Sorry, but due to timing I won't be able to answer questions

LIGHTING

The last couple of weeks we have found a large amount of lighting. Several chandeliers, including hard to find petite one's. We also have tole sconces, crystal sconces and single sconces. The list could go on and on....

The Long Hot Summer

Yes, we are in the "thick of it", as the old Texans would say. With 100 degree weather every day now, it's time to get out and smell the roses. I'm not quite sure how we have managed to find the merchandise but we have added several key pieces to our inventory. One of my favorites is the velvet settee. Can anyone tell me why old velvet attracts me like it does??? I love it all and can't get enough of it. I managed to score on a sweet little Italian chandelier too.
To think Warrenton is just around the corner is making me nervous. HEEELLLLLPPPP!!!
Sure hope it cools off by then.

Yes, Virginia, there IS a Santa.../Tooting our Horn!

Yes,Virginia, there IS a Santa.. and he brought us a bounty of merchandise this week!! Just look at the Cool Stuff! From Vintage Christmas to Industrial, to hotel silver, buttons galore, sconces, jewelry, glassware, mirrors... we got it all this week from our secret source (that would be Alan, not really Santa). I guess Christmas IS also in July!

Part #2 California's GOLD Rush !!!

What a wonderful time spent. Yes, we felt we struck GOLD in our relationships with Stephanie & Mike and also Gloria & Ted from http://www.shabbytownusa.com/ We all were able to put our heads together and come up with the same conclusion , by the look of the collections of these two couples, we are all in it for the long haul. Gold was also found in antique shops visited in Orange, Laguna, Balboa, Venice, Santa Monica and San Diego. Lets not forget the beaches, the flowers and my sons favorite late night "CRAIG FURGUSON SHOW" in which Mr. Furguson asked Ben if he was Justin Beavers, When he found out Ben was 18 he suggested Ben must be Justins grandfather. This was the highlight of Ben's trip.
