When One Door Closes

 

Isn't the old saying true?

When one door closes, another opens?

 

 

This is the old barn where I have had

my antique booth for many, many years.

 

 

 

How many times I have walked through

this set of doors with my arms filled

with vintage goodies to sell.

 

 

 

We moved out yesterday.

 

 

 

 
 

It was bittersweet.

There were so many memories there.

I began while I was still working in local television.
Learning about antiques, having fun meeting collectors.

 

It is an experience you just can't get online.

 

 

Fourteen years of my life passed while I

bought and sold all kinds of vintage things.

 

 

 

We even had our wedding reception on the grounds of this antique mall.

The property is beautiful outside. There were weeping willows,

flowers, beautiful statuary.


( I will show pictures from our wedding in a 
10 year anniversary post coming up in May!)

 

 

Our time here is over, for now. For us, anyway.

The property has been sold. The new owner, ironically,

is turning it into a wedding/bridal/party event place.

Great idea! We even used it for the same reason.

 

They say it will stay an antique mall while the rest

of the property hosts weddings, bridal showers, parties, etc.,

 but only time will tell if it remains.

 

For me, after closing this door, I need

to figure out which door to open next.

Do I expand my online sales?

Get a full time job and keep

Bella Rosa as a hobby?

 

While I am waiting, my first task is to find

a place for all of the stuff we packed away!

 

Some of it is going straight

to my online shop

Stay tuned...
