Antiques

Continuing with our day in Dallas. Linda and I had some time to kill, since our husbands were on the golf course, so she took me to the antique mall where her shop (or stall) is..No, I have never seen it. Linda and Bruce are long time summer friends where we all live in Colorado.
Linda and her antiques
Since their are so many vendors under one roof, they have a central cashier. Each vendor is supposed to work as cashier once every six weeks or so, but Linda usually pays someone to work for her.
Business is good so she rented second stall.
I love these kind of places and could spend all day looking through things like this.
Do you have antique malls where you live?

  1. Yes they are fun to browse around. I Amsterdam we have a antique hall like these with many little shops in it.

  2. We are overrun with antique shops and secondhand stores, all which are interesting to browse and photograph. Your friend has a large inventory, and I'm interesting in her china.

  3. Yes, I could stay all day browsing, too.

  4. Linda's place looks very interesting to visit. We tend to have very large old houses with many rooms filled by different antique dealers so I think that is probably a similar idea.

  5. There's an antique centre here that operates under the same principles- several vendors, one cash.

  6. No antique stores in the mountains but several large establishments on Broadway in Denver. I love Linda's shop - her displays are enticing!

  7. Dearest Janey,
    Not so much in the place where we live, at least not for finding nice and elegant things. But within an hour driving distance you find them and further away even more so.
    It is fun for browsing through and pondering what story can be told...
    Hugs,
    Mariette

  9. On me too Janey, I love a regular look around an antique shop. Love the history of old things :)
