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!

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.

See something you like? Shipping may be a possible and we do have lay-a-way.

This is the small area at the bottom of the stairs where you will find more primitive, country, and rustic offerings - All items marked WJ are 15% and several pieces are up 50% off.

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!

Options, Options, Options

This time of year there is so much going on and it is impossible to take it all in. Classes are ending for the session for almost everyone which means we can expect to see some younger folks in the shop. It is also a time that our winter texans begin to head north. The weather has been dry so dealers are out and about in droves taking advantage os various sales and favorite pickin' spots.

Just this past weekend I was able to aquire the bid for a small 2 bedroom estate. There are lots of collectible smalls and a few nice art pices and small collectibles and assorted furniture. It is one of the situation that requires a move into assisted living. Keep posted for those and remember the auctions soon. I will post pics as the boxed are unpacked. That's the fun part.

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.

Tim Orcutt - Auction Building

I was talking to Tim recently at Blue Hills Antique Mall (where we are vendor neighbors) and learned that the new auction house building is up! Congrats to Tim. I, for one am very excited about a new auction opening up in our area. Not only is this a great and super fun way to pick up on inventory for resale, buy for your home and office, it is another venue for sales for dealers and individules. It feels really good to turn a few pieces that have not been working for you or maybe they were duplicates and find a few items that do work.

You know it's a tough world when we HAVE to go shop or when there's just too much and you have to "flip" a few pieces...What a life we get to enjoy, shopping, visiting, picking, meeting new folks, all the while gathering more "Stuff". There are more than just a few of us looking forward to Tim's sales. I think this will be a great opportunity for both buying and selling.

Drive by when you are out that way. From Seguin  take I10 west towards San Antonio. The new digs are just a few miles out just passed the city limits. Check back for updates.

Love Booming!

Booming is what we all want and bOoMiNg is what happened this weekend at Woopi Jane's Thangs in Blue Hills  -  The shabby chic furniture was flying out of the door and a beautiful English gate leg table was snatched up before we even got it in place. Maybe this activity is due in part to the influx of great folks to the area for the big San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo as well as dealers out shopping to fill out their inventory for "Antique Week" in Roundtop and Warrington. Whatever the cause is we are loving the results!

A journey began

Sold! Sold! Sold! Sold! Sold!

Was it really that long ago? Seems like only yesterday I was standing on a chair in my Grandmother's modern red and yellow kitchen "helping out". I have learned that a journey is not always forward and in fact can be as simple as a soft and sweet memory. Enjoy the pictures from Blue Hills Antique Mall and plan a trip to Geronimo and a walk, hand-in-hand,  with your own unique memories.
