So Many Updates: We Moved and Business is Booming!

Our last post was August. And now it's Christmas Eve. Where has the time gone? Oh we can tell you!!

Since our last posts announcing our retail space, so much has happened.



First, we stayed busy keeping merchandise stocked at The Vintage Vine in downtown Littleton. We were really proud of our little space there and learned a lot about what customers in that area of town were looking for. We took a slightly more colorful approach with our booth.

Second, we've become a supplier to the ever-so-amazing store in Greenwood Village called Dwell. This store is one we've admired from afar for years and when they got the chance to move into a new space at double the size, the time was right to partner with the owner, Joy. The ladies that run this store are truly creative, kind and service oriented. Make sure you stop in and see what they have to offer. You'll find some of our great finds and refinished furniture mixed into the space.

Third, we decided to move our booth space to a new location. Beginning on November 2nd, we moved into a larger space at Unlisted in Centennial. We are so excited to bring you more merchandise, furniture and vintage finds in this unique store. You can find everything from pies to candles, clothing and gifts at this fun artisan mart. Make sure you venture to the back room where our booth is located in a prime corner space. AND the first Thursday of every month is Ladies Night from 5:00-8:00. Deals galore, free wine and snacks.

At Unlisted: In December, Kandy brought in this remade sewing machine base

Fourth, Karli took a giant leap of faith and left her job to pursue this exciting business full time. Between the new retail space (where business is booming) and the opportunity to partner with Dwell, she decided the time was right to take her dream seriously.

 

We can't thank you all enough for your continued support of our business. We know the future is bright!!

Holiday blessings and a happy New Year to all of you!

Brick and Mortar

Update November 2015: We are not longer vendors at the Vintage Vine. You can find us at Unlisted: An Artisan Boutique and Market. We are thankful for our time at the Vintage Vine.

Where's your store?

Do you have a shop?

Where can I find you again?

Up until last weekend, the answer to that question was, "You can read the blog and find us at the Paris Street Market once a year."

And that was a bummer. We wanted more. We wanted the chance to build relationships with our customers and set beautiful displays and curate a set of merchandise to make people happy.

And then it happened.

They say timing is everything and they don't joke! Karli started doing research into vendors like us who had been successful at opening a retail store and she stumbled upon the website FindItOnTheVine.com. One phone call to the shop and the rest is, as you say, history.

 
The Vintage Vine is the cutest little store located in Historic Downtown Littleton. The building itself is a craftsman style home. The manager of the store and concept, Stacey, is a hard-working, kind-hearted, keen-eyed woman. Along with Stacey and seven other vendors, we now share the space---and boy what a lovely space it is!!

 
We have a portion of the back room, which we share with another absolutely lovely lady named Polly. Ironically enough, Polly and her daughter share their business as well. Could this be any more perfect?!

So, we hope you visit the store if you're ever in the Denver area. We hope you'll follow along on the store's Facebook page and the website to keep up to date on all that latest happenings.

We are grateful. We are excited.

And, yes, we do have a store you can visit us at!


All the best,
Karli and Kandy
