My friend and me enjoyed the Gulf Coast of Alabama
soooooo much!! Of course it was extremely hot but the water, the beaches, the food, the people were absolutely
"fAbUloUS!!"
If you have not made plans to visit the beach this year then
what are you waiting for?!!Haha! Seriously, the beach is
sugar white sand! We saw no traces of the
"evil, last season oil slick, tar balls" that so interrupted our fun due to the BP Oil blunder!
Today, on the
junkin' road, I want to share with you the antique mall of...
Alice & Wonderland, 7245 N. Hickory St., Loxley, Al 36551
Catchy name, huh?!!
Inside, were two floors packed with wonderful merchandise! You could tell the dealers were diligent in finding different and unusual wares. I could have shopped for hours but
my friend said we were on a schedule!
A schedule? Whoever heard of a schedule when you are out junkin'!! But, back to the mall...
In a tribute to the
"boys of summer" and my all-time favorite sport,
baseball, (yep, I was my daddy's girl!!) I want to share this booth...
All items relating to baseball and vintage sports!!
Baseballs, gloves, bats, oh my!!
I do not know the age of these
baseball catchers' chest protectors and shin guards but I'm pretty sure all would not
pass inspection in today's equipment lineup!
(Did you notice the old window painted out in a sports' theme?
Roll Tide Roll!! It's a great use for an old discarded window!)
I stopped by this booth more than once and each time saw items I had not seen before!
I'm telling ya, the owner had merchandised the space well!
Isn't this a great old stove? Notice the
wooden baseball bats displayed in the old milk can! If you look closely you will find vintage wooden water skis!
Photos, prints, souvenir programs...
AND GLOVES!!
It was a sports related themed booth! Just look at this old
tricycle and
peddle tractor! And for the quilters out there notice the
quilt displayed on the twin sized iron bed!
Very pretty!!
As I've told y'all before I come from a long line of
savers!! I actually rode a tricycle just like this one when I was a little child. It had been
handed down to me...my aunt, then my mother, both rode it before me!!
As you can tell
I really enjoyed shopping this mall! It was a little treasure
my friend and me found on our trip! What treasures have you found lately? A new mall, auction, piece of pottery, glassware, china,
what-not!! I love to hear from you!
Have a Blessed Day!! And see ya down the junkin' road!!
