A Beloved DC Shop Says Goodbye After 28 Years

Miss Pixie’s Furnishings and Whatnot is closing its doors for good.

A Treasure Trove for Nearly Three Decades

For nearly thirty years, this quirky shop has been a go-to spot for unique finds. From handmade art to secondhand furniture, it's been a treasure trove for locals and newcomers alike.

A Hub for Creativity and Community

Pixie Windsor, the owner, has seen it all—selling everything from carpets to silverware, postcards to dishes, and even used magazines. The store has been a hub for creativity and community, with many customers becoming friends over the years.

Support from the Community

Windsor's journey hasn't been solo. She's had plenty of help from neighbors and loyal customers who've pitched in with deliveries or watched the store when needed. The support from the community has been heartwarming, and she's grateful for the connections she's made.

A Melting Pot of Global Treasures

DC is a city of transplants, and Windsor has met many of her customers when they first moved here for college. Young adults, sometimes with their parents, would stop by to furnish their new apartments—nightstands, mirrors, and more. The shop has also been a melting pot of global treasures, thanks to DC’s international crowd. Windsor often received furniture and decor from diplomats’ estates, each piece telling a story of far-off places like India, Turkey, and China.

The Last Day to Visit

While the physical store is closing, Windsor isn’t saying goodbye to selling entirely. She’ll still offer art pieces online, but the last day to visit the shop is Friday. If you’re looking for a deal, most items are at least 20% off. One standout piece Windsor loves is a white circular sofa—something she’s wanted for years and finally found just before closing.

The Next Chapter

It’s the end of an era, but Windsor is ready for the next chapter. She’s looking forward to visiting friends abroad and enjoying some well-deserved relaxation.
