My GARDEN is planted ! Treasures await you... Now on to fluffing...adding...and redoing the rest of the shop ! Spring Open House is only a month away.... March 23 and 24th
A Spring Transformation... Working on a new SPRING BOOTH ! It takes time to get from Bud to Full Bloom ! No Winter Blah's here...Just lots of SCURRYING and SCAMPERING into SPRING.
Valentine's Day is coming QUICKLY....Be sure to tell your Special Someone how WONDERFUL they are ! We have some EXCITING news, last week our sweet Cristy married her HERO Bobb ! We are so thrilled, they could not be more perfect for each other. LOVE is truly in the air !
Thinking SPRING...Open House that is. Busy planning our Spring Open House , It will be here before we know it ! Save March 23rd and 24th on your calendars.... 10:00 to 5:00 both days. I want to give a SPECIAL THANKS to Robin Ewing for designing our Amazing Open House Card ! God has BLESSED her with so much talent !
We all know about those Terrific Totes that TJ Maxx and Marshall's have at the check out for 99 cents. Well, a Girl can only have so many totes.....BUT, a Girl can always use , mold proof , water proof pillows for her Garden Seating ! Talk about seating...they can be made into the cutest stadium seats that have handles to make toting easy. I just love some of the Designs they have printed with ! I turned these cute Marshall's bags into stadium seats ! It was so easy and inexpensive. First I cut out the gusset, then turning the right side in , I stitched around the sides...turned right side out...stuffed with fiberfill and then stitched the top closed. How easy is that ! Thanks to Karen Ward for showing off my stadium seats...She is my new neighbor ! Seriously Fun Fitness opened last month. My Hero loves it ....He comes to work with at least 12 BODACIOUS women working out next door. Me ,well lets just say I have 2 LEFT feet and will not be trying to fit that in my schedule .... Hope you all rush out and get some totes , just remember to save some for me !
Thinking Spring.... It is another rainy day, gray and gloomy . I am so looking forward to Spring. Creating little Spring Vignettes in the Shop. I am like that little bird , looking for signs. Will it be here soon ?
Tangerine Tango...color of the year. How CHEERFUL is that. We have lots of ORANGE in the shop and a few oldies but goodies from my home. Nothing like orange to cheer you up. Feeling a little off...trying not to catch my Hero's cold...don't think it's working.... Where is my Hot Tea and Honey ?
We are located in Historic Old Town Lilburn in the state of Georgia USA. 93 Main Street 30047 Open Monday - Saturday 10am - 5 pm 770 279-1300
Antiques in Old Town has 7000 sq ft and 35 Great Dealers. Every day NEW-OLD Treasures arrive. Our shop has an upper and a lower level. Come see..... Closed Sunday- Gone to Church...
God has blessed me with a passion for decorating and creating. I see possibilities in everything! Less is not more and some more is never enough.... I collect: Mica Churches, Vintage Tomato pin cushions, Turkey dishes, Vintage green handle kitchen items, Berlinwork mottos, and more... Together with my HERO Hugh we run Antiques In Old Town. Hugh does all the anti gravity projects (as he calls them) and handles all the daily stuff, leaving me time to create,decorate and visit with all our special customers and friends. God is so good! I count my blessings daily.
