In March of 2000, a dream became a reality
when Birds of a Feather opened its doors in Cambria, CA.
My
love of collecting now had a purpose, "to share antiques with people of a kindred heart for the history that these treasures
hold". My dream was that I would create a calm, relaxed environment with vignettes that would send my shopper's
imagination soaring with inspiration of ways that they could decorate their homes with their finds.
As time went along, I added a selection of vintage and new ribbons to the mix and eventually
a "Creative Corner" filled with vintage charms, ephemera, letters, numbers and all manner of eclectic bits to add
to a collage, a scrapbook page or an altered book. These seemed to blend well with the mix of antiques and collectibles that
I had featured all along--it was all the things that I loved and the best part was that my customers seemed to like them too!
Hooray!
In August of 2010, my journey with an on-line
store began. This format extended the option of shopping at Birds of a Feather worldwide. My hope is that the
flavor of shopping in the brick and mortar shop translates to the online shopping experience.
Please accept my invitation to stroll through the on-line store categories and visit the ever-changing
selection of quality treasures that have been chosen with you in mind.
Please
let me know about your experience here and if you are not on the mailing list, please sign up so that you will know of any
new events or big news that I will be sharing in the emails!
As the chapter of my "brick and mortar" store comes to a close and a new chapter in my life begins,
please accept my continuing gratitude for your friendship and your patronage!
With
warm regards, Bonnie.
