Antiques are Bigger and Better in TEXAS

Hit CounterFirst day out of the shoot (thats the way they talk here), hubs and I headed for the Largest Antique Mall in Texas.....who knew...its right down the road in Spring, Texas.  I saw a tiny ad in the Houston newspaper...and put it on the list of must sees.

First, would you look at the size of this baby!  Two tobacco warehouses long in South Carolina vernacular.  Hubs threatened to leave me there and come back to get me on his way home to SC.

But faced with a choice of sitting in the car in 103 degree heat and antique shopping....he chose...antique shopping.  (Children...be prepared for some strange Christmas gifts this year...your Daddy had the anointing...he kept pulling me into booths....look at this...don't you think Wayne would like this Ten Gallon Hat with an armadillo on the front?


And hey, try this on, Donnamo....you need a cowgirl hat....think about the Antioch Rodeo...you don't fit in....you need this hat



Oh, and look at these sweet china doggies......didn't your Mom have a dog collection?

And this mall has the goods....a man who wanders around and takes anything you are carrying back to the check out booth for you...no messy carts to get in your way.... also you can shop without realizing you have now purchased 25 items and blown your credit card max without even realizing it.

Hubs wanted to get Granny a cake box....I do admit it was gorgeous....an old one refurbished with pink roses...but I ask you kids...does Granny need another cake tote?  She has a collection and I've only seen the Tupperware square one out in public...(.and if YOU have it you better get it back post haste...no cakes until it returns to her kitchen).

Hubs had so much fun..he asked the check out lady for directions to the Second Largest Antique Mall in TEXAS.  We are saving that for next week.  Unless we DISCOVER they have put a stop on our you know what.
 
Meanwhile, what do you like about antique malls?
