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.

Beat the heat!

Perfect summer day activity! Stop in to see us at Blue Hills Antique Mall in historic Geronimo. The shop is amazing and a true maze with 5 houses attached to each other making it a delightful 9,000 square feet of unique shops as varied as the over 40 individual dealers. There are lots of sales inside as well as out on the front porch.

See you soon!

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!

Kitchen Cabinet Project

Here she is in all of her painted glory! This piece is going to take a few hours to get the paint off and then I can determine what the next step will be. The glass, hardware, sifter, and bones all look good.  I do know she will look great in the shop and will find a new forever home.This is my last larger project which means I HAVE to hit a few sales and get restocked.

Will post the upates as we go along.

I Love Lucy

This fun retro 1950s style dining set is really a jewel straight out of an "I Love Lucy" show. The owner, Nettie, has been real busy taking more space & expanding her shop area. She has some wonderful items so stop in and shop soon.

ML & Brad Workin' at Blue Hills Antique Mall

Don't these 2 macho men look sweet & cozy on the Queen Vic Sofa? I thought they showed up to work... silly me! All is forgiven because we went to the Grain Bin Cafe & they paid  

Below is one of Woopi Jane's custom painted pieces - It is now located across the street from Blue Hills at Diamond D Boutique - They have 2 other pieces in their shop bought from Woopi Jane's Thangs. Great promotion for me - Thanks guys!

 We have been really busy with a steady flow of folks stopping in. The Mall is several buildings connected in really cool ways. The original shop area is now the back Blue Hills. Expansion this month will add another 8 booths. WooHoo! The more the merrier.

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.
