Chalkware like this bulldog is a wonderful part of our American life from mid-century and earlier given as prizes at carnival games of chance and along the midways of our local fairs. I remember well the excitement of getting to go the the Tri-State Fair in Amarillo, Texas. The big Ferris wheel was always center stage and the "carnie" folks were ready, willing and able to entertain - for a price!...the sights, the sounds, the people, the memories that make us smile.

New Look - New Inventory

I want to invite everyone to stop in Blue Hills Antique Mall in Geronimo. The past several days have been spent resetting and restocking 2 areas in the store. They are full to the rafters so that means that I am a motivated seller. I love to dicker and i will consider all offers and try to make things work for everyone. Remember that in addition to the store there is Horse Feathers Studio and the barns almost full.

Heres a few more photos of this weeks work.

Elegant Glassware Cool as Ice

Sale ~ Sale ~ Sale!

It's time for some spring cleaning at Woopi Jane's Thangs. We need to make room for several items we recently aquired from a small but nice estate that we bought out last week. Select items will be reduced by 50% with most other items on sale as well. This will include the "stuff" out on the porch.

There are several things in the works up at Horse Feathers Studio which will be in Geronimo real soon. Included will be a sweet 1930s curios cabinet that has been custom painted and I am still working on the Hoozier cabinet along with a few other smaller projects. Remember that it is a one woman show so don't get impatient if it takes a bit longer than you might think. Quality takes time!

Economy is good

Business in the Antique and Collectibles market remains really good. This seems to be true with other dealers I have been visiting with. Over the past weekend I worked in Rockdale at the first Country Estate Auctions in the new Main Street Building and not just dealers were buying. Though not a huge auction we did have about 150 folks and that's a good number. Folks were buying all sorts of goodies.

I personally snagged a cool 1930s Flamingo Mirror. I paid $10.00 and can expect about $75.00 return. There was also some nice pieces of furniture of which I am now the owner of a part of those pieces. Let's see, I got a very nice buffet with a back mirror, a vanity with a lovely round mirror, a great antique chect of drawers, and a few other furniture items.

As for smalls I managed to buy back some planters that I sold about 6 years ago. They still had my mark on them. This time they will go to the shoppe. The couple of fun finds are a kingsley gold stamping machine from 1930 and it works - Spent a dollar. The other is a surf board...have no clue why but I will put it on the porch at the shop and see what happens.

Way to go Tim!!!!!

Blue Hills Antiques Dealers will be watching their folders for announcments.

Kerry scores!

Wow! Tables just don't come any cooler than this sweet English gem. It has an unusual single side drop leaf as seen in this photo and the front has 2 side-by-side drawers. The top is beautiful retro 1950s "I Love Lucy" red with the squiggles for added personality. I can see this table used in so many ways. It is the perfect size for extra kitchen work space. Imagine having this versitle piece in a craft room, your office as a desk, breakfast nook, sun room, bedroom or bath - It just works!

The table is owned by Kerry and Brad who are talented antiquers and collecters with an eye for the high-end glass and pottery, the diverse & divine, as well as the fun kitschy. Find this piece and more in Geronimo, Texas at Blue Hills Antique Mall, an antiquing destination.
