Hoity-Toity Hunting in the Lone Star State !

We just return from a little huntin' trip in Dallas, Tx... the Lone Star State. There is something to be said about hunting for treasures in the state that everything is bigger !

Vintage FireHoses with brass nozzle & fittings..

                                               (lucky for us these were not sold by the lbs...)

During our Holiday Hunting trip we found some pretty wild goodies. For instance  casket plates, yes caskets as in RIP (  we are thinking of upcycling these into mini writing boards ), bait Buckets, a very vintage canteen ( this canteen has some miles on it ),medical instruments ( scarey & large ones ),  burlap bags from England dated 1963, several vintage lucite handbags...... and oh so so so many more wild& unique finds.. As we unpack the 3 large boxes ( I think the UPS man may have gotten a hernia from this delivery, sorry ! ) we will post pictures and share our treasures.... Enjoy the "Hoity-Toity" Holidays we are  !
                                                           "HO"...."HO"....."HO"...

Country Store : Unique & Quirky......

... this is  sampling of the area we refer to at Hoity-Toity Mercantile as the Country Store. On this wrought iron tower you find old tv tubes  in their original boxes...a tin full of  nails ( never been used)...tiny fuses in small metal cases.. These objects of the past were a vital part of each & everyday life then , today we put in a large clear jar and wonder what was that used for ?

Lights, Camera , Action !

...Everyday is exciting at the shop ! But, today it was lights , camera, & action with Lake ETV the shop is in the limelight (LOL) they taped several segments with Paradise Orchids, Inc. that will be airing very soon ! Thanks , Sue
