So Long 2013

Booth 58 says

"So Long 2013".....

 

 

We are looking back over the last year and thinking about all the cool stuff that came our way:

 

In January, ACM changed owners and we moved the Booth 58 to a bigger area.

 

After several months of getting used to our new space, we moved again ... but this time to the window.  Having the window to "play" in is a dream come true!

 

The ACM has seen lots of improvements through the year....including a new Virginia Street.

 

We have loved our year of junkin' together and letting our creative juices flow. 

 

Can't wait to see what 2014 will bring!

 

 



Merry Christmas Mess

"One of the most glorious messes in the world is the mess created in the living room on Christmas day.  Don't clean it up too quickly." 

Andy Rooney

 Our family is great at making "glorious messes"....  We hope you enjoy your family's mess as much as we are enjoying ours!

Merry Christmas

from the Booth 58 Family

 

"For unto us is born this day in the City of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord."

Monday at the Mall

After a COLD weekend here in North Texas, I know there are lots of you ready to get out and get some Christmas shopping done.  Head on up to McKinney and the Antique Company Mall this Monday! 

We've added more B58 Banners....

 a cup of "tree" anyone?

Just added this vintage dresser... great piece!

Stay Warm and Happy Monday!

Tree "Fun"

Hubby and kids and I pulled the tree out of the attic and had the usual "fun" trying to figure out how to assemble it and make sure all the lights were on the right way... You all know that kind of "fun" - right?   Every year we say, "Let's try to remember to do this differently next year..." And then we forget.... Again.

Oh well, the tree is up and beautiful - even if it took an engineering degree to figure it all out!  Little Mr. 58 got into decorating this year.  He hung about 75 ornaments all by himself ... all on the same two branches.  Love it!

How about you?  Have you trimmed your tree yet?  We have several Booth 58 versions in the mall now....

Our silver spoon tree

Don't forget to enjoy the "fun" parts of this month! 

Monday at the Mall

The countdown to Christmas is officially on!  After a fun weekend on the Square with Christmas cheer found on every corner, the Antique Company Mall's halls are decked!

Look who was outside ACM all weekend... real reindeer!

A few sights in Booth 58 on this Merry Monday:

Monday at the Mall

Spent some time this weekend moving things around in the booth.  Added lots of "merry!"  Come on in and see:

We worked the Mall Saturday and saw lots of friendly shoppers out... lots of Christmas shopping already going on... Don't miss out!

Merry Monday at the Mall

A few more sights in the booth today...

We decorated the "back booth" with more Christmas color than our front more "elegant" look.  You can find lots of good rusty and crusty stuff in the back section!  

 We hope you are beginning to get in the holiday mood.... We sure are!

Have a Merry Monday!

Be Bright

Mom and Dad and I spent an evening last weekend bringing in all of Christmas. 

It is always fun to unpack Christmas -right?

 Our front half of Booth 58 is what we call our "silver and white" section.  We had fun dressing it up with lots of silver plate, white iron stone, and of course some Booth 58 "whimsy" touches!

 I spent some time doing Christmas chalkart on all of Mr. 58's chalkboards... We have giant, medium, and small.... a size for everyone!  The perfect gift for the person that has everything....Have you   started making your list yet?

Monday at the Mall

Happy Monday at the Mall!

Our window display now... welcoming the season

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here...

 Look who's greeting all of our ACM customers at the front door.... 

This jolly guy is life size and wonderful!

Come back later this week to see more of Booth 58 Christmas.
