Store Window Tribute
Originally uploaded by Jerry W. Lewis
Another North Boulder store, Raven Moon Trading Post, is closing, with many of the antiques to be auctioned off this Saturday, March 7.
The store was owned by Candy, who also operated the nearby Candy's vintage clothing and costume shop, a North Boulder icon for many years. Candy died Jan. 22, and today there's a store window tribute to Candy and her love of vintage Western outfits in the store window.
I had been wondering what would happen to the shops, and stopped for a brunch at NBC, North Boulder Cafe, which is in the same small strip retail center. I thought I would drop into the Raven Moon, but was greeted by a closed sign and people inside getting things ready for this weekend's auction.
The word from one of the business owners there is that the family is now trying to sell the original Candy's. Candy, who is survived by two daughters, lived in Ward where she raised her family on Shiny Rock Ranch.
Let's hope the auction brings in some cash to the family, and let's hope someone steps up to save the original Candy's shop, packed wall to wall with vintage clothing,, costume jewelry and other items.
The auction is being run by the Niwot Auction Co., starting at 10 a.m. Saturday.
