Almost Spring at Old Glory!



 
 
We always look forward the change of seasons at the store. It gives us a chance to
refresh our space, and nothing is more refreshing than the colors,
textures, shapes and scents of spring! Here are a few of our favorite things
about springtime at Old Glory!
 
 
 
 




We have a beautiful selection of architectural salvage pieces.  From old porch posts to
window frames to chunky corbels, these pieces of the past bring a touch of the
outdoors into your home to add a bit of charm and fun to your springtime decor.







The store is full of happy colors, just in time for spring! Fun green shutters offer a
cheerful backdrop. Funky red metal drawers are part of a wonderful old
wood and metal work bench, perfect for a kitchen island.
And a pretty blue sap can is the perfect container for spring greenery.


 






And we love the old worn, chippy, peely patina of well-loved surfaces
any time of the year...simply beautiful!

Twenty-two things I love about the Old Glory Antiques Fair!

This year, Old Glory will host the twenty-sixth annual Old Glory Antiques Fair,
an outdoor antiques show featuring over 70 dealers from Colorado and surrounding states.
I look forward to hosting this event all year long! 

The 2013 show will be held on June 14 + 15 at beautiful Clement Park in
Littleton, Colorado. I hope you can join us! You can keep up with the
Fair, get behind-the-scenes updates, and see what special events and guests
