No . . . Chris's prices on shirts were THAT high without autographs.

That's the deal-maker, really, and you won't be sure of it anywhere else unless it's signed right in front of you!

Whose Minette?
Interesting, though

Scottsdale store offers Stevie Nicks' memorabilia

People travel from as far away as Canada, Midwestern states and New York to peruse and purchase the memorabilia of rock and roll royalty Stevie Nicks.

But all Scottsdale residents need to do is drive across the street from the Hotel Valley Ho to a three-bedroom house built in the '50s.

The Silver Spring Emporium is owned by Nicks' mother, Barbara, and run by her cousin, Minette Nicks Lebrecht.

The cottage-like antique shop has a long history in Scottsdale, although its grand reopening was just in November.

Nicks Lebrecht, a former bank manager and accountant, grew up with Nicks in Phoenix and her family later followed Stevie's family to California. Nicks Lebrecht returned to Arizona in the '80s.

SHOP'S HISTORY: The shop operated next door to where it is now 25 years ago. Barbara Nicks then moved the shop to Payson. It operated there for 11 years and then all of the items went into storage until eight months ago. The shop items have been collected by Barbara Nicks, who is 82, and living in Paradise Valley.

THE NAME: The store's name comes from a song Stevie Nicks wrote for the "Rumours" album, although the song was not included in the album. This caused a long-term rift between Stevie Nicks and Mick Fleetwood. The song did not reappear until the Reunion Tour in 1997. Stevie Nicks wrote the song about her relationship with band member Lindsey Buckingham. The song was to let him know he would hear her on the radio and never forget her.

INVENTORY: Dolls, glassware, military pins, furniture, jewelry and vintage clothing fill every inch of the store. The emporium also has a small, but prominently displayed, collection of memorabilia of Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac.

ABOUT ANTIQUE SHOPPERS: About half the people who come to the shop are fans of Stevie Nicks, Nicks Lebrecht said. Others come looking for a specific item to add to their collection, such as a Hummel, doll or china to complete a set. "I had no idea the number of people who had a specific item in mind and would come into the store looking only for that one item," Nicks Lebrecht said.

DETAILS: During the summer, the shop is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. It is at 6902 E. First Ave., Scottsdale. Find prices and the latest acquisitions at silverspringemporium.com and on Facebook fan page. E-mail the store at info@silverspringemporium .com or call 480-947-1627.
