Holiday open house on Dec. 4

Mrs. Darling’s holiday open house will be Dec. 4; check back for details! Lots of sparkly vintage fun is promised!

In the meantime, Riverside’s Mission Galleria (across from the Mission Inn) will be holding its own seasonal event on Friday, Nov. 13, from 5-9 p.m. — booth No. 303 on the main floor is home to some of Mrs. Darling’s ephemera and photos…

And on Saturday, Nov. 14, Old Glory and Vintage Flair will be holding their big holiday extravaganza from 4-9 p.m. Limos will whisk shoppers between OG (at Market and 14th streets) and VF’s alley off Elizabeth Street (near Goodwill) — which will be filled with vendors selling art, antiques and more.

Remember, buying antiques helps the economy and the environment! Shop early and shop often!

Ready for Thanksgiving?

OK, it took a little longer than we’d expected. But here’s fresh photos of some of the items at Mrs. Darling’s, courtesy of photographer Carrie Rosema:

Newer fall hours!

Mrs. Darling is now open 10:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays…. and through the end of the year, we’ll likely be open on Sunday afternoons, too!

New fall hours

Temperatures are finally out of triple digits, so we’re switching over from summer to fall hours; Mrs. Darling is now open 10:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays (but if you see goings-on on Sundays, feel free to drop in!).

There’s lots of new stuff, from furniture to ephemera. Plus jewelry and collage tags by Riverside photographer/artist Carla Conti Bender.

Look for lots of fabulous new photos next week!

Happy birthday!

MaryV and her shop are both Leos…

Mrs. Darling is officially open!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by!

Summer hours are 10:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Wednesdays-Saturdays — and whenever we feel like it on Sundays. (We just opened a store. We’re tired!)

Look for expanded hours in the fall.

Come by often — new goodies appear every week! Just remember, the more you buy, the more we can bring in!

The pre-opening party

Lots of local Riverside antiques dealers (you know who you are!) and FOMD (Friends of Mrs. Darling) stopped by the shop for a pre-opening party on Friday night.  Photographer Carrie Rosema (FOMD) captured some of the fun as well as some of the treasures….
