New antique store opens in Pierce County with home decor, clothing, gifts

In July, an antique store in downtown Buckley closed its doors after 27 years in business. Now a new shop has taken its place. Kristi’s Country Store opened Oct. 24 at 745 Main St. featuring antiques, clothing, home goods and artisan items from over a dozen different consignors. The store replaced The Queen’s Ransom, an antique mall that opened just a few doors down in 1999, before moving to 745 Main St. in 2015. Katie Morehead, owner of The Queen’s Ransom, said she’s always been into antiquing, and her mother was, too.

After nearly three decades, Morehead said, it was time to slow down and spend more time with her family. “I’m 63, and I’m tired,” Morehead said, chuckling. “It was a good run.” The timing worked out for Kristi Fernandez, who owns Kristi’s Country Store. Fernandez said she got into antiques as a little girl when her great-grandmother used to take her to garage sales. Fernandez first opened her shop in Sumner in 2012 and rented spaces at local antique malls. The Sumner shop closed in 2018, and
