FALL DECORATIONS

Before we turn out thoughts and efforts to the upcoming Christmas Season, I wanted to show you my store decorated for fall. It's been so busy, we just had our annual Apple Butter Festival where the town is shut off and 10's of thousands are shuttled in for the 2 day event. We have 2 upcoming Christmas events so the next few weeks will be busy as well.








Kimmswick is now designated as a historical town. I was fortunate to have one placed in front of my store.

VINTAGE PHOTOGRAPHS

I can never pass up the vintage photographs at estate sales. It's sad that families don't hold on to these dear family treasures. Truth is, they usally don't know who is in the photograph, and therefore, it has no meaning to them.

I love to look at the clothes, hats, scenery, and of course, the people! It's fascinating to me to go back in time. I'm posting a minature picture I purchased this past weekend at an estate sale. This is in a metal frame. More information in my ETSY SHOP

ESTATE SALE FINDS

Most people look forward to the weekends because they are off work. Not me! I'm one of those people who LOVE what I do! The first thing I do every Friday morning is to check the newspaper on-line classified ads for estate sales. This past week had some promising ads, so with my list in hand, I left to seek the weekly treasures I need to stock my store. There is nothing more exciting than to drive up to a sale and seeing people walk out with bags of "stuff"! You can usually get a feel for the sale as soon as you walk in the door. Is there a line??? Are the tables piled high?

The sales this past weekend were disappointing except for one. This one had an entire room of fabric, trims and ribbon. I spent a long time sorting through boxes on the floor and under the table. I found so many things I could barely make my way to the check out. That day, I kept thinking about everything I left behind. Yup, you guessed it. I went back the next morning, just hoping there were a few things left.

Needless to say, I purchased more trims! I made my way to the check out and the lady said "today is 1/2 price day". Can it get any better???

Here are a few of the things I got, I'm slowing listing them in my etsy shop, AntiquesGaloreGal. I hope you have the time to take a peek!

STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL KIMMSWICK, MISSOURI 2009

I posted about the annual Strawberry Festival in an earlier post. The town is packed with vendors. The next several posts have photos of the town, several shops and vendors, including the 2 I had at my shop Antiques Galore Gal. Visitors are shuttled into town and then taken back to their cars after a fun day of shopping and eating. We had a storm Sunday afternoon. Not as bad as predicted, the bad winds did not come. Most people stayed, which was good for all the vendors that worked so hard to set up their tents.

ANTIQUES GALORE GAL STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL VENDORS

I'm lucky enough to have space for a couple of vendors in front of my store for the festivals. This year vendors were Candles, Gifts and More and Express Yourself. Take a look at what they had to offer!Visit Candles, Gifts and More website. You will find candles, aroma beads, sachets, oils, burners and gift items!
