Gallery Hop AND a Trunk Show!!!



It’s getting to be that time of year…the rush is on – oh heck, who am I kidding???  I feel like the whole year has been that way – but better busy than bored, right (I know there are a lot of us out there…it’s what we do)??  So, having said that – I’m once again a little behind in my blogging.  One of my New Year’s resolutions is to get back on the blogging track…I miss visiting all of your wonderful, inspiring blogs, and hearing from my fellow junkers!
On Saturday, November 5th, Terri and I did our very first trunk show in Columbus, at a great little store called…

Old World New Home is located at 941 N. High Street, in the Short North in Columbus, Ohio.  (click on the pic above to go to their blog)
Carlene Crist (co-owner with her daughter, Betsy) was our hostess for the evening.  It was a busy night – with a constant stream of people up until 11:00 pm…  We met some new customers, and made a few new friends!
It’s a fabulous store, with so much charm and wonderful vintage décor everywhere!  The photos tell it all…so I won’t (ha ha…)!

There’s nothing better than a chippy vintage pink (anything) – the bigger the better!

(Did you mention to Betsy we would have appreciated a little help with those interviews???) ha ha…
And, FYI, Old World New Home is celebrating their 2nd anniversary this Friday & Saturday, November 25th & 26th…stop in and say hi, and browse all the beautiful world of vintage loveliness they’ve created – and start the holidays off with some great buys and loads of inspiration.

  1. Hi -
    I'm so excited to find another Ohio blogger! I've met a couple (on line only) recently, but not many. It's great to see pictures of the Short North and things that are familiar. I'm also learning about all of these great sales that I never knew existed. Just wanted to say a quick "hi" and I'm a follower now so I can stay up to date on all things vintage and thrifty. (I don't even know how I found your blog...I'll just hop around by looking at blogrolls of blogs I like)...Take care!
