Antique Shopping and a Ghost Story

Hi everyone hope you all had a great weekend. Today I’m going to give you a recap of my antique shopping trip last week, and also fill you in on a little ghost story about one of the antique stores we went to. Because everyone’s Monday morning should start out with a good ghost story right?

First of all I met up with Tracy from Southern Sister Designs, by myself. Like, with no kids. It was awesome. I have never met her before but she was a doll.

Antique Shopping

I went to her shop located in downtown Rosenberg, and we then went antiquing at a bunch of the local shops in the historic district down there. They have great antique shops! We were looking for items for my WoCave that I told you about last week, and I had a little play money to spend so we were on a mission.

If you’ve never been to Red Queen’s Attic, you must go. It’s a 2-story antique mecca. It’s also the antique store with the haunted room. But I’ll get to that in a minute.

Like I said the place is ginormous and has a bunch of little individual rooms. This building used to be an old office building. I won’t give you a rundown of the entire history or anything don’t worry. I’m just saying it’s a good place to shop. Milk glass galore for starters.

There is a long hallway filled with this stuff and other pretty glass it just takes my breath away sometimes.

Most of the rooms are filled to the rim with treasures to dig through.

That room I really loved and I loved how all of the accessories are hanging from the ceiling too. So cute and clever.

Then in that same room there was a little area with lots of brassy things I of course loved.

I used a lot of those same items in Ellie’s Vintage nursery too. Love!

This was a neat idea to use a metal tray for a magnet board.

Then of course you know I love me some old winders.

Antique Windows

Okay so for the haunted room….

Tracey knows like EVERYONE at all of the shops so we were walking around with one of the owners at Red Queen’s Attic. We went upstairs and then just casually he said “oh yea, this room was on Ghost Hunters.” And I’m all “WHAT THE WHAT??” Then he tells the story that when they were filming for it looking for the ghosts, it was pitch black of course, and then from across the room he could see all of the orbs and stuff. FREAKY. There is also a little radio tucked away in the corner in that room, kind of hidden. He said it kept turning off and on that night while they were in there. FREAKY, again.

This is the room.

Haunted Room

I think they call it the “Primitive” room? But I can be totally wrong. I thought it’s something with a P. Needless to say, I did not buy anything that came out of this room. I also heard this room was used to store coffins back in the day. Someone made them that was a few blocks away and just stored them here. Ummm, yea. So be sure and ask about this room if you ever go. :)

So what did I find for my little WoCave?  This cute little curvy leg desk…

And this great shabby chic ledge.

It has great detailing on it.

You might be wondering where I’m going to put these items, yes? Well I’m going to create a nice little writing nook in our bedroom. There is a corner in there that’s the perfect spot, and you can never have too many work areas in your home right? Right. I’m pretty excited about it. I think my husband is just as excited about it but I guess he hasn’t caught on yet that is is for the WoCave. Not Mancave. We’ll see who wins.

Paint decisions for both items have not been made yet, as I want to live with them a little while first. I actually don’t mind the wood desk as is to be honest. It’s super heavy and a solid desk too so I’m pretty happy I found it. Even if it was found in a haunted building.

For my next mission with the Skinny Cow WoCave campaign, I’m really excited about it too and received an amazing surprise box.

Any guesses what I’ll be doing? And sorry about all of the bad iphone pics! Looks like I need to clean my lens.

So have you found any treasures lately? Any cool ghost stories? I’d love to hear! By the way, have you tried the Skinny Cow Snickerdoodle ice cream sandwiches? Oh my heavens–delightful! It’s limited edition so hurry and get some. You’ll thank me later.

xxoo,

    Luv your purchases! Can’t wait to see what you do with them. I noticed your redneck wineglass box. I make and decorate them! Mine can’t be used as “glasses”, but they can be used as candy jars. It’s one of my favorite things to make!

    like your selection. Your choice is really very good.
    I also want all these for my home…

    In many states there are but two truly safe financial tools that can do this.
    Most seniors know that one of the best ways to protect
    their loved ones is the purchase of a senior life
    insurance policy. Medicare insurance fraud is a serious crime, and it needs to be reported.

2 months later, and it’s still hard. So very har 2 months later, and it’s still hard. So very hard. It is the strangest, most emptiest feeling one could have, and one that not everyone understands.

Tonight was the 3rd griefshare meeting that I’ve attended, and that does help to be around others who have lost someone close. But it is also so painful hearing their stories. And it’s a night during the week that I’m forced to think about how he’s no longer here. It’s helped me to realize all of the thoughts and actions we have are normal, and the things we do that are odd to others, are actually part of the process.

I haven’t been able to wear these shirts of his yet (he wore them every single day. The red one was his “fancy” one), but I’m glad I have them. It’s just really crappy I can’t see him in them any longer. 💔

This is a pain like no other. I watched him take This is a pain like no other.

I watched him take his final breath at 7:24 this morning. The scent of him is still so palpable.

Gone too soon, and years stolen from his wife and grandkids.

We live in the same small neighborhood, right around the corner on the next street. Now the girls can’t ride their 4-wheelers to go see him. We can’t just swing by to pick him up. He can’t go on our walks anymore. There are lots of no-longers, and it is crushing my heart.

Who am I going to call now when I have a question on how to fix something? He had a solution for everything usually saving us hundreds of dollars. Everything was fixable to him, rather than hiring someone. And often he would find the answer on YouTube.

Who am I going to text with when the Astros make a good or bad play during the next World Series?

I want to hear his voice again. I want to go over and cut his hair again. I want to make him another pie for his birthday and Father’s Day.

It hurts so much.

I love you Daddy.
