In the mood for Fall


     Life has been a whirlwind around here and I must say I am ready for the quiet, cooler Fall days, when I sit inside crafting and sipping coffee. We have been bringing loads of new "old" merchandise to the shop and constantly redoing areas as furniture items sell. This business is a nonstop, no breaks allowed type of work. Just when I think it is all set for a few days, I get that phone call. And do I complain, No, I am thrilled, don't get me wrong, sales are a wonderful thing. 



      So today I will do something different and join "White Wednesday"http://fadedcharmcottage.blogspot.com/  I always look at all the lovely posts, and I hugely admire Kathleen who hosts this fun event so I will be sharing some velvet pumpkins I've been working on along with a chippy white crown display pc.

Updates from the Store

    We have been busily preparing the "Barn" area at the store for a huge salvage area in the back. We have a small salvage area but it can"t accommodate the amount of doors, windows, architectural pcs that we have available to sell. 
    First we had to clear out a large area and then move an amount of our items to another area in the store that we are now also filling with mostly garden and a bit more color.

  Our "Barn" area at Glory Days Antiques

  In the next week we will be bringing in all kinds of fun vintage doors, windows, hardware, all things that are not readily available in the Eugene area. If you are in the area stop in for a visit. There are lots of new venders and loads of great new merchandise in the store.  Located at 21st and Main in Springfield

Wedding Fun

     The last couple weeks have been busy for sure. I got the pleasure of doing the flowers and decorating for my dear friend's daughter's wedding. My beautiful 4th daughter, is the bridesmaid on the right side. My family went camping as was planned a year in advance, so I was left behind with #4 daughter to enjoy "wedding," befores, during and afters.
    After cleaning up from wedding event we also were able to go camping and enjoy family and friends for a week.




                                                                                         Here are some photos of the wedding  preparations
