How's your Christmas shopping coming along? My list is much shorter this year; I'm just about finished except for a few small things for my sons.
Of course every good vintage shopper deserves her own gifts. What did I buy? A pink jewelry box lined with turquoise velvet, vintage post cards, a mini cloche, little metal number tags, and some large cards from a 1961 game.

What a gorgeous store! I spied several items I would have bought! Le 'sigh' wish I could find such a store close to me here in Oklahoma. Vintage who would have thought all the stuff my Mom has would be worth something today!
So glad you had a good day with friends, beautiful shop, too. Blessings.
I can see how 20 minutes turned into an hour! Love the little peeks of Christmas inspiration like the gloves filled with glass bead spikes.
My Christmas shopping list is short but there are a couple of challenging-to-buy-for folks on it. Time to google up some ideas...
And I haven't yet purchased my gift for myself -- that's my reward when I'm done with the shopping list.
:-)
Places like that definitely need more than 20 mins. :D
Like the sign "Don't get your tinsel in a tangle".:D
Enjoy your weekend.
Oh I love the pink parison towers. They are gorgeous.
What a beautiful and inspiring shop. I would totally lose track of time in there. Thank you for sharing the tour!
Oh yes, lots to see. I understand why you were there for a while.
Thanks for stopping by for a Blog Visit and Celebrating the #500 Mark with me! I'm LOVING those stuffed Vintage Gloves... what an Innovative way to utilize Orphaned Gloves and make Holiday Decor from them! Also Adoring the Bottlebrush Tree with Vintage Baubles.
Merry Christmas from the Arizona Desert... Dawn... The Bohemian
Only an hour in that store? I would have been there all afternoon! I saw so many things I would love to buy!
big hugs, Linda
Betsy, that shop needed more than an hour! I want a pink Eiffel tower and the signs are soooo cute. I love seeing other shops it is so inspirational!

Ok I just wiped the drool off my keyboard:) I, too, would have been there at least an hour. Love the signs, bottle brush tree, and all the vintage Christma ephemera. Glad you had such a nice day!
Wonderful shop! Love the "Don't get your tinsel in a tangle."
Oh Yes, I could easily have spent a few hours in that shop drooling over all those goodies! Thanks so much for sharing your pics.
Oh, I love vintage Christmas, and this shop certainly had that in spades! I just love the adorable card with the singing birds near the bottom of your post, Betsy--so cute!
What a fun place. Thank you for sharing and for a great blog. Happy Holidays!
Looks like a great place, so fun!

Betsy, Thanks for your visit and kind words. It really does mean a lot.
My friends and I sound like my kind of shop. I see so many lovely things in your photos. Love all the mercury glass and I definitely remember the Noma tree lights.
have a great day, Ginger
I LOOOOOVE going to Niles and My Friends and I is one of my favorite stores, too. Lucky you live closer to there than I, but I like making the trip over and then cruising back through the canyon on the way back home. Just lovely.

This post is delightful and the one before it with the measuring stick Christmas tress is wonderful. Your quite a creative lady.
I Love your blog.
Your blogging sister, Connie :)
I'm so glad you took the time and took us along on your shopping trip. I have so many things to make that I try not to leave the house to shop any more than I have to because the working hours disappear like that [snaps fingers]. What a fun store! Thanks for getting shots of all the sweet displays! It sounds like you found some goodies.
Liz

Thanks for letting me go shopping with you! I just loved all the eye candy! Ohhh... and did you spy the little metal number tags before me? Darn! LOL
