Begin at the beginning . . .

Wow! What a concept, eh?!?!  But, being the rookie blogger that I am, I inadvertently deleted our blog introduction.  And I cannot figure out how to get it back to the beginning to re-post it!  So, here is is…. somewhere in the middle and a tad after the fact.  Better late than never, eh?????

 

I’m AJ, he’s Michael.  Together, we own and operate a primitive/folk art gift shop in Hillsboro, Oregon. 

Michael is the CEDD (Chief Executive Dumpster Diver!)  of our little operation, and I am the artist, designer and shop keeper.  (He still works his REAL job)

Together we create wonderful treasures from items others have discarded as trash.  We also carry a uniquearray of vintage ‘as is’ treasures in our store, as well as assorted other primitive necessities.

We are located in the Hillsboro West Shopping Center:

1050 SW Baseline A-6   Hillsboro, OR  97123

You can take a peek into our little corner of the world via our website:

 This blog will feature what goes on ‘behind the scenes’ in our trash to treasure world.  Before and after pictures, how to’s for crafting, distressing, decorating; and displaying in a retail setting.  Great info for the home crafter and the professional as well!
