The Latest

I got to spend some quality time at the shop this morning. between being sick in January and a broken camera things have been kind of slow around here. It felt so good to go in early this morning and move some things around, do some mark downs, and make things look pretty.

















These are Hello Kitty Watches.







I hope you are all having a great weekend!

Arkansas Shopping Trip

While on vacation in Arkansas this past weekend I was able to go with a friend and do some treasure hunting. These are some of the things I found. Everything needs to be cleaned up and somethings will be painted or used in other projects, but I am really pleased with everything I was able to find.
North American Teddy Bear Co. 1979 the Humphrey Beargart Bear. He is missing a couple pieces from his outfit, but he is in great shape.
The chairs are old chairs from on elementary school. They are so sturdy and would be great for a homeschool or craft area for kids.
Vintage luggage always seems to be a big hit when I can find it. This pink piece has a broken latch and needs a little cleaning, but she has so much character.
The green suitcase is my favorite thing I found this weekend.
I love this bowl with the pink rose, the larger bowl underneath has yellow flowers. They are both so pretty and dainty.
This little 3 1/2 inch tall vase is so sweet. I love the colors.
This pile might look a little crazy, but I am so excited to see what I can create with it.
Most of these items will end up in my shop at the Antique Gallery of Houston or in my etsy shop. If you have any questions or are interested in anything just let me know. Thanks for looking.

Latest Finds

The other night I was able to wonder through the Antique Gallery without any of my little helpers. I love getting to spend time in the store like I used to. I found this great little dress form, she is about 16 inches tall and so cute.


This three sectioned white box was a great find, and I had these two mason jars that fit the large square openings.

Who knew that right before Christmas would be a great time to find some treasures. I even enlisted my Mother in Law and Brother in law to help me today.
A fun Coca Cola tin from 1996. It is in great condition, i love the front. It is 6 inches tall.
A handmade 4 inch bow with the cutest snowmen.


A metal tree, there are places for screws on the bottom, this could be very cool.
I love the character in this brass 1.
Fun rusty items that I found, a vintage kitchen utensil, a rusty spoon, a very heavy brass 1, and a round something that I am sure I will find a use for.
Some of these items have made it onto my etsy shop www.etsy.com/shop/Amhil704. Some will make it into the store at the Antique Gallery. If you are interested in any of them just let me know.
I have several smaller pieces of furniture that I will be working on over the next couple of weeks so check back to see them! I am really excited about a timeout bench that I found. I know ours gets a lot of use around here.

Merry Christmas!
