Hello and greetings from the Motley Junket girls!
We have recently embarked on a new adventure and are so excited to tell you all about it!
The wonderful folks at The Original Goumas Candyland in Granville, Ohio invited us to sell our wares in their new store location at 113 N. Prospect Street in Granville. We thought the combination of homemade chocolates, candies, pastries and our vintage wares would be a fun and quirky retail twist!
We have been so busy over the past few weeks helping to get the new space ready and we are now officially open for business!
Upon entering, you will be greeted with a huge showcase filled with all of the mouth-watering homemade chocolates of The Original Goumas Candyland! Coconut haystacks (Polly's personal fave), creams, chocolate covered potato chips and pretzels.....and the list goes on and on! They also offer jars and jars of candy like gummies, chocolate covered coffee beans, malted milk balls, and individually wrapped caramels.
We did displays throughout the space with our vintage and handmade goods. You'll find lollipops, chocolate covered race cars and kettle corn mixed into our displays too!
This area really encompasses our look and many of our loves............empty frames, cubbies, dress forms, galvanized tubs, wire bins, and that old workbench is pretty cool!
We have two sets of these fabulous old drawers in their original patina.
This space is fabulous because there is a large front room, but it keeps going back with two smaller rooms. In the middle section, we have this amazingly cool vintage massage table (will post more pics of the base constructed of pipes later). We've added an assortment of funky and sweet pillows and other pop-art style and graphic goods such as solid chocolate letters and numbers, scrabble letters, and vintage letters.
I added a bevy of butterflies made from antique book pages to this huge grapevine wreath. Fabulous over a headboard or a mantle!
I am IN LOVE with these handmade ruffled farmhouse pillows made by Jane, a close family friend with an obviously amazing talent!!
Of course we have old frames! I made a few wreaths with vintage velveteen ribbon and handmade book page rosettes.
This cute room in the back of the store is filled with vintage pieces and is all ready for the Fourth of July!
You'll find ironstone, industrial bits, vintage furniture, architectural elements, wire baskets, canvas water bags, and so much more! I am so loving these built in shelves for display! We covered the wall in old dictionary pages.....each page was hand picked by an adorable 9 year old girl who's a Motley Junket girl in training! She has a great eye for all the neat old graphics!
That old cabinet door in the corner has been repurposed as a chalkboard. It sits at approximately 5 feet tall.
Just wanted to whet your appetites with some photos tonight........I'll do another post soon with more pics!
