a Native of Norlina NC, which is a small town located between beautiful Lake Gaston and Kerr Lake. Lorie grew up learning the flower business from her mother Linda.  Along with running a full service florist shop, Linda also provided custom picture framing which proved to be a winning combination for the small rural town of Norlina.  The business during that time was named Hundley's Flowers & Frames  and Linda ran it for 30 years before selling it to another owner.  When in 2004 the new owner relocated, Lorie decided to rekindle the family business in it's original location under the name Heritage House.

A close friend of the family, Mrs. Freida Haun (age 93), taught Lorie the craft of Chair Caning 5 years ago.  Lorie was so impressed with how much fun it was to take an old antique caned chair and restore it back to its original state that she decided to integrate her newly found hobby into her business.  As Lorie states, "It’s interesting to see what kind of chair will come through the door next.  Whether it is a precious antique, Grandma’s rocker or a great flea market find, we can restore your chair bottom to new life.  Our services include pressed cane (cane webbing), hand woven cane, binding cane, splint fiber and natural rush, shaker tape, French caning, and leather embossed seating.  We use only select cane and the waiting time is usually less than 2 weeks."

"So, if you’ve ever wished you had a brand new ‘bottom’ for your chair, you’ve come to the right place.  Visit us today in the small historic town of Norlina in Warren County North Carolina, just 50 miles north of Raleigh."
