Time for Some Shop Talk

Updated 1/24...read the comments for great specifics about the additions!  At this time we're just making a list of shops, (not shows or flea markets). 

Last week I asked for the names of fun antique shops & malls.  The kinds of places that make your heart beat faster when you walk in.  Your eyes are darting around at all the goodness and  you can't decide which way to go first! 

We've got some great suggestions so far, but I know there are far more to be found.  Let's keep growing the list, and once it gets longer I'll add it to my sidebar permanently.

  2. Hey you, Thanks for the Wertz Brothers plug! A trip to Southern California has to include the famous Rose Bowl for the hugeness of it and the celebrity spotting and Vets Stadium in Long Beach for more celebrity spotting and good byes.

  3. Jan! I am honored! I would suggest Posh, which is on State Street in down town Chicago. I never miss it.

    In Texas, Homestead in Fredericksburg. Owned by Carol Bolton, to whom I give credit for starting this mix of old and new about 20 years ago.
