The Antique Mall

Today my husband and I went to an Antique Mall that is not too far from where we live. Even though it is SO close - this was the very first time we have ever gone. It was fun. I think we spent over an hour, maybe even an hour and a half in there. We found some really cool things. I took photos of some of the cool things that we found. I was disappointed because there were several things that I found that I took photos of and they are blurry. Oh well. I will share some of the photos that I have that are pretty good.

This set was so pretty. And it was really sturdy feeling. Only $12.50 for the 3 pieces.

Oh these are called Gentleman's Shaving Mirrors and they are quite expensive - like $185- and up. I think they are really cool though. Of course the blue pitcher has nothing to do with the other part - as far as I know - I think they just put it there for display.

Look at these cool tin watering cans - they were like $20. and $25.00 for them. I thought they were cool! Not cool enough to buy right now though.

This bench/storage chest was like $45.oo - I would have bought it if I had have had the extra money. I just think it is neat.

And this one - I liked the style of it. I never did see a price on it but I am sure this is something that my husband could make. I thought it would be neat - put books in those compartments and then get a couple of plants to put on the other ledges. I don't know - just some ideas I had. We have a sun room that will been to be decorated once we get it done - so maybe this is something that would work out there.


My husband and I both loved a church pew - for $170. We would have gotten it if we had have had the money. It was actually comfortable. I will post photo but it is fuzzy. Isn't it cool! I was a small one and we loved it.
Here is another photo that is not very clear but I love these wooded cradles. This might be something that I keep an eye open for. I am guessing my cats would get the most use out of it but they might feel really special to have a special bed. I think this one below was like $45. not for sure on that price.
There were quite a bit of pieces of furniture that we loved - but of course, they had VERY expensive price tags on them as well. But you know a lot of things were just made SO much better back then.
Well I hope you all have had a good week end. Ours has been pretty good. It has been quite warm here in Texas but as one of my Facebook friends said - we have cold front coming in and she said that we might just have a high of 92 one day this week. That would be SO much better than 100.

  1. An antique mall is such a great way to spend an hour or so on the weekend!

    And, it seems we like the same things!

    I cannot imagine 100 degrees. I'm sure it's happened in Michigan in my life time, but I've blocked it out. Hope it NEVER happens again.
