Located in Essex, Connecticut, Naples, Florida and for a short time, Watch Hill, Rhode Island, the stores combined her love of travel and fashion. Aegean Treasures clothing and jewelry have homes in many closets, in many states in this country. For those who knew Nancy, her adventurous side was easily matched by her kindness and generosity.
