From the Brewery to the Baby Boutique, Tim & Amy Love Living in Ferndale

In honor of Valentine's Day, we're taking a look at some of Ferndale's cutest couples.

Ferndale has its fair share of lovebirds, so we decided to check in with a few of them before Valentine's Day and ask them to share relationship and date night secrets.

Today, we take a closer look at what makes Ferndale residents Tim and Amy Gattshall so sweet.

It started as half-off Monday night dinners at the WAB and then it transitioned to ice cream at Treat Dreams and now its shopping at Modern Natural Baby!
