CHAPPELL -- When Beulah, the namesake for Beulah's Emporium, approached Ann Mick and her husband about buying her home, she received two reactions. 

Ann's vision of a coffee shop, and gifts, excited her enough a deal was made. She sold her home to the Mick's when she had to enter a nursing home.

Ann said she could see the corner location as a coffee shop with fresh-made baked goods, and an assortment of gifts.

The name Beulah's Emporium is in recognition of the former owner of the house. It now implies a moment of peace and tranquility in an environment almost reminiscent of a grandma's kitchen, complimented by an every-changing array of retail items from coffees and homemade jellies and jams to whatever a vendor asks to sell and Mick feels fits with the environment.

The store has become more than expected. Her goal was a coffee offering in a retail gift and antique store. Soon both the quaint table settings and the walls lined with gifts attracted the public.

They also host public events at Beulah's Emporium including the "Bountiful Harvest Festival."

"The Bountiful Harvest Festival started out because we have lots of fruit trees and apple trees. And we acquired an apple cider press. It's over 100 years old. So we press apples from our trees and sell apple cider, and people can participate, and make the cider with us," she said.

The day isn't limited to picking apples and making cider. It is a day event.

"We also have craft vendors, and we serve chuckwagon food, and we have live music," Mick said.

The Bountiful Harvest Festival is scheduled for noon to 3 p.m. Sunday, October 20. She said it is a fun time with children's games and craft vendors.
