Warrenton, Round Top, Marburger Farm...We're Off for the Hunt!

Our engines are running. We are so excited to be off to the Warrenton, Round Top, Marburger Farms (and surrounds) Antique shows in South Texas! Last year we used the excuse of Val's 50th birthday to get away. It worked so well, we just figured we would use it every year!
We had so much fun last year, met so many great people and saw so many Great Things!!

Our plans are to drive down Sunday in time to visit with friends at Theresa Cano's (Garden Vintage Antqs), Blog party, including Jo Packham of Where Women Create and the Creative Connection. Power Shop all day Monday (we are getting in training for our Paris Flea Market Trip, only 3 weeks away!) around the thousands of vendors mostly around Warrenton, then arrive for the Early Bird shopping at Marburger Farms on Tuesday Morning.
Remember, we are shopping for YOU, not us....we are just your humble servants!
We are taking the computers and plan to Blog our way though so stay tuned!!!

Mark your Calendars!
Our next Saturday Sale will Be APRIL 17th ** Note this date is early due to Paris. We have lots of new merchandise and of course, lots of surprises!

Vintage "Easter" Hats Antique and Chic

We don't often have vintage or antique hats in the shop, but we just got a collection with a group of other items. Some of them are oh-too-cute. If anyone knows one of those young "vintage girls ", you know, the ones who are tiny, and dress vintage, and you just love them? Send them over to the Red Shed! So here goes the fashion show......

Love this one!!! Friend, Danielle came in and said her and her sister had hats just like them, when they were little, FOR Easter!




Black is so hard to photograph. This one is actually a pure black velvet...

And we have a few garden hats that you can wear straight into summer...
Not sure about this one... Is it a sailor's hat?
Or a chapeau as modeled by Lou Ann J. During our Paris Trip Pre Party!
And finally...there's always gotta be one.....a good old "I will pay YOU to take this away" kind of hat.....What do you think?
If you are interested in any of these hats, just give us a call or email. They range from $15 to $29 and we will be happy to mail them to you. Plus, first one who orders gets the last hat for FREE!!
