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.

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.

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.
