We are the three youngest of a big family; in our childhood always lumped together, in thrifty familyspeak, as "the three little girls". But if we've grown up figuratively joined at the hip, our aesthetic tastes have always--like that beautiful old "Three Sisters" pressed glass pattern--looked in distinctly different directions.
Haley favors clean lines and spare simplicity; Marnie, with five teenage sons, tends toward the classics with heavy emphasis on low-maintenance durability; Clemmie loves Retro, Mid-Century Modern, the wildly unexpected and/or beguilingly silly.
Among the qualities we all love in clothes and home decor are deep comfort, joyous color, how-did-I-ever-get-along-without-it practicality, artful originality, and-- whether in a 200 year-old chair or a new handbag--fine design and execution.
 Among the things none of us love is throwing money around for no good reason. To borrow an immortal line from an old Dave Barry column (rationalizing his futile attempt to strip ~40 coats of paint from a cheap yard-sale chest of drawers), "Anyone can furnish a house for $650,000.00". We spend extra hours looking for not just exceptional merchandise, but for exceptional merchandise that can be sold at an exceptionally good price, and our markup is always the lowest the costs of doing business will allow.
 We welcome you to our three-heads-are-better-than-one Uncommon Market. We advise you to check in often, because we stock almost nothing that's not one (or very, very few) of a kind.
