.... And Another Chapter!

It's been a while, and many changes have come about.   For starters, (and perhaps most importantly) Circa as you know it is closing down. Yes, those shiny, happy beautiful images in my last post are now just a memory.  The building we put so much painstaking pride in is now a shell of it's former self.  Our final 3 days are coming up this week...

I'd like to give a big THANK YOU to all of my faithful shoppers- it was because of you Circa was able to hang on as long as it did.

However, while the shop as you know it may be gone, I have some exciting news!  In addition to keeping my etsy shop open, Circa will be open 5 days / month at The Rusty Truck Occasional Shop in Mayer, MN.  This place is magical, I urge you to make time at the end of each month and get inspired!  You will find antiques, junk, vintage, re-purposed goodies and furniture.  My booth is on the top floor, right by the staircase.

 New Trends

 Mixing Vintage with Modern at Circa

A Store is Born

Moving closer and closer to opening day... the vision has come together. Now to stocking shelves, racks and minor touches here and there- July 30 is the day the first customer will be stepping foot inside. A special moment for sure.  Below are some more sneaks!

 Broken glass.. everywhere... if it ain't about the money, mama just don't care.

 Chic new flooring

 Studio space for the expanding online shop!

Just a pair of boots walking on a shelf.

New Shop Updates

 Ingenuity, hardware, galvanized steel, spray paint, anchors, reciprocating saws.... has been the name of the game lately!  It has been so much fun putting our heads together, being creatives in love...

 Late nights and Rough Sketches.

This not.....

that.

 

Painting into the Weeeee Hours

 My husband and I logged 20 hours of painting in 48 hours over the weekend! Looks fantastic, so bright and fresh. This shop is going to be killer!

We even had time for some break dancing ! This is Desmond taking advantage of the wide-openness. 

Floors are polished. Look at the difference! Highly recommend the Bona Floor System. 

Next phase: The Accessories Emporium

Circa v.3.0

 Been a while! Truth is, we have been scouting out possible new locations for the shop.  After many showings, debates, market research, late nights we realized that the best solution is right in our back yard (or front yard!) We are staying in our beloved Wayzata, MN. and moving just across the street from our current location... but tripling our sq. footage. Frankly, we have outgrown our quaintness. Time to spread some wings! Could not be more excited, anxious, happy, certain yet completely overwhelmed with what lies ahead and  I've decided to chronicle every step of the way, and work starts today! 

Phase 1: Paint. the interior walls. The color chosen: Raw Cotton. I figured a textile named color is a good choice for a clothing store, eh?

 All I know, is these walls gotta GO! Hip-hip hooray for blank slates!

 Stand by for AFTER photos. Wait until you see the exterior...
