Eccentricities at the Mission Road Antique Mall

Since I took on a new space at the River Market Antique Mall this month, I decided to consolidate my space at Mission Road. I was there most of yesterday moving out of one area and fluffing the smaller space.

Love this painted tin ceiling tile section.

I pulled a grouping a pictures together on the wall and just kind of filled it out a bit. I'll be shopping for new goodies next weekend to add to the space - it's a never-ending cycle for us addicts, you know!

And while I was moving out the second load, a couple inquired about the piano leg I had just brought home! We made the exchange and now Shelly will be making a table out of this stunning piece. So glad for both of us that I was in the right place at the right time!

More Spooky Soaps and Other Fun Stuff

My new batch of creepy Halloween soap arrived today from my buddy Sharon. What goes better with the scent of fresh linen than squishy spiders and rats?!

And a few more treasures that I'll bring to the booth tomorrow.

Sweet pic with a great frame.

Love love love an old crucifix.

Squatty art deco-ish tea pot.


And beautiful mirror. I also picked up a great old set of gym lockers but no room in the Saturn to pick those up today. Is it weird that my dream car is a mini van with seats that retract into the floor? I am over 40 now, I suppose. Yikes!

I'm glad I live close to the mall because there will be many deliveries of new stuff and much rearranging going on. Too bad they don't have a dealer work night! This large chalk horse is one of my very favorite recent finds, but I do love chalk!!

And a larger one

This mirror is really cool. I tried hanging it by a nail in the booth but it really shouldn't go there unless it's properly mounted. I love the crinkly lines through the mirror and the patina on the metal.

I'm a sucker for old scales and have quite a collection of them at home. The black and white urn was made in Greece and of course, I had to throw in a doll leg.

This is the greatest ice bucket, especially around Halloween. "Name Your Poison"

I found this dress form last weekend and just love the blue and gray. I am the kind of girl who firmly believes that you just can't have enough dress forms.

Chalk Victorian woman jewelry box and the silhoutte is made of felt.

I set out last weekend to find a funky Halloween cauldron and am digging this rusty one. I've already sold a set of the antlers.

I sold my last fencing mask on Etsy. I just love these!

And aren't these chipped and rusting wrought iron penguins fun? Cooler weather is just around the corner!

And this composite bear is just the right amount of scuffed up. Please visit booth 209 in the Mission Road Antique mall. More treasures coming soon.

Post Number One!!!

Welcome to Eccentricities! This is a blog about my interior design style and vintage finds.

Soon, you'll be able to find me at Amaze Boutique, a shop offering a great mix of original art and vintage finds on the northwest corner of 135th and Quivira in Overland Park, Kansas. The English pewter tea set is just one of the treasures I've amassed in my collection of goodies for the shop.

The hobnail lamp is one of a pair and the shades are so cute!

This chest of drawers has beautiful details.

And the matching vanity hearkens back to an age when women could leisurely take their time with makeup and hair. Who has that kind of schedule?!

I have a thing for chalk. This nude has fabulous colors and I love the pin-up girl style.

I've been on a flamingo kick lately.

There is something so intriguing about old mirrors. What kind of history has been reflected within them over the course of so many years?


Once again, wonderful details. Nothing new compares to this.

Wonderful old lamp with marble base.


And I thought this little fern stand needed some sprucing up. Before . . .

And after . . . The grey did the trick with a little distressing and antiquing.


I am so excited that I will finally be turning my love of treasure hunting and junking into something I can offer to others. I can hardly wait to get in and start styling. The ideas are continuously swirling! Please contact me if you are interested in purchasing anything you see on my site. Thanks for your support of my new venture!
