Old and Everlasting...defined....

Many times we have been asked
"how did you come up with the name
Old and Everlasting?"
I love that question...
Because the answer has changed 
over the years...
Probably because we have changed....
It started out as a simple answer...
 But as the years have gone by we have 
grown into our name...
It was a name meant to be...
Starting out simple...
Old for antiques and
Everlasting for dried flowers...
that explains it...
but it's turned out to be much much more...
*********


OLD...
When we started, the "old" part was all
about antiques...and it still is... but with more depth now...
We Love old things....
Old windows,doors, shutters....cupboards...
Houses,buildings....
they have a certain charm and warmth that can't
be captured in any other way....
The look of Old...
history....
 character...
the marks of wear tell a special story...
********

EVERLASTING...

this word that signified dried flowers
is full of meaning...
an experience or feeling that
lasts..always positive...
something to take with you... 
everlasting...
timeless...
enduring...
The most important part of this 
business for us is our customers
enjoyment...
 To experience the charm of the old....
while presenting the new....
That's what we are all about...
For we also love the New...
It's Fresh,Colorful and Exciting...
Old and Everlasting.....
A blending of Old and New...
intended to bring Everlasting Joy to all
who walk in and out of our door....
We have grown in to what
we are supposed to be...


 And if we were to wrap a box
and call it Old and Everlasting....
How would we wrap it?
And what would be inside?
It would start out Simple and Plain...
 A Recycled Kraft Box...
Sturdy and Practical...
It would be adorned with pretty ribbons..
all colors,textures and shapes...
A Happy Box...
yes that would be it...
And the inside....
well... one never knows what would be 
inside...
For that is the constant charm...
We do know that it will be filled with all
that we Love and want to share with 
all of you...
And because we are all unique and special people
so will our inventory be...
Something for everyone....
Stay tuned for our Springtime Opening
on March 9th!

Website....

  1. Old and Everlasting describes my decorating style to a "T"--we have a new home, but I love to bring in lots of vintage touches (old windows, doors, garden tools, farm tools and other things!) to give the house warmth and a little bit of character...this must be why I adore your shop so...well, that and the fact that it's run by YOU!!
