Southern Hearts

I am thrilled to have been invited to become a consignor at Kingsville's newest store, Southern Hearts. It's a fun shop owned by sisters Michelle Smith and Mary Kathleen Yeary. I got moved in last night with the help of my husband and my son. The store opened this morning sharply at 10:00am. They have done a marvelous job in setting it up.

The store is located on King Street, right across from the Chamber of Commerce in the Frontier Center. They are planning to even have artist's workshops, make-it and take-its, and girl's nights out in their creative art studio located in the shop.

I will sell furniture, jewelry, pictures, and other goodies there.

Stop by when you get a chance; you'll love it.

The Junk Fairy blew me kisses

The Junk Fairy blew me kisses yesterday. I went to the A.R.K. (Animal Rescue Kleberg) sale and loaded up! The old apple crate will be great for displaying items when I do the Bishop Centennial Celebration next month. I was also quite pleased to find a bag full of artificial bird eggs. (They are in the short, squatty apothecary jar). The jewelry box still had its key and is in really good shape.

My plans are to cut up the tablecloth to make a nice liner for my rolling shopping cart. No self-respecting junker can go to Round Top without one. LOL. I just know that it is going to be very difficult to make that first cut, but that is what I bought it for. I am looking for a plastic tablecloth to make the lining and the vintage one will go on the outside. I will be on the lookout for some ball fringe. Wouldn't that be sweet? I would like to take it to Wimberley next weekend, so I guess I better get crackin'.
This Gold Metal Cookbook was an unexpected find. It is 100 years old; copyright 1910. It is in incredible condition, too! I can't wait to try out some of its recipes.

Estate sale yummies

Last Saturday, I went to a very nice estate sale. The only problem - I was very, very late. Silly me forgot all about it until after lunch. The good part was that the workers were getting awfully tired and wanted to be done. They were making some awesome deals. Deals on what was left, that is. I don't even want to think about all of the treasures that went home with someone else.

The sale was for the late Mary Lewis Kleberg. You can read more about her by clicking HERE. She did wonderful things for Kingsville and South Texas. She will be greatly missed.

This was a really cool piece. Can you read the engraving? It was done in 1895. Sweet, huh?
