Operates Vacant to Vibrant; expanding the model beyond downtown

Laurie Cain Furber bought vintage oak dressers, antique art and stoneware on a June buying trip through southern France and shipped them in a 20-foot container. The container reached the U.S. in early October, and her East Bay store, Elsie Green, was set to open a pop-up at One Embarcadero Center on Oct. 17. Her shop's own Oct. 27 newsletter says the downtown location is now stocked with finds.
