MIKE DEAL / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS Janice Perkins, owner of Missing Pieces (646 Academy Road). A Denby set with the Bakewell pattern. Since '93, Janice has searched high and low for dinnerware, flatware etc. that customers from all over the world have requested, to complete a cherished set. She started with zero inventory, working out of a bedroom in a three-bedroom apartment, outgrew three spaces (including a retail operation, also on Academy) before moving to her current digs, one year ago.
