I have to say how totally blown away I am at all the comments,emails and responses from all those who have read my recent blog about closing the shop. It is not until something is final like this that one realises just how many lives we have actually touched by opening our little shop in Bethesda. I have been telling the local and loyal clientel that have been coming in that we are planning on closing. The look on their faces are enought to replace a million words. From absolute shock to pure sadness.
Two days ago someone came in for the first time and turned around to me and said " this is one of the most beautiful shops I have ever been into." I thanked them for the compliment and then informed them that we were closing .. with that they answered back " how sad but at least I got to see something so beautiful and inspiring at least this one time"..
...for all those times and customers like these - Thank you - it is you that have made it all worth while..... It is the people that "just get it "...the people that step through the door with a shriek of " oh my goodness I do not believe what I am seeing" and then there are those that come in "for inspiration as they are feeling down and need a pick me upper" - it is those people that I am so pleased to have met and to have been able to inspire with our little store in Bethesda.
The world really is a small place when it comes to vintage lovers... and especially the USA. It is a small family where everyone knows one another. It is the appreciation,enthusiasm and sheer love of vintage that have made our days in Bethesda that much more inspiring and interesting. For that I am grateful and want to thank each and every one of you. I hope we will be able to inspire, serve and continue on with each and everyone of you on our website www.accessoriesofold.com
