Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joy: The Online Diary of a Central Oregon Grandmother

Welcome to the online diary of a Central Oregon Grandmother (me) who is busy celebrating the positive portions of her everyday life ... along with her best friend husband (Cary). It is quite an eclectic diary and I try to do my best to incorporate a little bit of history into many of my posts. Your visit to our piece of American Pie is greatly appreciated. This chatty Kathy posts frequently, so coming back to visit often is highly encouraged.

Trivia Antiques Part Three: The Inside

Hello Friends!

Yesterday I went into Bend, Oregon, and photographed an awesome antique shop. There are tons of pictures on here, but I thought that you guys might enjoy them. There are links to a couple of other posts on this one, that show the rest of the shop if you are interested.

Would you believe me if I told you that with all the pictures I took here yesterday, that I had only scratched the surface of what is in Wendy's store? Everything is displayed with love and attention, and I don't know how she bears to let anything be sold. I told her that would be the hardest part of working there for me. I would probably keep saying, wait a minute ... I think I want to keep that!

I hope that you guys all enjoyed this field trip. Just give Wendy a call or email her if you see something you like and have questions about.

LV said...: What a great store. I would love browsing in there all day. Thanks for letting us enjoy the shopping through your lens.; January 20, 2011 at 5:05 AM
Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joy said...: Hi Honey,
Thanks for coming by to say hello!

Hi LV,
Oh, me too! I was on a mission with my camera, so I didn't spend too much time "shopping". Since I was capturing the images, I decided to go home and look things over and go back there when I have some money to spend. It was interesting to see some of the similar things I have a home, and see how much they were going for in the store.

Thanks so much for telling me where Bend is in relationship to Parkdale! I still have some family in Portland, keep thinking I'll make it up there some day again but time has a way of moving along, doesn't it?!
What a wonderful shop - I am drooling over all the doggies, I want to start a doggie collection. :)

Happy VTT,

Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joy said...: Hi Sally,

You are very welcome. Thanks for stopping by ... the doggies are cute, aren't they? That store was magical once you got inside. Wendy has the "touch" with how she displays things.

God bless,

Ann said...: I spotted several things I'd want. My hubby is a retired firefighter and I love the little red fire engine book. And wow any one who collects cameras would be in heaven. Thanks for the glimpse.

Coloradolady said...: Oh, wow. I wish I had been with you, this looks like a wonderful store. So glad you linked in to show us all these treasures today!! I love, love the quilts. Happy VTT!; January 20, 2011 at 7:53 PM
Deborah Kay at The Paint Splash said...: Looks like a fun place to get lost in for several hours! Have a blessed week and welcome to VTT; January 20, 2011 at 9:33 PM
Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joy said...: Hi Ann,
Fire engine/fighter stuff would be a fun collection to have. I know what you meant about the cameras. I turned that corner and stopped short, saying OH!! This digital stuff is so easy, but think of what they went through in the old days to get great pics.

Hi Coloradolady,
I wish that you were there too! I'm happy that you enjoyed looking at everything. Did you see the other two posts about it? Thanks for hostessing VTT and letting me participate.

Hi Deborah Kay,
You got that right. I was there for about an hour and knew I was missing so much. It is a great shop. Thanks so much for stopping by to say hi.

I have entered all of you into my CSN drawing for leaving a comment. It will be held on Monday. Have a great weekend!

Becca said...: Hi Kathy, yep, that's the place! She has so many lovely things in there and you did a wonderful job of capturing it with your camera! I'm off to check out the other links. :-); January 21, 2011 at 7:59 AM
Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joy said...: Thanks, Becca ... I kept thinking I'd better get that project done so that you could see it again.; January 21, 2011 at 9:21 AM
Kathy said...: Soooo much to see! I know I have missed lots this visit. Those vintage cameras caught my eye and the tile-front cabinet is beautiful. I enjoyed your music as well. Thanks for sharing!; January 21, 2011 at 7:48 PM
Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joy said...: Hi Kathy,

Thank you so much for stopping by. I know, there is so much to see ... I broke it into 3 posts and I hope that you got to see them all. I could have spent all day in that store and not found everything though.

Take care,
