Monday at the Mall

Make plans to join us next Saturday, April 12th in Downtown McKinney for Arts in Bloom 2014...

 More than 150 local and regional artists showcase their talents, lining the streets and store fronts throughout the twelve-block downtown area.

I'm eager to see the Chalk Walk: Sidewalks spring to life with color and creativity when artists' imaginations run wild at Chalk Walk on the sidewalks surrounding McKinney Performing Arts Center. 

Stop by Antique Company Mall too.... There is always something new to see!  We plan to change  out our window display this week to welcome you Art Walkers.

Happy Monday!

March Days

Hello this Thursday.  I love March... but it can be confusing... is it spring or winter?

 Still not ready to pack away the sweaters... but the flip flops aren't too far away.

 

"It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light and winter in the shade." 

Charles Dickens

White or Wheat... furniture?

Hubby and Big Brother went on a camping trip this weekend.  I did their shopping for them, and Hubby had one simple request, "Honey, do you mind buying us just plain ol' white bread? I like the healthy whole grain bread you usually buy, but for this trip, white bread would be awesome." My All American Hubby...teaching his All American Son about being a Man... camping in the woods.... eating white bread!

Ok, so, how am I going to tie this back to Booth 58?  Furniture.... Yep!  I hope I haven't lost you  yet...

  You might have noticed that we have a lot of white furniture.  We bring in stained wood and different painted pieces sometimes...Right now, we have a beautiful table that has a gorgeous finish on it... just too pretty to slap white paint on. 

Other vendors sell lots of gorgeous furniture.... painted, stained, refinished.... For some reason, we mostly sell white furniture.

 It is kind of like the white bread  vs whole grain bread.  We have tried to be "that healthy mom" with the whole grain bread.... Somehow we end up back with the good ol' white bread.

 And like "good ol' mom", we like to have the kids' favorite on hand.

 

Come in soon to see what kind of furniture we have.  White and Wheat!

Hello Spring

Dad planted daffodil bulbs the year I moved into my house. At the end of each winter season, these beautiful yellow pops of goodness make their debut in my yard. Always a sweet surprise.

 

This year, he also planted a bunch on the farm.  When we drove up the driveway, I could see them right away, and they seemed to be welcoming us... along with Spring!  Spring is here!

  

Spring has sprung in Booth 58 too.

Come up to McKinney to see what we have added to the booth this week.  We added more than 40 new items this weekend! 

Hello Spring!

Junk Dynasty

We are back home from our Spring Break on the Farm with the Booth 58 Gang.

Mr. 58's "Girls" say "howdy" - along with their 20+ new babies. 

Had some wonderful time playing with cousins and eating good food (my favorite!).  One night, after Granddaddy (Mr. 58) finished the prayer before dinner, Cousin #1 chimed in, "We are just like Duck Dynasty...minus the beards!  And Granddaddy, you are like Phil cause you are the old guy."

Well, we do have some things in common with the Duck Commander family.... Mom and Dad live out in "the sticks" .... our men wear camouflage (sometimes) and enjoy hunting..... we sit around a big table, eat good food, and love Jesus.  But, we are missing the facial hair!

After a junkin' trip with my kids last week, I think we would be better named "Junk Dynasty."  They already have a love for junk...It is a legacy they are living already.... I think it is in their blood!

A load a day....

"A load a day keeps the chaos away."

 

Our newest window display...

 

We had fun coming up with a "wash day" scene....

Bubbles included!

Monday at the Mall

We're not at the Mall this Monday... My part of the Booth58 Fam is headin' to the Farm to hang out with the whole Gang for Spring Break ....

We will be doing some playing with the grandparents, cousins, and cows.

What are you doing this week? It's a perfect week to head up to Antique Company Mall in McKinney to see what you can dig up.

Happy Spring Break

Every 10 days...

We have a business goal to add 40 new items to Booth 58 every 10 days.  A little of this... and a little of that.....You just never know what it might be.

Some times that includes big pieces of furniture.... And it almost always includes lots of "smalls."

We appreciate our faithful B58 shoppers... and we know many of you frequent Antique Company Mall to see what's new.  We strive to make your shopping experience "fresh" every 10 days by adding plenty of new goods.  

Keep coming by to see .... and we love all of  you who "pre-shop" here on our blog and on our FB page.
