After thinking about it for a long time, I’ve jumped into the world of antiquing. I’m renting a space at the Cold Harbor Antique Mall in Mechanicsville and I’ve got furniture and lamps and dishes and stuff for sale.

I really like going around to all of the antique shops around the area and had been thinking about getting a space in one of them for the past 6 months or so. Back at the end of October, the opportunity came up to get a space in one of my favorites and I decided to go for it.

With this having been in the works for a little while, our house had been filling up with old and/or interesting things. I’ve been moving them into the space over the past few weeks and finding new sources of the kinds of things that I’d like to be selling.

The best items that I have right now are Mid-Century pieces: an American of Martinsville coffee table, a few lamps, a teacher’s desk. I’ve also got some of my mom’s hand-made Christmas stockings, a very interesting vintage poster of the female reproductive organs, and a set of Taylor Smith Taylor dishes including the coffee pitcher.

Here are two of the lamps and some reproductive activity. Check out the cool metal & vinyl chair in the photo below…

Come on out and visit! Cold Harbor Antique Mall is just north of the city, right up Mechanicsville Turnpike. It has maybe 80 different vendors, so there ought to be something interesting to you.

When you see the windmill, you are very very close.
