Boutique Owner Celebrates 30 Years in Chatham

Chatham, NJ – When Doris Crater sewed an appliqué flower onto her daughter Kimberly’s tennis skirt in 1978, she never thought it would turn into a successful Main Street business.

“I would personalize their clothes and towels,” Crater said. “I just loved to sew.”

But when she would take those personalized towels to the pool or the tennis club, people would come up to her and ask where they could get one, too.
