• Field trip to visit The Stove Lady.

    My house had a big red Chambers stove when I moved in, but it definitely needed some work. Carlita and her crew coaxed the appliance back to life and have been looking after it ever since. She even found a complete set of accessory parts for the built-in slow cooker!

    If you are trying to find or refurbish a vintage stove, Carlita is the person to call.
