Bubbles and Bargains: Big Anniversary Celebrations at Red Barn Mercantile and Penny Post

Written By Amy Rutherford

September is a big month for our little company. Red Barn Mercantile turns 11 and Penny Post turns 1! Can you believe it?! Oh, how time flies.Last September – exactly 10 years and 10 days after opening Red Barn Mercantile – we opened the doors to Penny Post, Alexandria’s newest hub for all things paper and stationery. The response has been overwhelming. We cannot thank the people of Alexandria and our many visitors from places near and far for making our first year more successful than we ever dreamed.To celebrate our two milestones, we are going to break out the bubbles – and the bargains. On Saturday, September 8, from 10 am to 7 pm, join us at both stores for sparkling wine and discounts from 15 percent to 30 percent off everything in the stores! This is our way of saying thank you for supporting Red Barn over the years and for welcoming Penny Post to Old Town so warmly. We are truly humbled and grateful and hope to see you all on September 8!

Owner Amy Rutherford started Red Barn because she wanted to deliver a service — to provide both old and new in one place. No longer will busy shoppers be limited to reproductions or forced to shop multiple flea markets for the look or gifts they want. The trick in blending old and new, vintage and modern, classic and quirky, is balance. And Amy’s knack for mixing rustic antiques with urban chic has created a look that is both fresh and familiar.

Located in the heart of Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, Penny Post is an independent boutique specializing in custom stationery and wedding invitations. Inspired by the art of personal correspondence, the power of handwritten notes, and the smell of freshly printed stationery, we surround ourselves with quirky, hilarious, and classically beautiful things to make life a little brighter.
