SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
It is with much excitement and sadness that I announce the future path for Lafayette Antiques & Home Décor.
A lot of you know that we live on 40 acres east of Lafayette. About 3 years ago we built a pole barn with the intent of doing barn sales at some point in my future.
In those 3 years since the barn was built, I have been filling it full of treasures, and enjoying the peacefulness of country living (on my weekends). hahaha
With the shutdown of our economy, and the store being closed for 2 months gave me some time to reflect. I also realized that I was getting burned out working 6 days a week with 2-hour drive daily.
So, after much thought and anguish – I have decided that it is time to move the store. Lafayette Antiques last day in Lafayette will be 1/31/21.
Between now and then we will be having sales to move items that do not fit our barn sales theme.
We do not have a first barn sale date scheduled yet, as I have a lot of work to move the store and organize the barn for the sale.
This is not goodbye – this is, we will see you soon, whether it is at a barn sale, antique show, or just in town saying “hi”
I will miss my daily interaction with customers, you all have been the best, and I could not have done this without all of you!
I will not be gone, just in a different location, I will just be a call, email, or text away! Or at a show near you! 😊

What’s new at the Ranch
Spring is my favorite time of year. Everything turns green, flowers start blooming and the colors are amazing!
It is also the time of year that the Bald Eagles are getting ready to lay their eggs. I have a few favorite live eagle cams that I have been watching for about 10 plus years.
The website links I am sharing are some of my favorite – they have an amazing amount of info on their sites and many more live cams to watch. Make sure to turn up the volume – the 2 camera in Iowa that I am sharing have sound!
Also make sure you keep watching till their eggs hatch – it is amazing to watch the babies grow and these amazing animals feed the young!
This beauty is one of my pics near my house.
This is a pic of my computer screen watching one of the live cameras.
Isn’t that a beautiful sight?
This link takes you to a live eagle camera here in Colorado –

50% off Remaining Christmas Decor
We still have a small selection of Christmas Decor and it is 50% off. This is the last time you’ll see this selection because when it goes away it is gone and will not be coming out later this year!
It is a good time to start an ornament collection for your child or grandchild. Or add to your Christmas village collection. My girls love getting and making ornaments for their trees.
Have an awesome day!

“What Does This Do?”
When I first started working here at Lafayette Antiques, I used to ask Nancie at least three times a shift, “What does this do?” She had some answers that really surprised me. It is rare that we get an item in that she cannot identify. I thought that this week I would test your knowledge. See if you can identify the following items (you will have to wait until next week for answers):
Have fun trying to figure out what these items are and what they do! We want to wish everyone a very safe and Happy Fourth of July!

Did You Know?
Did you know that this store has 7 ROOMS and 3 FLOORS???
Most people who walk in are completely surprised by this fact!!! From the outside, Lafayette Antiques & Home Decor is a quiet little unassuming shop. Then you walk in and find you are in a wonderland of antiques that will take you on a walk down memory lane…
I cannot count how many times I have heard, “Oh, my grandmother used to have that in her kitchen!”
“We used that kind of phone to make calls and I would stretch the cord as far as it could go!” 
“I went fishing with my dad and he always kept his worms in an old coffee can.”
Three floors??? Yes, we do!
When you walk in, you will be on the first floor. Standing here, you will find the original wood floor from the shoe store that once occupied this part of the building. This space contains beautiful antique cabinets, jewelry, china, Fiesta ware, a random rooster or two, and Nancie, Carolyn, or Jen waiting to chat with you as you check out!
Walk up four steps and you will find yourself in the world of vintage crates and more in Green Frog Antiques, everything kitchen in Gramma K’s, a hallway of treasures…
and more rustic riches in a room full of crocks and trunks and western figurines.
Heading down the wood floor hallway, you will find a few steps taking you down into the basement where you can still see the old garage door that opened to the garage where Terry used to work. (Ask Nancie about Terry.) Down here you will find a room dedicated to vintage baby clothing and toys, sewing items, handmade doilies and quilts, and my favorite, teacups just waiting for a Sunday afternoon tea party and a group of giggling children. We also have fishing supplies, a stove or two, old windows, a corner full of frilly dishes and pictures that take you back to the Victorian days.
This is just a little snapshot into the three floors and seven rooms of Lafayette Antiques. When you are ready to wander back in time, please stop in, introduce yourselves if we haven’t met yet and then head off onto your journey. Can’t wait to see you!
