Tomorrow is Friday......Celebrate!

Pinterest
Just want everyone to know that I am closing at 3:00 PM tomorrow, Friday.  Please excuse me for doing it but I have to make time to be other places, too.

COTTAGE will be open at 10:00 AM Saturday, as usual so please come see me.  Looking forward to it.

Three Month Anniversary of COTTAGE

Hello all.  As of yesterday, the 22nd, COTTAGE Vintage Home has been here 3 big months.  Business has been great and very encouraging in spite of the economy.

I wish to say thank you to all of you who have made this first 3 month successful.  Your visits and purchases have been welcomed and I hope to see many more of you in the coming months.

Please feel free to keep up with COTTAGE Vintage Home via Facebook or here on my blog.

Life Has Been A Circus, of sorts.....

Well, here I am tired and happy that Barn House went soooo very well for me this year.  That being said, I am having to step away from the Camas Vintage Faire because I do not have as much merchandise as I would normally have and I always want to put my best foot forward at these shows.  So I made the decision today that I will NOT be a dealer at this year's Camas show.  This breaks my heart but I feel it is the best thing to do under the circumstances.

So if there is anyone who has been wanting to do that show, please contact Sarah Voss from Roost Reimagined to talk with her about my vacated spot.

On with the circus.......................

But please be sure to stop by my shoppe, COTTAGE, if you are coming thru Vancouver on the day of the show.  I will be open 10 to 4 with all types of goodies and fresh pieces, as well.  Hope to see you all at my shoppe.

Found a French Campaign bed from the 1800's.  Not real sure if I should buy it or not.  What do you guys think?

Cedar top farm table......cute

This beautiful table is a featured item at my shop, COTTAGE. 

The table is made of recycled wood salvaged here and there, as well as, the cedar plank used on the top.  It is 6 feet long and comes with the 6 chairs, too.  $400.

Come see this great table and many other great items at the shop.  Don't miss your chance to pick up some great things in Vancouver.

PGE PARK....neon letters for sale

This past weekend I was given the opportunity to see the original PGE PARK neon letters that were taken down.  All 7 letters, in all their glory.  And guess what?  They are up for sale!!!!!

Now those of you with big enough shops or a customer who has a huge loft or something would naturally be the ones that could envision these up and lit.  How great would that be?!

Anyway, if there are any interested parties out there in blogland, please drop me an email or ring me because these are historical and will not last too long.

Have a great day....................

Well, here we are, 2 weeks into the store and I am having a heck of a time.  How great it is knowing that I can come and go as I please, to a certain extent anyway, and not feel guilty.  What a feeling. But, I'm not going to lie to you, there are nights that I worry just about everything.  How do I get more customers in the store, what type of ads should I run, are my hours alright.  You know, all the small things.  But I can confidently tell you that it all is falling into place very nicely.  Merchandise is filling the store almost daily and I can't wait to get a few newly purchased pieces to put in the shop. If you have not already been here, please stop on by for a look.  Most of you are familiar with my style and the shop is filled to the brim with more of the same.
Have a great day.....................
