My family's Black Friday may sound strange to some...we had a late breakfast at our hotel, visited with extended family at my brother and sister-in-law's (while the now-adult cousins worked on a 3,000 piece puzzle), and then spent a wonderful afternoon walking along the breakwater and stopping for ice cream with my husband, kids, and grandson at the Santa Barbara waterfront.
Cyber Monday? A pleasant blur. I spent the day off my computer because I was at a local Antique Mall,
The Brick Basement. But I wasn't shopping.
HERE'S MY NEWS:
I was setting up a space there with my daughter!
We're calling our little shop "Bookish". We'll be selling antiques and gently used and collectible books and vintage "bookish stuff". My daughter is re-purposing book pages and old music paper for her crafty creations. She made us some really cute tags:
I'll post pictures of our space soon!
In the meantime, take a peek at some of the treasures we'll be selling...We'll see how it goes. Do any of you have experience with selling (or buying!) at Antique Malls. We'd love any tidbits of advice you could give.

ReplyDeleteI originally was going to post because if the pic of the SB tugboat (which James has gone on twice), but after reading your post I'm so excited to visit your shop! Plus, I love "Babyshka and the 3 kings."
