13 days till Christmas...

and I am just now posting photos of the shoppe.

We had our Christmas open house way back in November (November 2nd to be exact)!! We have had a very busy season...thanks to all our wonderful customers!! We have sold out of a lot of things so some of these pics look a little bare!!

We still have some great gift ideas & lots of things under $20.00 for stockings, teacher gifts, gift baskets, hostess gifts, etc, etc...

so stop in if you have a chance!!

"Countdown to Christmas" is going on in our small town...

these 2 adorable boys will be featured

in the Pontiac Daily Leader!!

They were photographed in front of an antique cart on the Shoppe's porch!!

Thanks Deb for including

"The Antique Shoppe"

this year in your feature!!!

I had a wonderful time at the country living fair this past weekend! The weather was gorgeous...it was so fun to get away with 2 great friends!! The fair had some really beautiful booths... these are a few of my personal favorites...Urban Farmhouse, Findings @ SummerHouse, Quintessential Antiques, McMaster & Storm, Home Girl, & Willow Nest Farm! The grounds were beautiful...just a great place to hold an event!! So, I took a few pictures...hope you enjoy them!

A sampling of photos from our fall open house this past weekend!!

Just got this in last night...sold a big piece that is going to Texas and was glad to find a replacement so quickly! I think I will paint the bottom part and sell the 2 pieces separately. Needs a little freshening up, but it is a great solid piece with lots of storage & a great wood top. I can see it as an island in a kitchen!!

Have a great weekend!

(Daton is going to a big auction tomorrow...hope he finds some great stuff! Wish I could go along...he gets to do the fun part of the job:)

FYI :)

Autumn Open House

September 11th & 12th

9a.m. - 5p.m.

Chicago or Bust!!

Definitely feeling like the Beverly Hillbilly's here!

We took a truckload of things to Brimfield in Chicago this past Saturday! I was pretty excited to see Julie's shop and I wasn't disappointed! She was incredibly nice and her shop was amazing! She has a great eye for putting things together and she is getting a lot of press! She will be featured in Country Living...not sure when...but they already did the photo shoot! It is a real blessing for us to be able to sell some of our things at her place. One of the items we are consigning is a 17 foot red 1937 Old Towne Canoe...it is really cool. She will be suspending it from the ceiling over a huge harvest table! Can't wait to see it and hopefully I can share a picture on this blog!! Here are a few pics I took while I was there...
