STORY BEHIND THE GLORY
Ever since I saw Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, I knew I wanted to be an archeologist. That was in first grade and since then I grew up and became an English/ESL teacher working with everyone from nose-picking kindergartners to rowdy middle schoolers to hard-working adult immigrants. At the same time I was also taking care of the most beautiful man I’ve ever known. In 2004 I married a lanky surfer cowboy nerd who could shoot a gun, ride a wave, and analyze a metaphysical poem like nobody’s business. His name was Nathanael Daggett and he was diagnosed with advanced Lyme Disease right after we were married. His illness was severe throughout our entire 11 years of marriage and we moved around four different western states trying to get him well: California, Washington, New Mexico and Arizona. After a long battle with Lyme Disease, complicated by Aplastic Anemia, Nathanael rode the GLORY TRAIN Home on June 16, 2015. His mother and my best friend ever—the wild and wonderful, Hilary Daggett, followed her only son Home on September 9, 2016. She is the one who named this glorious little shop after Nathanael passed on. She gave me many beautiful vintage things to sell as she truly has the best taste ever. She was my partner in crime and I look forward to glorious adventures for all eternity with those I love. For now, I’m pursuing my archeological passion digging up vintage treasures and the stories that go with them.
This shop is dedicated to my two favorite people plus one majestic little dog. Our entire family has a love for things old and precious and we are delighted to share some of those items at here at Glory Train! Stay aboard on Instagram or Facebook @glorytrainvintage for sneak previews and sale notices!
