Tracy IV Diamond Editor After coming to Murfreesboro on vacation, a couple liked the area so much, they wanted to stay permanently. Living near Fort Worth, Texas, Sara Owens said, along with husband Rick, that while on a three day trip, which included the Crater of Diamonds, they “fell in love with the area.” “We kicked it around for six months, sold everything, and with my jewelry business came here with the intention of setting up shop somewhere,” said Owens. However Owens came across the opportunity to pur- chase Pop’s Antiques, with its location of the courthouse square, when the former owners decided to retire. And thus began Sara’s Showroom, with antiques, vintage items and collectibles, which opened March 1. Owens does have a few vendors in the store, to whom she rents space monthly or works on consignment. Approximately a month later, upon hearing and seeing need of another fishing bait and tackle location in the area, the couple’s “second” business -- the Fishin’ Hole -- came into existence. The Fishin’ Hole is in the back of Sara’s STAFF PHOTO/Danielle Brown Showroom and accessible by a door across the street from CELEBRITY WAITER EVENT ...
