Nostalgia’s Cottage–Opening Soon–and you’re invited!!

 

Hello from sunny Mansfield, Ohio!!  It’s not quite spring…it really, really wants to be, but it’s just not quite made it – and boy are we ready!!!  Daffodils are looking nervous…

And now for some BIG news…

Susan, Terri and I have been busy girls…our dream of a permanent location for “occasional markets” has come true, and we have taken up residence on the square in downtown Mansfield (yes, we’re doing the happy dance!!!).

We’ve been painting, redecorating, painting (oh, I said that…), and stockpiling lots of furniture, smalls, our redesigned jewelry and picture frames, signs…and SO MUCH MORE!!!  We’ve even got room in the basement to play, I mean paint, build, and store our treasures for our upcoming markets and shows this year!!  Here’s our storefront…

Magnolia…taking center stage in the front window – she’s anticipating a line at the front door on April 4th (so are we!!!)…  She’s modeling one of Terri’s newest necklaces…fabulous “dahling”!!!

Check out the “check out” area…

We had to divide the space, so we hinged some old doors together – added some chalkboard paint to one, chicken wire to the next, and voila – a very fun-ctional wall!!

That’s all I can share for now (we’ve got soooo much to do)…stay tuned and make plans to occasionally shop at our “market”!!

AND…To keep up to date on what we’re doing…daily…

  1. Yeah for the three of you. I can't wait. I can't come on the 4th but I will be there as soon as I can after. I just bet you have had a great time putting this together. I am sure it will be a great success. Congratulations and I already liked your FB page.

  2. Congratulations and much success to all of you, Kathy! If I can figure out where Mansfield is {I've only lived in Ohio 2 1/2 years} I'd love to come by and visit!
