Guess Who's Joined us at Winnie & Tulula's

2011-09-04T12:19:00.003-05:00

Joining us from Rubbish & Co, in her own words...

"I'm Mo the eldest child of an antiquing family. On trips growing up, my parents stopped at every junk store along the road while I sat in the car and grumbled, "When I grow up, I am not doing this!" On weekends, we'd load the family station wagon and head off to art shows where Mom sold her handmade wares. At the end of the show as we packed up the booth I thought to myself, "When I grow up, I am not doing this!" On the many trash days when I hid on the floorboard of my mother's car while she snatched a prize from the neighbor's garbage, I vowed, "When I grow up, I am not doing this!" Well, guess what... I am doing this! I'm stopping at junk stores, selling at shows and rummaging through trash piles and loving it!!!"

"My business is a reflection of all those years of "training" to look for that needle in the haystack, to see the potential in the discarded, and to imagine the possibilities of long forgotten treasures."
If you don't already know Mo you should, and we are so happy to have her as part of the WT family.

Summer is for buying and we are all very well stocked, so stop by for some new-to-you treasures.
And don't forget to have lunch at the Bistro.

All Hail the Queen

2010-10-19T08:04:00.000-05:00

By Guest Blogger Anne of Fiona & Twig

I still have so many images to share from my fabulous time spent at Antique Week

in Round Top / Warrenton,

so without further ado, please allow me to present the Bedding Queen of Warrenton,

the lovely Gloria of The Sweet Pea Collection.

Last month I was fortunate enough to spend a bit of time in Gloria's divine space,

and once again, she did not disappoint.

I can't recall just how many times I stopped and said to myself,

"Wow...I've never seen that before!"

She is a true original and an innovator of the highest order.

And you can bet that when it comes time to purchase bedding for our new home (which will be soon!),

Miss Gloria will be getting a phone call from yours truly.

So please, pull up a chair, and enjoy the magnificent

Sweet Pea Collection...

Never mind the crazy chick in the mirror.

With Gloria around, there's absolutely no excuse for ever having an ugly buggy liner again!

Gloria, if you're reading this, this pale green bedding

leaves me absolutely weak in the knees, *sigh*.

The way she incorporates natural elements into her displays is positively ingenious.

This!

The honeycombs as plates...I've never seen anything like this before. Creative genius.

Isn't she amazing?

And remember, if you're ever up near the Dallas area,

Gloria is also the mastermind behind the cutting edge, concept antique mall,

Winnie and Tulula's,

so be sure to pay her a visit.

Photo's from Saturday's Junk & Disorderly Sale
When bloggers show up, it's a party!

Saturday was all about the fun people who came out for some cool shopping and visiting in Athens. I'm sure I didn't get pics of every blogger who came, but I got a few. Wanna see? If you are unfamiliar with these ladies, be sure to check 'em out. They are all a delight!

Here's Margo from Margo's Junkin' Journal and Valarie of the Red Shed Girls.

Adrienne of The Flying Bee came all the way from Louisiana to visit with Cat Daddy. Maybe she shopped a little, too?

Lezlee of Prior dropped by for some quick shopping. Her schedule was full that day!

Miss TnT, aka Trash Talk, aka Debbie was there when Robelyn, our red.neck Chic sweetheart, dropped by to say hello. Linda of Willow Nest was in on the visiting, as well.

Debbie's daughter, Jenn of Preemie Donna, brought Bella out for some visiting.

Now what, I ask you, is a party at Winnie & Tulula's without Angelique of Six in One Hand? She took a 4 hour tour with her hubby and 14 year old son to come see us. It was great to see her!

I even met a lurker or two. Did you know that there are people out there who read our blogs and never comment, nor do they post? Sure nuff! It was fun meeting them.

Click here to see all the pics Mindy took.

Thank you Mindy for blogging about the event.

'Twas the Night Before The Christmas

2009-11-26T14:41:00.000-06:00

Open House at Winnie and Tulula's, when all through the store

Not a creature was stirring, not even a Penguin;

(source: here)

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

One of the guest vendors that will be here.

In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;

The vendors had all their wares ready to go,

While visions of spiced eggnog danced in their heads;

And Gloria in her white outfit was ready for the crowd,

Just as she had just settled down for a quick rest,

Charrise ran out of the back room and there arose such a clatter,

that Gloria sprang from her pretty decorated bed to see what was the matter.

Away to the window they flew like a flash

They tore open the paper that had covered the windows and threw up the sash (to see the crowd that had gathered outside),

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow (could this be true in Texas~oh play along it's just a story)

Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below (which were customers anxiously waiting to get inside),

When, what to their wondering eyes should appear,

But miniature birds decorated by Peg and John, and eight tiny reindeer displayed by Charrise,

With a little old driver (I hope you don't think I'm referring to anyone at the store), so lively and quick,

I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick (or Cat Daddy dressed like Santa or Elvis if you'd like).

More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,

And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;

"Now, Debbie! now Donna!, now Theresa!, Peg and Lillie!

On, Ethel! on Liz! on Rhonda, on Margo and Mindy and Daphne and Amy and Liz and Fran and Tina and Donna and Barbara and Pat and Caroline and Kathy and Linda (all the W&T crew)!

To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!

Now dash away! dash away! dash away all (we have to get ready for opening day)!"

Now don't miss our Christmas Event! We'll be looking for you.

Guest Vendors

2009-11-25T11:05:00.000-06:00

Blogged by Mindy

Guest vendors are the icing on the cake. The bacon on the burger. The egg in the nog. They are what makes something good, even better.

The Remembrance of Christmas Open House at Winnie & Tulula's is going to be Oh, So Good. But, what's making it even better are the guest vendors. The Queen Mother of Winnie & Tulula's and The Sweet Pea Collection, Gloria, has outdone herself. She has invited some amazing guest vendors, two couples in fact, to our event this Friday and Saturday. Wait til you see what magic these teams are stirring up. Pixie dust is flying. Doves are in the air. Glitter is, well, glittering.Linda and Ludmil of Willow Nest have agreed to share their magic with us. Their creative creations will be the talk of the town. I did a word search for "Willow Nest" on flickr. Here are the resulting photos if you would like to peruse. They all, indeed, appear to be our L&L.

Wanna know who the other magic couple is? You may know them as Jon and Peg. Or maybe you know them as French Vanilla. Ooo la la. I saw them when I first walked into the store Sunday, but I had never met them. Didn't know who they were. I kept walking by the window and then, in short order, I saw the birth of beauty. I saw the look of "French Vanilla". I immediately figured out who they were and introduced myself. I searched for them in flickr and had no luck. So, check out this post by Patina Green. They know good when they see it! And TOT with Time-Worn Interiors had this to say about French Vanilla. See? Did you look?

Can you see what all the excitement is about with these guest vendors? Are you convinced it will be worth your drive yet? What more do you need?

It promises to be something unique, the likes of which have never been seen before by human eyes. Don't come expecting soft Perry Como music and cookies. No sireebob...not for our group of elfettes! Gloria is having a deejay, food guaranteed to put 10 pounds on you, door prizes, and enough glitzy junk to send you running to find your shades. Remember, this isn't your mother's antique mall...it will be over the top...rooftop that is! Hark...do I hear reindeer? Not to worry...you'll have plenty of time to go to the early bird specials at Walmart and Macy's before coming to W&T's. Look at that as just OTJ training for our store. Now keep in mind, we don't want to be on the 6 o' clock news with clips of stampeding women...so no snatching and grabbing, please! Although, I swear up and down...you're gonna want to snatch and grab! Did I mention local Texas wine? So instead of hanging around the house eating leftover turkey sandwiches...start making plans to attend....now! I'll be letting y'all in on more details,so stay tuned! Did I mention eggnog bar?

Gotta run now...something glittery just caught my eye!!!
