Music…
The music … well I’ve been told it’s not so popular for websites – statistically speaking. However it was a prerequisite of mine as I believe music is a really important ingredient to one’s identity. I seldom live in a silent world – always a melody playing. Therefore, while you read or explore this site … I want you to hear what I feel. Music inspires me. Music is a big ingredient to who I am and sometimes dictates what I create … setting the tenor of what I do.
Now, this is where I’m thankful (perhaps you should be too) that I personally created the playlist without Paul’s (my business partner’s) input. Paul’s wife, Shani, refers to me as Paul’s “work wife.” So basically, I say “…don’t’ worry – I’ve got the music covered for the website, Honey.” If this wasn’t the case, you’d be snoring – oh I mean reading – this, listening to Celtic Thunder (which I listened to on repeat from 10am – 3pm the other day). Great cd, but there ain’t any “thunder” coming from those Highlander pipes. Whoa!! More like a beautiful snow flurry, watched through a huge picture window in a “Snuggly” with a roaring fire in the background.
So reader … Paul & I have strengths & weaknesses which luckily compliment one another’s. Technology isn’t one of Paul’s (and I’m struggling), therefore I’ll be “managing” this part of the Vintage Hardware gig. (He said one day he’ll learn this & he’ll get me back for the Celtic Thunder comment – that will be awhile since he can’t figure out how to change his voicemail message on his cell phone)


Paul and Becky, congratulations on your new website. It is soooo nice and very well written. Good job, Becky (because I know Paul didn’t write it….ha ha). We are very proud of him, and so happy to see him making a living doing what he loves to do. He’s an awesome artist!
Astoria friends (Pam & Mike) sent me your website………I’m
down here in Rockaway Beach. Your website is outstanding…….EVEN THE MUSIC!!!! HA!!! I can’t wait to visit your store. Looks like you have wonderful “stuff.”
Hi Becky & Paul,
Love the website — VERY creative — it does you proud. And I too especially like the music. Do you have a playlist available? Looking forward to welcoming Margaret into my humble abode.

One of the most well done websites I have seen. The store looks amazing and it looks like this is the perfect combination of talents. I will be sure to come to this store when I come to Astoria and hope that you will have an approximate 42″ x 42″ farm table for me to purchase. I already have a 8′ porch column in my house from you. Also, the music is perfect. Good luck on such a beautiful store. Marsha, Seattle
