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.
Woopi Jane's Thangs, where memories are rediscovered everyday, and the simpler lifestyle of days gone by are recaptured for a moment. We would love to hear of your favorite memories, antiquing spots and cherished items.

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.
