Our Helping Hands
“Sue, can you …?” “Helmut, will you…?”
You hear that a lot here and, luckily for us, they can and will and do. Always ready to fill in, fix and contribute, we’re very happy they’re part of our Laura’s family.

Originally from Pennsylvania, Sue arrived here in 1983 to be near family. Introduced to the world of antiques by a friend, she now incorporates her enjoyment of decorating by concentrating on collectibles and decor she likes for her own home. A friendly greeting and helpful attitude have made Sue one of our customers’ favorite people.
A chef from Germany, Helmut worked in Europe and New York and owned his own restaurant for many years. (This might be one reason why our buffets are so popular!) He retired to St. Lucie County in 1992. Helmut’s carpentry skills are revealed in the wonderful reproduction primitive furniture they offer at very affordable prices.
Together they have a son, two daughters, and a grandson. Their 7-year-old Maltese Molly is the boss of potbelly pig Timmy who’s 11. Working in the yard, gambling and cruising are some of the activities they enjoy. Next time you visit Laura’s, say hello to Sue and Helmut, chat a while, find out if Timmy’s gotten the upper hand yet.
