Antique World Mall-Boise, ID

Hello!

I've posted before about the Antique World Mall (and The Annex) in Boise, where I have a small booth, but I've never shared any pics with you of this fantastic store. It's filled to the rafters with row after row of fabulous treasures-everything from Shabby Chic to one-of-a-kind collectibles. You could spend many happy hours (I certainly have) treasure hunting while sipping complimentary coffee and munching on cookies. They were also the 2008 Boise Weekly "Best-of-Boise" Winner. I love being part of this mall-you would too!

In addition, every third Fri of the month is "Save After Six" where from 6-9pm participating dealers have additional discounts, there are drawings for Mall Money, and hot popcorn, cookies, and coffee are served. Here's the link to their website (I've also added them to the sidebar links) and a few pics to entice you to stop by the next time your in Boise:

Our super-sweet manager Sue who knows everything about antiques and dapper Dan can assist you with your every need.

My cute little spot.
A yellow hutch, old wire basket, and pretty blue-and-yellow glassware.

This fluffy bed makes me want to snuggle-up and take a nap!

I love this black room divider made from old french doors and the sparkly chandelier.

Frilly lampshades and linens fill this colorful booth.

A shabby white hutch filled with treasures and a white birdcage sits below chippy white garden lattice.
Sue always has a rotating display by the front door showcasing seasonal or special items.

A primitive pie-pan tier, worn egg holder, and old silver teapots show pretty patina.

Another wire birdcage and chalkware ducks sit on an old weathered green trunk.

Another one of my favorite booths. Wish I could buy it all!

We also have our 10th Anniversary Celebration coming up May 30th & 31st. There will be gift certification drawings, treats, special sales, and free appraisals to benefit the Idaho Food Bank. I'll post more pics in the coming months to keep you updated and inspired to decorate vintage!

Take care,

Di

Antique Mall Updates



Hello!

I've spent the last week updating my booth at the Antique World Mall in Boise. Over the last few Sat morning yard sales, I've found tons of treasures-a reward for venturing out in the freezing, rainy, cold Spring mornings. Here's a few pics of my loot:
A vintage "American in Paris" guide with Eiffel Tower on the front (you know I love Eiffel Towers-this one might end up at my house).

A vintage "French for Travelers" guide, Mother's Day plaque, and silver crown card holder.

A beautiful ceramic flower lamp with urn bottom-only ONE flower was damaged! A shabby blue baby doll crib, elephant child's planter, and pink ballerina birthday candles.

They say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. My son and girlfriend have started to go with me yard sale shopping. They are into "vintage" stuff and bought a few things to sell at the mall. It's so fun to have a common interest. They went "vintage style" to the Senior Prom this year. They looked so adorable!
Take care,
Di
