The Antique Mall.

A favorite place to visit and search

for vintage treasures. A really great

place to go on a rainy, cold, thundery

day when the chores are done ....

Love this old wooden tool box that has 

been re~purposed with old ribboned jars.

In a heart beat, if I had a bigger budget,

this would have gone in to my basket. I

 have fallen in love with anything that is

Beatrix Potter but $42 was not attainable.

I collected Holly Hobbie glass ware as

a kid and still have some favorite pieces.

And Bunnykins too! But I've never seen

this classic piece before. Very expensive.

Love this vintage china cabinet.

The style of it is so amazing.

For Mother's Day, my dh bought me 2 

garden obelisk's for $60, for both. Mine are 

quite detailed and very tall. This one is much

smaller and at $115 for 1, not a bargain!

 Love this piece! Love the curved

glass and the little mirror. Sweet!

Lovely display. Next to the claw foot tub,

I love the little garden box under the boat.

I got really excited when I found this

wicker hamper but sad when I found

the price tag hanging inside. It's in such

great condition but at $96, not mine!

Hat, anyone? A lovely basket with

a variety of vintage hats to wear.

We truly love visiting the Antique Mall

and often find great prices. There are

many items that I'm sure the vendor

may not know the true value or they

want a quick sale. Some items we see

months later and know then the vendor

is holding out for the true value but it

really isn't true value if no one is buying

it at the price listed. We go in with a

budget in mind and can come out with

nothing in our hands. Or we nail the

budget completely. Sometimes we go

a bit over but then we don't visit for

a while if it was a piece that was worth

stretching the budget for that visit. If

we didn't have a budget, I'd be broke!
