Remember When

Remember When Primitives, Homemades, home decor The store started out as a chicken coop in our backyard. Hope to see you soon.

My husband, myself, and few friends decided that we wanted to create a place in our town where we could sell the items that we love. With some hard work, help from friends and family, we created Remember When. We sell primitives, homemades, candles, wooden creations, patterns, wool, and much more.

A Little Summer Pause

To our wonderful customers,

After much thought, we have decided to take a longer summer break this year. Life has a way of reminding us what matters most, and we are looking forward to spending some extra time with family, grandkids, and enjoying a slower pace for a few weeks. Like many small businesses, we’ve also felt the ups and downs of today’s economy, and we believe this is the perfect time to recharge and prepare for an exciting new season ahead.

We want everyone to know that we are not closing and we are not giving up. We are simply taking a much-needed summer break.

Oakwood Exchange will be closed beginning Thursday, July 2, and will reopen Thursday, August 13.

We are so thankful for each and every one of you. Over the years, you have become more than customers—you have become friends. Your support, encouragement, and loyalty have meant the world to us, and we truly believe we have the best customers anyone could ask for.

While we are away, please feel free to call or message us if you need paint supplies, a special gift, or have a question. We will do our best to help whenever possible.

When we reopen on August 13, we’ll have fresh inventory, new ideas, and lots of exciting treasures for you to discover. We are looking forward to welcoming everyone back and sharing what we’ve been working on.

Thank you for your understanding, your kindness, and your continued support. We can’t wait to see you again after our summer pause.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The Oakwood Exchange Family
