Ruby (our vintage trailer)

Interview with Janice John-

ston, owner of Primrose Lane

in Coburg

How long have you been in

the antique/vintage business?

Over 40 years, my husband built

a garage on 15 acres with

McKenzie River frontage. We

lived with 3 young children in

our garage for 5 years while we

saved money to purchase the

materials to build our house.

We were very frugal. My pur-

chase of a $3.00 covered pedestal

bowl was a waste of money when

the red was the wrong shade of

color. Later I saw one (red

moon and stars) at Mona’s An-

tiques at Oakway Mall. She sold

mine for $65 and offered to rent

me a $40/month space in her

shop. I kept that space for years

and went into Alethalou Mer-

cantile on Pioneer Parkway also.

I learned the business end from

Alethalou. I have owned my own

shop in Coburg for 17 years.

What attributes to your success

and longevity in the antique

business? Treating my custom-

ers as guests. Being kind and

really listening. If something

isn’t working, I change it. Con-

tinually re-inventing myself.

How did you come up with the

business name? My daughter,

Jennifer suggested Primrose Lane

from the old song “Primrose

Lane……life’s a holiday on Prim-

rose Lane.”

What is your biggest buying

regret? I don’t have any. Sure,

I’ve made a lot of purchase mis-

takes, but I learned from them

all! If I paid too much and find

it isn’t selling, I sell at my cost

and make my money liquid

again and hopefully buy smarter

the next time.

What do you enjoy the most

about your business? My cus-

tomers! I enjoy getting to know

my guests, but I must confess

that I love to talk to the kids the

most. They are like little spong-

es and are so eager to learnabout the “olden days”. I love to

tell them about our house being

the oldest one in Lane County.

It was built in 1850 by Jacob

Spores (Spores Bridge) and John-

ny Diamond who discovered

Diamond Peak and Diamond

Lake. Everyone loves to see the

room in the house that was used

as a barn for the milk cow and

chickens. Continued on Page 4

If Primrose Lane’s Walls Could Talk……..

Time Travelers of Oregon Antique

Mall Expands to Main Street! After nearly a year of high antici-

pation, Time Travelers of Ore-

gon Antique Mall will finally

begin the move to their newly

expanded location at 2020 Main

Street in Springfield Mid-April

2016!

Jeff and Cheri Gielish started

Time Travelers of Oregon An-

tique Mall in October 2013 with

only 2,600 Square Feet and 12

Dealers. They quickly expanded

in December 2013 to 5,600

Square Feet and 30+ Dealers

and have been “busting at the

seams” ever since.

At their new location, situated

in the Historic & Former Para-

mount Grocery Store Building

on the corner of 21st and Main,

they will occupy over 12,000

Square Feet, making them the

Largest Antique Mall in Lane

County! Continued on Page 5

Primrose Lane cont’d fromI feel good about teaching my customers how

to find the true, most accurate value of their

items when they want to sell Grandma’s stuff

or downsize their own possessions. If I don’t

want to buy their items I direct them to the

shops that will most likely buy them.

I love to research old items and learn as muchas I can about them. My pricing is determined

more by what I pay than what the books or

computer say about the value.

JUNKIN’ FUN TIPS


6/8


Negotiate with skill and grace, avoid excessive

low offers that will insult dealers. General rule

is that most are willing to come down 10 to 15

percent. Remember cash is king!
