August

Well, you may be wondering "Where'd she go?"  The blogs have dwindled to almost nothing.  

Daddy's passing took a lot out of us here at Reid's. We miss him greatly.  Thank you to all of you who have come by to give us condolences.  He loved his customers.  It's very comforting to know they remember him too.

So now I'm back at work and hopefully I'll make up for lost time in the blogging department.

We have new dealers up on the third floor setting up.  Looks Country Primitive with a Victorian flair.  Yummy!  Ask for booth "SEEKERS".

Leaving us after 10 years booth "W" is retiring from the Antique business to go hug some grandchildren.  How could I ever compete with a grandchild?

BYE LUANNE!  WE'LL MISS YOU!!

Happy 4th of July Everyone!!!  

I may be Canadian, but I LOVE the RED WHITE AND BLUE !!!!!

Enjoy the Fireworks!  Selma will be hosting a ton of fun right in front of our shop.  It's their 10th annual festival.  Come on out and enjoy a free show!

We'll be here until at least 6 pm. After that you will find us in our lawn chairs out front soaking in all that good family fun.

It's Time for Mother's Day!

It's only a week away.....how about a little something for the woman who loves you unconditionally.  

Something soft and sweet like her.

Or Rosey Red?

Or a Hot Cuppa?  Remember all those hot meals she has cooked for you for all these years.

Whatever you do....tell her you love her.  She deserves to hear it.

LOVE YOU MOM!

I have a stove similar to this one at home that we rescued from a building that was being torn down.  Bless my husband he spent days cleaning it for me.

 I absolutely love cooking on my gas stove!  

This one is sweet and clean as a whistle.  Can't you just smell the pot roast cooking?  Or my Aunt Francie's Lasagna, yum!

How about some Copper-ware to go with the fancy Kitchy Kitchen stuff!  Sparkling Clean.

 

Or some cookbooks.  

Never have too many of those.  

I especially love the books that were used, with the sticky pages with Grandma's suggestion of a pinch of this or that written into the margin.  Oatmeal cookies anyone?

 

Can you tell I'm hungry?

Let's wash it all down with a good cup of herbal tea.

Over the Easter Weekend we had several of our dealers rework their booths with lots of yummy items.  Check out what's in the "Love It Again" booth.  

Lots of vintage Bar Ware! 

Shaken....Not Stirred!

Check out the Crooners in the background.

Swizzle it!

Also restocked, booth LJC23 on the 2nd Floor

A Different type of Bar Ware

 Never have enough cameras in the house.

 

Do you suppose it played the Donna Reed Show???  

Our Donna Reid likes to think so!

Gardening plans yet?

I can't wait to get digging!

Naughty little boy.  Did you notice he is pinching her bottom?
