Updates and Happenings

We are only two weeks away from opening the Upcycle Gallery Extraordinaire! 

I have a lot of artists planning to bring us their work, but not a whole lot in the store yet. It's making me nervous, but it's okay. We will open on May 1st with whatever we have.  They haven't had a whole lot of time to prepare, and great products take time.

I have several vendors with really great jewelry. I think I can put together a pretty cool jewelry display using some old wood pallets we have out behind our bunk house at home. (Knew those things would come in handy some day!) We also have a bunch of old bricks, glass bricks, wooden boxes and drawers, a couple of old doors, and some old bed springs. I think several of those items will also find a home in the jewelry department. (Oh no! sounds like The Clampetts are setting up shop! Wish me luck!)

Paula Surmann also brought me her display of tiny little miniatures that are very cool. Small little rooms of furniture and tiny bolts of fabric, and other small arrangements. The miniatures display looks very lonely right now, so I hope we get some more items in soon!

The sign for the store has been ordered, and should be up before we are open. (Crossing fingers!) I found out they are planning to paint the store exterior in about a week, so I am really crossing my fingers that they will be done by the time we open too! Everybody knows our start date, so I just have to let them all do their part!

We have also purchased some great advertising. Grizzly Ridge Upcycle will be included in the 2015-2016 Sisters Oregon Guide. They publish 35,000 copies with local and statewide distribution. It publishes Memorial Weekend, and kicks off the tourist season here. The Chamber of Commerce also uses this in their marketing. 
I was also told The Nugget will do a feature about our gallery in the next couple of weeks too! I'll keep you posted about both those things in future posts.

Last of all, I wanted to show you some photos we took at the Upcycle Oregon event last Saturday at The State Capital building. It was a lot of fun, and I got quite a few great leads for future vendors in our shop!

Stay weird! And stay tuned for more updates!

This article was written four years ago. So, I am hoping that the opening of Upcycle Gallery Extraordinaire was a huge success. Through this article I saw that you were really nervous while you were planning for everything. It is surely a big event that requires big preparation too, that's why I understand where all the pressure is coming from. But you have made it! Up to these days, Upcycle Gallery Extraordinaire is still existing and doing good. Your opening day must have been very great that's why you are just getting the fruit of your labor before! I am glad you have succeeded!

    My inner weirdo recognizes and appreciates the weirdo within you! Namaste~

    I am so excited to be able to open a shop of my own featuring these wonderful products! 

    When I recently found myself unemployed for the first time in 36 years, I had to take a close look at what I wanted to do about it. 

    I have always loved painting stuff, and DIY anything, so naturally, with so much more time on my hands, I worked on a few pieces in my home. 

    When I couldn't find a great place to sell all the furniture I had produced, my husband Don suggested we open a store ourselves. So here we are, my wildest dreams are coming true right before my eyes! Grizzly Ridge Upcycle was born!

    If you have any questions, comments, or just want to chat, please contact me. I would love to hear from you.
