Ha! If by teensy tiny you're referring to King Kong or the Titanic! My buddy Troy of Junk Exchange (and a frequent JUNKMARKET Style contributor, too) had a HUGE blowout warehouse sale this past week...
My first antique mall booth!
Look, y'all! IT'S MY BOOTH!!! I'm so excited! The big day arrived with a minimum of drama and angst....My booth opened today at the Antique Mall! It was less than 2 months ago that I began blogging...

Re: "PARISIEN ADVENTURES"
Okay now, you DO realize I'm stealing this from you, right? What a super fab work of art you created there! You know, Jeanne d'Arc Living sells really cool stencil thingies, I'm thinking if I can't find vinyl letters like yours, that would be an option, too.

Re: Stocking up for my booth...

Re: Sewing table repurposed as desk....
Thank you! That was actually my old post office box door....they built a new post office a few years back, and gave all of us box holders the opportunity to buy our box. You betcha, I said! Beautiful AND sentimental value!
