New Boutique at Lone Star Mall










































































A very long overdue post! Work has been keeping me SO BUSY...I have not had time to update the blog. These are some pictures from the new Boutique that Jennifer opened at Lone Star Antique Mall. Wonderful clothes, jewelry, purses, scarves...and much, much more. It is well worth the trip. Special recognition to Ronnie (Jennifer's husband) for all the work he put into making this place incredible. I love the antique fixtures they used to really highlight the merchandise.

Our Intended "Temporary" Booth











We decided to take a "Temporary" third booth at the mall a few months ago and started out with some of our red furniture in it. To our surprise, it quickly sold and has continued. We have kept red in the booth and have decided that maybe this should be a permanent venture. I have had the pictured red and white awning in my garage for months and finally took it into the mall. It was on lay-away within an hour....why did I not put it up earlier???? The shabby mantel sold last week also...Yahoo! We are going to bring in a red bedroom set and start decorating for Christmas. It should be great. On another note: I am the world's worst blogger! Went to Warrenton last weekend with my camera and did not take ONE picture. Left it in the car, or forgot I had it...UGH! It was so much fun and it was great to meet so many other bloggers. I will try in the future to be better about pictures!

Color as Promised...

































































Here is some color as promised. These are pictures from our Pink Booth. Probably not the time of year for all the spring and pink as everyone is in the mood for fall...but I can't help it. Maybe it is my last hurrah for Spring! The last time I posted pictures of the wood and glass cabinet holding all of Mom's perfume, I got some emails about the price....Sorry, but it is not for sell. Tinna from Dream in Cream brought it to the mall and before she could unload it, we snatched it up to use for a locking case in our booth. It is WONDERFUL! Mom, Teresa, Debbie, Kenny and I are leaving for Warrenton on Thursday morning and are so very excited. They say that Disney World is the happiest place on earth, but I think Warrenton is! Talk to you guys when we get back.

Cream, Brown, Gold & Rust Lovers...





























Okay...you guys know I love color, but just to show you that I like creams, browns, golds and rusts...here are pictures from our booth re-do this week. I did not have a clue what I was going to do in the booth this time but I had found these great old shabby cabinet doors without the glass and knew I could do something with them. Starting hanging them on the wall and it all came together. Some of you may have seen pictures on Tinna's blog (Dream in Cream) of her new Cello. I barely set it up on the chest when she came over and fell in love. Brian Piccolo (that is what I named it) found a wonderful home with my friend Tinna! She also broke me away from the mess I had to have lunch with her and Lynn...Thanks it was GREAT! When I got back, birdcages had already sold off the wall...Yahoo! Don't fear my pink, blue and color lovers...I re-did all 3 booths and will post some colorful pictures later this week. Counting down to Warrenton...Can't wait to see everyone. I am not going until the last weekend, so be a friend and leave me some stuff to buy!

I Like Old Doorstops...




























Okay, I know nothing about old doorstops except that I like them! Some of these may actually be new and made to look old, but I like them! No idea of the value (if any), but I like them! In case you did not get the message, I like old (or made to look old) doorstops. I once saw in a magazine a mantel that was covered in these and have liked the idea since. If you see me at Warrenton and have some old doorstops...you know I am a sucker!

Memories Thru Lunch Boxes...

















Several years ago I decided to buy the two lunch boxes I remembered having as a child (Mickey Mouse and The Partridge Family). Sixty lunch boxes later...I HAVE TO STOP! Such memories with each one. I posted some of my favorite music lunchboxes today. Whether you loved Bobby Sherman, The Osmonds, The Brady Bunch, The Bee Gees or as I did, The Partridges...we packed our bologna sandwiches, chips, cookie and Kool Aid each day and headed for school. I read that in the 80's, they stopped making metal lunchboxes when a family sued after their kid got hit in the head with one. A shame as they now hold such memories for our generation. Enjoy and let me know what lunch box you had and loved????

Big Sale at Lone Star Antique Mall...






















There is a BIG SALE going on at Lone Star Antique Mall! I went around to take pictures of some of my favorite booths, but before I could get to them all the batteries in my camera went dead...UGH! So here are a few that I got just in time. Most of the vendors are keeping the sale going through the end of the month, so come on in and buy, buy, buy!
