Happy 10th Anniversary To The Gathering

Posted on February 24, 2026 at 11:04 AM by Kevin Stahr

This month, The Gathering is celebrating a special milestone — 10 years of Carrie Tatone sharing her creativity and beautifully curated finds with our community.

Carrie made the move to Geneva in 2015 and opened her shop in 2016 inside the historic Berry House Shops, where she spent seven wonderful years building a loyal following. For the past three years, you will now find The Gathering Geneva just a few blocks away, right next door to Livia Italian Eatery.

Step inside and you will instantly see Carrie’s gift:

  • Vintage treasures
  • Antiques & primitive folk art
  • One-of-a-kind pieces
  • Thoughtfully styled seasonal décor

Every visit feels like a new discovery.

Beyond her beautiful shop, Carrie is one of downtown’s biggest cheerleaders. She consistently supports her fellow merchants, engages with the community on social media, and proudly participates in community-focused events like Autumn Fest Geneva, Vintage Shop Hop, Downtown Trick-Or-Treating, and First Fridays.

Carrie, congratulations on 10 incredible years of gathering beautiful things and building something truly special in our community. We are so lucky to have you downtown.
