We’ve got some changes coming at the end of September! Farm Charm and we have mutually decided to close our Bellefontaine store front effective 9/26. It’s been almost a year since my bone marrow transplant and I am not even close to being ready to have my own shop again. Etsy has become my main selling avenue and so I’ll be continuing that along with some new and old paths. So here’s the list and links
https://oldegloryhouseco.etsy.com
https://glittergritopera.etsy.com
Glitterandgritattheopera.ebay.com
The Milkhouse Candles will be available at Farm Charm in Urbana. I’m also going to keep a stash of the most popular at home from Bellefontaine pick up. (Online items can always be porch pickup or possibly local delivery)
I’m planning to list new items here on my page too, for local sales and shipping
Plus I am doing a small amount of wholesale!
So obviously I have plenty to do while continuing my recovery and lots of options for buying.
Come see us until the 26th Thursday through Sunday and if you ever need anything message me here! Thanks for all the support over the years!
Oook, I know, I know, you’ve been patiently waiting & it’s been daaaays… are you ready?!
Ladies, grab your teacups! ☕️😉☺️
Finally 😅 we’re ready, aaand here we go spilling the tea!
➡️ WE ARE MOVING!!! ➡️
Soon you’ll be able to find all of your favorite Farm Charm finds all under one roof…. not just our finds but we’re pleased to announce your top picks & vendor faves are coming along with & will still be available too! aaaand there’s more…. ALL of this is happening in a Great New Bigger Space!
Yeeesss, you’ve read that right😅, we’ll be moving not just 1 but 2 Shops to a BIGGER location 📍just a few doors down. That said please bear with us as we ask for forgiveness in advance - we may not look full or completely put together this coming month ahead.
You maybe wondering… wait a minute…Whaaa? Where? When? & Why?
We will be closing our Bellefontaine location at the end of September & there’s a little something brewing with a new bigger space for us in Urbana! I know this may be a lot to take in😅 This means our current *Urbana location will remain open ALL through September & MOST of October up until it’s moving day - *Our Bellefontaine location will only stay open until September 26th, as it will be our last shopping day. We’ll be moving that shop first, at the end of this month.
After the 26th, Glitter&Grit at the Opera will still continue on 🩵 just in a few new & different ways! You’ll still be able to find & shop their merchandise, vintage, and handmades - a wide variety is always just a fingertip’s length away! Check out their Business Page, an Etsy Shop & Ebay link are readily available & attached. If looking for your favorite candles (currently at both locations) they’ll still also be available at our new Urbana location!
Please check back for exact closing dates for each. We’ll also be announcing our Opening Day for our New Urbana Location with more details to come.
(Heey guys… 👆“Details to come” meaning…
> some amazing sales & possibly a few display items to keep an eye out for?! 😉 Now 😂, aren’t you glad you’ve read this far?!)
I just want to share for our small business this has been one of the most difficult decisions that we’ve ever had to make. With this transition please know, it’s all just a little bittersweet with “all of the feels”.🤷♀️🥴😅 We’re happy and sad but also it’s very exciting sharing this new chapter & continuing our everyday joys with you! We’ll definitely miss Bellefontaine & miss seeing you all there. We are, and forever will be, so very grateful for all of our customers & their love and support in both of these beautiful spaces throughout these last 5 years. We could never have done (or be doing) any of this without each of you, Again, 💛 Thank You!
With the turning of a page, we’re gearing up & looking forward for the upcoming 2027 year! We’re happy to share our focus & excitement in simplifying things (just a smidge) for you as our customers, our vendors, us, and all the things in between. Just think the 🌲 Holidays are coming up… just one stop & you’re ready to shop (no missing out this year with running between the two spaces!) everything’s all in one place!
We’ll be sharing some sneaky peeks of our New Space very soon & we hope to see you in Urbana on Opening Day! 🎉
Sooo, 😅 we’ve covered the “Where” & the “When”. If you’re up to it, 👇 here’s a little history & insight that may help with the “Why”…
SIMPLE - it’s.just.that “🤍simple”.
If you’ve been along for the journey or know us personally, then you know, for years and years and many, many moons now 🌒… (since 2014 to be precise 😂) we’ve always had multiple booths, 2-5 at times all running concurrently in our local neighboring towns, along with flea markets & market shows - all of which of course l.i.t.e.r.a.l.l.y kept us physically “running”, constantly going from one place to another. Fast forward to 2021, wanting to settle some roots, we were ever so blessed our business had grown and we were given the opportunity to start our very own brick & mortar/s both in Urbana & Bellefontaine. Over the years, we’ve met some 💛 TRULY WONDERFUL people - customers, fellow business owners & friends alike, looking back we wouldn’t change a thing. We’re just ready to streamline a bit, looking forward to living a little more “simply”😅& actually have some real time to maybe enjoy doing a good weekend project, perhaps watch a storm blow in ⛈️ & overall soak in life’s little moments - more time with each other, our boys, our family & friends!❤️
