Antique Archaeology in Nashville.... Part 1

When my friends were visiting the end of September, I had mentioned that we went to Mike Wolf's new store, Antique Archaeology.  Here are the photos of the store I promised to show you.  It's in a  old factory downtown, the building is amazing, beautiful old brick and wonderful windows.  There was a lot of interesting things but most of them were pretty pricey.  We were there on a Sunday and the place was packed so it was hard to get photos but I think I got some good ones!  Here are some of the outside of the building.

 

First, this Mobile Gas Horse was my favorite thing! 

 I don't remember how much it was, just that it was a lot!

Now, Let's go in!

This old cabinet was my second favorite thing, the patina on it is amazing!

There was a lot of great stuff so stay tuned for part 2!

Till next time......

Halloween Around the House...2012

Halloween is almost here so before it's over, I wanted to show you a few
of my favorite Halloween decorations that come out every year to celebrate
the season!  A lot of them are of course, thrifty finds.

 

 I got this owl the last fall we had our store open from one

of our dealers before the "owl" craze.  He's one of

my favorite things, you can't tell from the pic, but he's really sparkley

 

 

 

This skeleton pic I got from one of my favorite dealers at our

old store for  $3.99, I thought it would be perfect for Halloween!

 

Owl - sale from Kirklands $3.99

 

 

One of my favorite photos of the kids, starting at left, Aaron's friend,

Aaron as army man, Chris as skeleton and Kate as Belle, 

 

Pumpkin wall hanging, from our old store, $5.00

 

Skull, ( 75 cents) under glass,  cloche, $1.00 from
a yard sale this summer

 

Red shelf, yard sale - 50cents
 

My favorite jar of  "eyeballs", collected years ago from

Taco Bell kids meals

This is a vintage music score from our old store, got it for $1.00

and had it framed at Hobby Lobby.

 

A friend and I made these years ago and sold them at a craft fair.

 

Halloween wall hanging from my old store, $7.99

(man, I miss our store, I used to get some great stuff there)!

 

Another photo of my kids that I get out at Halloween,

Chris, the pirate, Kate the princess, and, Aaron, the power ranger

Hard to believe they are now 26- Chris, 21- Kate, and 23- Aaron!

The same friend and I also made these for the fair

Got this little pumpkin guy at the Gathering Craft Fair in Nashville a few years ago

Well, there you have it, some of my favorite Halloween decorations,

hope you enjoyed your little glimpse into my Halloween!

Till next time.....

Halloween Mantle....2012

I can't believe Halloween's almost here!  I added a  lot more to my mantle this year then I have in the past and am pretty happy with the way it's turned out.  Most of the things I've used, as usual, are thrifty finds from yard sales and thrift stores to sale items from some of my favorite stores.  

I added feathers and pine cones to the garland  I got at Hobby Lobby a couple of years ago
on sale.   The 2 bundles of sticks - $2.00 each at a yard sale 2 weeks ago
 

Window - $5.00 / witch print on wood - $6.50 from our old store. 
It's signed and dated 2005

Pumpkin man - sale at Marshall's,  $5.99

Crows - $1.00 each at the Dollar Store last year
Skulls - 50 cents last year at Kroger after Halloween
 

 

Pumpkin lady - on sale at Marshall's last year - $7.99
 

This cool Halloween banner was given to me by my BF, Wanda

for my birthday a couple of years ago



                                                                 

                                                                        

Cat garland - a few years ago on sale at Hobby Lobby





At the last minute, I added my vintage pumpkin man in front of the  picket fence

He is from the Good Will a couple of years ago.  We used him for decoration

in our store, where everyone wanted to buy him but I couldn't part with him

The kids thought he was scary but I think he's more cute then scary



 

Well, that's my Halloween mantle for this year.
Next and soon, I'll be showing you Halloween around the house!
Got to hurry, it's almost time to put Halloween away and get out TK!

Till next time......
