How it all came about...Bonnie and Scott Teeples are the owners and operators of Keeper’s Corner LLC - Antique, Craft and Collectible Mall. When the announcement was made that Crafters Market was closing at the end of 2006, customers and vendors alike, asked if the Teeples’ would consider opening a new store. And so Keeper’s Corner was born!

The Teeples’ answered an ad in the Nickel to rent a space in a craft mall, and that created a monster!!! They started with one 4x6 ft booth in Crafters Market, and within a couple of years were renting several more booths. Over the fourteen years they were in Crafters Market, the Teeples have seen crafting trends come and go, and have changed some of their items with the trends. However, there are some items that are customer favorites that they continue to produce.
-
They both enjoy crafting, and creating items of beauty for the home and yard. Scott does wood work and metal art, and Bonnie does country and primitive decorating accents for the home and yard. Scott continues to sub at the various schools in the Klamath Basin and ref volleyball and wrestling. Both are very involved in the National Association for Family and Community Education (FCE).

Bonnie was the manager of Crafters Market for fourteen years, and brings to Keeper’s Corner the management and people skills necessary to make the business successful.
