Hidden Gem (47B Jobs Lane, Southampton, 631-259-3494), Tanya Willock and Temidra Willock Morsch’s brick-and-mortar store of unique, one-of-a-kind, wondrous items for the home and beyond, launched in 2019 but it’s the culmination of lifetime of inspiration.
Tucked away in a little brick courtyard just off Jobs Lane, it’s not just a feast of textures and colors in home décor, jewelry and other accoutrements and accents. It’s their very own incubator of creativity, be it their own hand-made items, those of the craftspeople from whom they source, the inspired one-of-a-kind tablescapes they build out for memorable celebrations or the super fun and surprise-filled kids’ parties they create. It’s a family affair, for sure, but one that, kind of like the formation of a precious stone, forms organically — and that’s just the way the sisters like it.
