We are located at 9230 Pflumm Road in Lenexa, Kansas. I will post some photos soon, they are on my computer at the store. I still have dealer space available but it is going quickly, I accept consignments in the shop especially that of local artists, I would love to have some folk art pieces or handcrafted furniture pieces. Yet I am open to seeing what you have.

On Oct. 18 we are having a “community garage sale” in the shed behind the shop. Many people are bringing items to sell. We will also be recruiting members for FOOT or Friends of Old Town. On Oct. 23rd. I am doing a free appraisal clinic at the shop from 7-8:30 pm. Additional classes and community activities will be on a signboard in front of the store and here on my blog. We are working with a group of families who have kids and adult children with special needs and hopefully our first project will be creating beautiful Christmas ornaments that will be for sale in the shop.

I welcome any group who needs a place to meet in the evenings or Sunday to my shop. I want to give back to the community and this is just another way I can do that.

Oh my gosh what an adventure this has been. Many late nights getting inventory cleaned and priced. Obsessing over the way furniture and display fixtures were placed. Ironing aprons, doilies, table linens, cleaning windows, cleaning up from the road construction and the dust created from that, cleaning up from the leaking roof…. and on and on. I loved every moment of it and it has been very well worth the time spent.

I still have SO much more inventory to bring into the shop. My consignments have been wonderful from a Tom Seely sleigh bed to Bart the stuffed bear (he is pretty fabulous).

I kept somewhat of a journal about my experience of the month and a half it took for me to get to the point I was ready to open the doors and will work on getting that posted along with photos of the store.

My website is still being redesigned but I have found a terrific young man who is doing an amazing job and I hope to have the new site online in November with loads of new inventory.

I am so upset over the fact that my website is not fully functioning at the busiest time of year.

It started out 5 months ago as a simple redesign of the website and has turned into a complete mess that I am being billed for.

My side menu is gone… where, I don’t know but I cannot get it to reappear. I have not been able to add new inventory for all these months either.

So if you happen to need something for the holidays please email me and I will see if I have it in stock.

I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused any of my regular customers.

I have posted a simple inventory program on my online antique shop site that will allow you to catalog your antiques and collectibles, room by room. You can even add photographs if you so desire.

You can save the information to the hard drive of your computer or print it out directly from my website.

It is really important to have an acurate accounting of the antiques, collectibles and memorabilia that you own, just in case.

Big News*** A friend and I are trying to find a location to open an antique shop!

 

I am so very excited about this I can hardly stand myself. Finding retail rental space around here… that is affordable is a challenge but we are pounding the pavement to find the perfect spot.

 

My online website will stay in place and we will post a couple of webcams in the shop so that visitor’s to the website can see what we are up to in the shop.

 

We have fabulous ideas that we will implement for our customer’s, lots of informational resources and references… free. And much more. I don’t want to spill the beans here as someone might take our ideas.

 

I will keep you up to date on what is going on and when. Hopefully one of these days I will get the opportunity to meet each and everyone of you.

To all of my faithful customer’s, first time shop visitor’s and anyone else who happens upon this little ole post…..

I wish you nothing but the very happiest, healthiest and most wonderful of holiday seasons.

May you be surrounded by those you love either in person or in spirit and be smothered in the all of the best that this world has to give.

From my family to yours,

Michelle
