NORWICH – Longtime Chenango County resident Susan Wood said for most of her adult life, she’s dreamed of opening her own gift shop and now that dream is about to come true.

Thymely Treasures, an “eclectic collection of gifts and home decor,” will officially open on July 10, said Wood, who, due to the personal adversity she faced in the last year, “really felt the need to pursue my dream.”
