While Deep Creek Lake has many unique shopping experiences, options for women’s clothing has not been one of them. And while local photographer Marcia Warnick never saw herself fulfilling that role, a chance meeting literally changed her life’s direction.
Marcia, a Grantsville native, had a position working at Railey Realty as assistant to co-owner Bill Weisgerber. In addition to photography, Marcia was involved in the marketing aspect at Railey. At a marketing seminar last January, Marcia took a class with a woman from the same town in Minnesota in which Marcia had lived years ago.
The woman had a successful clothing boutique which piqued Marcia’s interest.
After a lengthy conversation where Marcia learned the ins and outs of the clothing business, and an offer of mentoring from the boutique owner, Marcia knew she had found a new path and so Cashmere Clothing was born.
“I always thought we needed to have that kind of boutique at Deep Creek,” said Marcia. “Something with clothing that would appeal not only to vacationers but priced so that locals could afford them as well.”
