The hunt! Love it! <strong>My</strong><br />
favorite part! We like to call it “junktiquing”.<br />
We shop yard sales, auctions, and<br />
estate sales. People sometimes roll up in<br />
trucks or cars full of stuff. There is nothing<br />
more exciting than finding that certain<br />
piece or sometimes a treasure. I love to see<br />
someone else find it also. It is satisfying.<br />
MPM: Are you living out your passion?<br />
Cheryl: Absolutely, I am living my passion!<br />
We have been blessed, for which we<br />
are truly grateful.<br />
Readers, you must go and check out this<br />
unique “treasure.” You will truly enjoy<br />
every moment you spend in the store. You<br />
can find Treasure Seekers at 234 South<br />
Main Street, Jonesboro, GA. https://www.<br />
