About

We started our journey in 1989 as Fox Run Designs and focused on bringing high quality, handcrafted pieces of art that were a nod to some of our favorite antiques and collectibles. Some of our first pieces included ceramic and porcelain figurines and were shipped throughout the US, Germany and Japan. Soon we added crafts, jewelry, quilting, and other fiber arts.

2009 brought significant changes to our business model. While still selling at farmer’s markets, craft shows, events and pop-up markets, we opened our first online shop.

In 2016, we expanded yet again, opening our second online shop with Etsy. It was finally time to share our love of all things vintage; Gone2PiecesVintage was born. This ever-changing shop features anything 20+ years old, including (but not limited to) dinnerware, glassware, collectibles, linens, household items, and some furniture. As we travel and uncover more treasures that makes us smile, we will bring them to you.

Perhaps our biggest leap of faith was in 2019. We opened our first retail store. While still selling online and at local events, the retail location gave us an opportunity to have everything available under one roof. After just a year, we outgrew our original location and moved one block west to the fully restored, former Ben Franklin building. In 2023, we relocated to the old corner bank building and included a “Sweet Shoppe” bringing back some of the candies we remember from our youth, local honey, small batch soda pop and other sweet favorites. Be sure to visit us at 120 N. Wind Street in Flandreau, South Dakota, USA.

2021 brought a new family member to Gone2Pieces with the introduction of SoDak Yarn Company. Starting with national brands, SoDak Yarn Co. offers a wide range of your favorite yarns online and in the Gone2Pieces store in Flandreau. It is our dream to work with local fiber producers to offer natural yarns from South Dakota and to expand to tools, accessories and original patterns for fiber artists to make their own amazing creations.

We grew again in 2022 with the addition of stationery under the name LoLo Pond. We feature designs from local artists as well as our own creations and currently offer greeting cards, postcards and vinyl stickers. Need a custom design? We’re excited to work with you!

Over the years our main product lines (and our name) have changed, but our commitment to excellence has not. Gone2Pieces is a process. It is a creative outlet for me and a vehicle for others to begin their journey in inspiration and design. Our desire to encourage other artists and artisans allows us to showcase local talent and bring their creations into the Gone2Pieces family. We look forward to what lies ahead. Visit us often to see new discoveries in handmade and vintage.

Gone2Pieces is a family-run business and relies on the talents and innovation of each member. Here’s a little about me as the founder. I am a wife, mother of three and grandma of two. I grew up in the Mid-Atlantic, moved to the tropics then the Northern Prairie where our family works with Native American teens. I love to bake and cook from scratch, garden, knit, quilt, create anything that inspires me, homeschool, read, sing, and serve others. I am always ready for a road trip but can spend hours in my own backyard. My family means the world to me, my faith – even more.

In an effort to give back, Gone2Pieces gives a portion of every sale to non-profit organizations. We are currently supporting Native American ministries and the local food pantry.

Join us as we stroll through yesteryear and find inspiration in those around us. Remember when…
