Once upon a time...in the
Cranky Queen's town, was an old abandoned car dealership. Years before, it had been a family~owned Ford Dealership. The family's name was "
Pickleseimer." That's a name you won't forget! As the story goes, the family sold the dealership to a BIG Auto Dealer accustomed to working with BIG city folks. Hence, several years later, they moved on back to the BIG city.
So the building sat empty...A vision from
Mrs. Pickleseimer was to use the building for
something. But what?
Cranky Queen suggested an Antique Mall.
"If You Build It...They Will Come...And They Did!
The Pickle Patch Market was sprouted! On Opening Day, shoppers came from miles around...& stood in line...& purchased all types of items from fine antiques to best selling novels to local art to the latest in purses & costume jewelry. We were astounded by the crowds eager to shop & buy!
The
Cranky Queen filled her booth with primitives. These old toys brings out "the child" in people!
Horse lovers cannot resist these vintage paint-by-numbers pictures!

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful antique mall. How fun that you have a booth. Congratulations on your wedding anniversary too.
ReplyDeleteSorry I am so late to get here and wish you a Happy Anniversary. Can I use the excuse that I was at the end of the line? Wow- great opening and I hear the big celebration is yet to come. Hmm, there is an empty car lot not far from here with a great building. Who do I need to call?
