Let's go shopping...

A Mini-Tour of my favorite store.
8000 square feet of fun!!


We're really lucky to have a vendor mall here in smallish Post Falls, Idaho.  In the past, I've maintained a space in an antique mall, and I can recognize a well run one when I see it.  


Some of best buys have happened before I even get through the front door. Remember the end table I have next to my bed.  Found that here...

This is just half of the entrance area. I could use that garden arch...



And check out the cool concrete planters. I NEED these. Only $25.00 each...


Let's pop in the front door...

...and head down the first of four main aisle (with a few cross aisles) My usual strategy is to dump my purse at the front counter, grab a cup of free coffee (and a cookie), and head down the aisles. I view everything from eye level down and on the second trip through, I work from eye level up.

Ooooops, waylaid by shiny stuff...

and glass and porcelain....


I actually missed this settee first time through.  If you're planning a Christmas gift for me - this would be it!!!


Or..............you could get me this dressing table. So sweet!


 I have my eye on this birdcage for my coffee table.  Do you thing $20.00 is a good price??


This table top display cabinet is just too cute. I think it would be perfect for Cindy over at My Romantic Home.  I think I'm going back and purchase the blue and white porcelain ball sitting in front of the cabinet. I have no idea of what it's for.  I think I'll put it on a pedestal...




This is Jo standing in front of her space.  What a smile! 



I took over 30 photos so I have a lot more to share with you.  See you tomorrow. I have mega work to do.

I signed up for Kelly Kilmer's Prompt a Day Class and I'm two days behind on day two. Eeeek!
Live in Massachusetts? Kelly has EIGHT classes planned...

Massachusetts Workshops in December

ooooo I can't stand places like that!

they're visually overstimulating and mentally overwhelming.

MM - usually I have the same reaction to places like this. Buuuuut - they have done everything in such a way that you're really not overwhelmed or driven instantly insane.

Roz - that's a great piece of furniture. Very good condition.

I'm pretty restrained with my purchases. I go to get ideas, too...
