Eccentricities II at the Mission Road Antique Mall

It's been a busy two days getting the expanded space painted, stocked and styled. Whew. I'm tired, but really excited about the way it came together. I finally have a place to showcase the great black chippy church window I've had for some time now.

And this great little corner cabinet was sitting on top of something else instead of mounted as it should have been. Much better.

My giant basket was hanging across the isle in the first space, but I've replaced that with an old chandelier. The basket looks cool stickin out of the wall. I thought I'd funk up the space with my mannequin, also. Not sure how she's going to go over, but I sure love her!

Suzie and Gina's architectural salvage piece looks awesome on the chocolate cabinet and the burlap draped under it pools onto the floor over both sides. Nice.



I relocated my chalk horse. It will be fun to have so much room on both sides. I can actually squeeze much more in which means more shopping soon! November 9th is dealer work night and the original space needs some TLC. I just didn't have it in me today.


Check out the robin's egg blue cosmetology book from the 60's. It gives tips about being agreeable, having good posture, and keeping hygiene top of mind. Ha!

I wasn't sure about letting go of my gray lockers, but it's fun to keep things circulating. Now my living room is about empty - again.





And these pics aren't from my space, but from a dealer down the way who has some really fun stuff! LOVE this bust!




Thanks to the dealers who stopped by to give me encouragement and compliments as I put everything together. I am having the best time at this mall!!!

Sneak Preview

I'm starting to run short on time before my space expansion on November 1st at the Mission Road Antique Mall. I needed another piece to display things (and of course, it's for sale)!

I love this beautiful white cabinet I found today. I can't believe I'm saying it, but I'm so happy it's clean and ready to go without any help from me. I love to redo stuff, but I'm already swamped. I also think the cleaner look will be a good compliment to a lot of my funky, banged up finds. The chestnuts n brown sugar candles are ready and there's a cinnamon bun thrown in for good measure. These candles are so yummy!

I love this chair! The springs have sprung and the leather seat is beat to hell. It's a really pretty, really sturdy chair that makes a big statement.


Cool books, a big jewelry box, and I love these little putz houses.

Sweet 16 pic. I've searched in some new places and found great stuff. I'm already staking out my next adventure.


I see lots of scales, but this really large gray one is more rare and there's plenty of room for me to style some stuff on it.

Rusty stool that flips open for storage from one of my favorite sources.

This chandelier will hang from the ceiling. Not sure if it will be in the new alcove or will replace the basket I have hanging in the larger part of my space. So many ideas!






The last couple of weeks in the corporate job can best be captured with the sentiment below. Antiquing helps relieve some of the pressure and takes me to greener pastures, if only for a little while . . .
