The Silvers!

The Silver Family

We are happy to have the opportunity to continue the legacy of Bittersweet Fabric Shop.

About Us:

Randy & Holly- (pictured on right) Married for 28 years, and have lived in Boscawen for 27 years and counting. 6 years ago, Holly decided to start her own business in vintage decor and local crafts. Since she started her shop, An Eclectic Whim, she found a growing need for reupholstery in the local area. She then decided to transform her small shop into an Upholstery and Custom Sewing workroom, which since, has taken off into flight and is busier than ever!

Randy has a history in the town water department, sales in medical equippment, and lawn care. In the past year, Randy decided to learn about sewing machine maintenance and repair in an effort to accompany his wife in her business journey. Being friends with David LaValley for over 20 years, once word came around that Dave was looking to retire, Randy knew right away that this new business journey was right up their alley!

Devon & Kaylei- (pictured on left) Married in 2021, both born and raised locally in New Hampshire. Devon started to work with his mother 3 years into her business journey, reupholstering furniture, and has since become the head upholsterer at the shop. With his previous years in retail customer service, and his new knowledge and passion for sewing, Devon has been eager to learn more, training with his father, to repair and maintain sewing machines.

Kaylei, growing up in a very artistic family, has always been very creative, and enjoys many hobbies. Following after her mother, Kaylei has always enjoyed sewing and baking. Right after graduating High School, Kaylei started to work in a coffee shop located in Laconia. After working there for 3 years, she decided it was time for a change. Hearing all the talk about Bittersweet from her in-laws, Kaylei was intrigued, and eager to get involved!

David has been working intimately with Randy for the past several months, training him with the ins and outs of Janome Sewing Machines. In those months David has entrusted Randy with ALL Sewing Machine cleanings and repairs. David will continue to stick around the shop until the end of June 2022 to ensure this transition be as smooth as possible.
