GIANT CLEARANCE SALE!

• September 14 at 10:00am until 4:00pm

2837 SE 109th Ave.,Portland, OR 97266 (That's 1 1/2 blocks south of Division Street)

 

• This event has been re-scheduled from last weekend in hopes that more of you can make it. As most of you already know, I am simplifying my life and bringing my studio home. Getting rid of so many things and hopefully there will be something you'd like to take home with you. Small furnishings, assorted vintage pieces, paintings and other art, jewelry, linens, arts & crafts supplies (Tons!), clothing, Brighton belts, holiday décor and so much more! Come early for the best selection! This will probably be a three or four phase event as I have so much to sort through. 28 years in the same house and several different studio locations means alot of inventory. I will be adding more things all the time! *NOTE: I do accept credit cards with the square!  Hope to see you there! xoxo, Chris/Momma Here is a sampling of some of what you will find at the sale:

"Momma's Back!" Well sorta!

 

It's been almost a month since my last blog post and soooh much has happened since then!

I'm all out of Cottage Vintage and Billie is closing up the shop to start a new venture

which we will all be hearing about soon. So now my plan is to create a working studio space in my home. This may sound like no big deal as I already have a studio space, but believe you me, I've got a real big job ahead. My home studio was just that..."MY" home studio! Meaning I sure wouldn't want anyone to join me there! It's one huge mess! I have much sorting, organizing and redecorating to do before I'll be able to have guests. But first I have several shows I'll be participating in as well as my own big sale here at home! So here is what's currently on Momma's

20% OFF - MOVING SALE & EXPO!

 

That's right, MACK & MOMMA is moving again!

I've decided to keep my studio at home where I can get more done

and spend more time with my family.

I will be closing my studio at COTTAGE Vintage Home the end of July

and will offer only private in-home classes/parties of 4 or more.

Occasionally offering classes at Camas Antiques, CrackerJack Vintage,

Shabby Nest and possibly other locations.

This is all an attempt to simplify life a bit,

you know - "Work smarter, not harder."

As much as I will miss Billie and COTTAGE,

My home and family need some serious attention right now and I can't 

do much when I'm never home so I will be creating from my home studio,
focusing on ETSY and even doing a few shows again,
once I get my home in order.
I will still have my spaces at

CAMAS ANTIQUES and CRACKERJACK VINTAGE

and I'm working on a line of jewelry & accessories for Raylene's

new shop in Sellwood, SHABBY NEST.

That being said, I need to get rid of a lot of larger pieces so let me know

 if you see anything you like. 

Here are a few of the items:

 

 

SOFA TABLE $65

(30" tall x 17 1/2" deep x 48"long)

 

DARK BLUE WARDROBE/TRUNK $63

(closed measurements are10" deep x 18" wide x 30" long)

 

VINTAGE YELLOW METAL KITCHEN STOOL $50

(Now available at Crackerjack Vintage)

 

As usual, most prices are negotiable.

I will also be clearing out a lot of pieces at home so

 I will be having a couple of yard sales in August but I'll keep you all posted.

Oh, and I will definitely be at the

COTTAGE FLEA MARKETS in August & September!

Stop by and visit Billie whenever you're in the neighborhood,

she always has the most awesome treasures!

I will certainly miss her but I'll be sure to visit often!

xoxo, Chris/Momma

 



A NEW LOOK!

here at COTTAGE and ART CIRCUS Studio!

New Digs at COTTAGE Vintage Home!

Well yesterday we started moving

Mack & Momma

and the

Art Circus Studio

to our new home at Billie's -

COTTAGE Vintage Home!

Still lot's to do but I am already feeling it!

Warm, welcoming, calming, loving.....Home!

Billie's hubby and son were so helpful in moving

in my big black cabinet

and setting up this awesome

rusty shelving unit to hold my supplies.

They also turned the white cubbies sideways

to display retail supplies.

My hubby helped we find this shop bench with drawer. Yay!

For hammering and soldering.

Temporary signage.

 My Circus Mascot!

 Fascinator Hat will be an up-coming class.

 Amore' Necklace.

Stay tuned for more details.
